Common NTS-2 oscilloscope kit + PATCH & TWEAK with KORG Questions
How do I sync the NTS-2's internal clock and sequencer to an external MIDI device like a DAW or MIDI controller?
Connect your MIDI device to the NTS-2's MIDI input using a 3.5mm to MIDI adapter. Then, in the NTS-2's Global Settings, set the Clock Source to MIDI and the Sync Mode to your desired setting (e.g., Auto, Internal).
Can I save custom oscilloscope display settings (like waveform color, grid type, and voltage range) as presets on the NTS-2?
No, the NTS-2 itself doesn't offer preset saving functionality for oscilloscope display settings. However, the included software suite from the PATCH & TWEAK with KORG book offers advanced control and may offer preset saving through the computer.
What are the basic steps to start using the NTS-2 as an oscilloscope to analyze an audio signal?
Connect the signal you want to analyze to one of the NTS-2's four input jacks (labeled A, B, C, and D). Then, use the front panel knobs to adjust the vertical scale (Voltage/Div) and horizontal scale (Time/Div) until you see a clear waveform display.
My NTS-2 screen is showing a blank display even though it's powered on. What should I do?
First, ensure the input signal is strong enough and properly connected. If the problem persists, try resetting the NTS-2 by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable, and then check the input range settings to ensure they're appropriate for the signal.
How does the NTS-2's built-in spectrum analyzer differ from a standard oscilloscope display, and when should I use one versus the other?
The spectrum analyzer displays the frequency content of a signal, showing the amplitude of each frequency component, while the oscilloscope displays the waveform's voltage over time; use the spectrum analyzer to identify dominant frequencies and harmonics, and the oscilloscope to visualize the shape and timing of the signal.
