Those birds chirps sounds in the background really drove me crazy for a few minutes.... until I realized they came from YOUR video and not my home. LOL. Very useful video. Thanks!

@ChrisLodyMusic 3 года назад

Oh yeah, if I remember correctly it was a super hot summers day and I couldn't bear to keep the window closed. Just think of it as ambience 😁

Great vid..good starting point....realised the potential a few days ago...and ordered one...bargain. think this will be a great small companion for the Neutron🤗

@ChrisLodyMusic 3 года назад

That would make a nice little buddy for it 😄 I guess you'll be able to clock it off the neutron some how too as it has clock in and out connections. That could be fun 😁

@graysynther2169 3 года назад

ChrisLody Mmm..I’m pretty sure the sync in & out are the Korg volca format, Midi sync may be possible..not sure.need to check, but still gonna have fun, even if I have to “go manual” 😛

@schautamatic 9 месяцев назад

I hope I can somehow get all this to work on my…Windows 10 laptop. Just being able to turn off the “bloody annoying” auto power off would be well worth watching this vid! Adding more effects and oscillators is always tantalizing: haven’t figured out how to use a MIDI keyboard with the NTS-1 yet (that ribbon keyboard is fine if you have fingers the size of a lemur’s 😄), but I’ve so far found it quite a nice effects “pedal” for my Microfreak! 😀👍🏼👍🏼

@ChrisLodyMusic 9 месяцев назад

Yes unfortunately the app doesn't work well, I think it may be down to the drivers which are awful too. I'm not the best place to help with that as I don't really know how to fix it. I ended up taking the drivers off after a while. You don't need the app to disable auto power off though (why would they add that when there's no battery 🤷). To do that hold reverb while powering on, turn the Type knob until you see SLP (sleep) then turn the B knob from 1 to 0. Then press the Arp button and it will save and restart. You can find more info about this in the Global section of the ridiculous folding map of a manual.

@sadacksounds2986 4 года назад

Super helpful video, excellent explanation thx so much! One stupid question: how does the looper work? Is there a start stop function. I can‘t figure this thing out

@ChrisLodyMusic 4 года назад

Thanks. That's quite a difficult question to answer without doing a tutorial. It's not a true looper, more an arpeggiator that plays a predetermined set of notes depending on what input it receives. Try holding down the Arp button for a few seconds and the display with say Latch, then hit a note on the keyboard and it will play an arpeggio. Holding Arp and pressing one of the other buttons will change the chord type. Holding Arp and tweaking the knobs will change the areggiator type, number of notes looped and the speed respectively. Pressing Arp briefly again will stop the loop. Hope that's enough to help

@sadacksounds2986 4 года назад

Thanks for the guide, Chris! I followed all the steps and still no success ("Timeout. Please check the MIDI port settings in the Librarian). It is visible in the Librarian midi list though.

Sorry to hear that. From what I hear though so many people have had problems with this app I'm not surprised at all! You might have some luck with Korg tech support of the NTS-1 group on Facebook

@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers Год назад

Chris, is/ should there be any concern about downloading custom packs from numerous websites? Malware, or whatever..?

Yes of course that's always an issue, though I had no problems. Always a good idea to keep you antivirus on and up to date to be sure

@noisesintheattic4202 2 года назад

I have installed the Korg drivers and the NTS-1 Librarian. In the program I can select the midi-out of NTS-1, but the midi-in is not in the midi port list. Strange, because in Cubase 10, MIDIPatchbay and NTS-1 Editor I can select both midi ports. Any idea what's going wrong?

@ChrisLodyMusic 2 года назад

Oh that's weird. I had loads of problems with the Korg drivers and ended up uninstalling them before my other Korg gear would work properly so it might be that. Then again I'm still running windows 7 which is not a supposed to be supported by this

Is there a way to install the custom oscillators with your iPhone? My computer is in the shop right now…seems like there should be a way considering it’s just uploading files through USB

Korg made an app for Mac and PC and as far as I know those are the only options. Shame really

@sammywarren3070 2 года назад

@@ChrisLodyMusic yeah esp considering it’s going to come back with Mac OS Monterey on it and I won’t be able to use the librarian for nts1 or monologue.. I’m going to have to make a legacy partition on a usb drive that boots Mac OS Mojave

@farticusmaximusOG 3 года назад

Is there anyway we could get a Massive wavetable to the NTS1?

@ChrisLodyMusic 3 года назад

I'm not sure to be honest. I'm not a coder but I think the memory size available to use for custom oscillators might be the biggest barrier to getting a wavetable running on it

@farticusmaximusOG 3 года назад

@@ChrisLodyMusic True. I've been converting .wavs' to Nts format and you only have 16384 bytes to store anything (including the sample)

@ChrisLodyMusic 3 года назад

I suppose then if the wave table was super lofi it'd be possible. Like if you used Gameboy LSDJ resolution, which I think is 4bit 32 samples per waveform, you'd be able to do something interesting. That would give you enough room to have a few wave tables actually

@georgekempson670 4 года назад

Even though Korg state the v1.03 updater is available, i can't find it anywhere on either the Korg site, or on the web. I followed your video to the letter for downloading the various free patches (mist.mnlgxdunit) but all i get in my download folder is a document file, it isn't the mist.mnlgxdunit file as shown in your footage. Maybe it's different for Mac?

@ChrisLodyMusic 4 года назад

The latest update is v1.20 so you should skip the others and use that one. Here's the link for Mac www.korg.com/us/support/download/software/0/832/4459/ As for the files for oscillators etc you should be able to find something ending 'unit' somewhere but it's up to the developer how they distribute the files so each one you try will likely be different

@georgekempson670 4 года назад

@@ChrisLodyMusic Thanks for the swift reply Chris. It seems i'm on v1.20 and it's saying i'm up to date but i'm a touch confused about Korg releasing v1.03 but it doesn't seem to be out there. I thought v1.03 was the update for disabling the sleep mode but again, after a search on the net i found how to disable it, so all is good on that part. As i mentioned in my previous comment, i did download the "mist.mnlgxdunit" file but for some odd reason, when i checked my download folder, it was just a text file. Anyway, i'll have another go tomorrow and see how i get on. Thanks again.

@ChrisLodyMusic 4 года назад

Perhaps that is just down to the way that Mac OS interprets unknown file types, I don't use Mac so I'm not sure. Maybe try grabbing a few different freebies from a few other developers and see if they're any different. Hopefully that'll help

@emanuelburduja9 3 года назад

Do you know if you can you MIDI sync it when used as an FX unit?

@ChrisLodyMusic 3 года назад

By sending midi CCs to the various effects parameters do you mean? Yeah that should be possible, that would be quick a cool thing for me to try in a jam to test it out

@emanuelburduja9 3 года назад

@@ChrisLodyMusicWhat I had in mind was more like using MIDI clock to have the delay synced to the external audio. I think Eventide H series and other similar top tier effects pedals have that feature.

@ChrisLodyMusic 3 года назад

I just had a quick go at the because I wasn't sure if it supports it, it doesn't. Certainly not for the standard delay because turning the time control doesn't display anything other than 'time'. Even with a sync signal running into it, it isn't audibly snapping to intervals or anything. So it's a no unfortunately

@emanuelburduja9 3 года назад

@@ChrisLodyMusic Yeah, I was afraid it wouldn't. Still a great little box of wonders, even more so if you consider the price. Thanks for the fast response and I hope to see more jams and tests featuring it.

i wasted hours trying various videos even this vid kinda failed me. For some unknown reason the nts-1 will not talk to my computer if i connect it via the front usb ports.

At least its sorted, now and i can upload stuff to the nts-1. all good now :)
