Why I Love the Korg NTS-2 Oscilloscope (spoiler: it's WAY more than just a scope)

The Korg NTS-2 is way more than an Oscilloscope - it’s a Tuner, FFT Spectrum Analyzer and even a Wave Generator! On my modular eurorack system I take my oscilloscope / tuner for granted - and on my desktop synths I really needed a similar solution. I always need a tuner, I often want to see the shape of the audio or LFO modulation waves I'm using, I also often want to check the voltage outputs of certain CV signals - and with my semi-modulars - like the Moog Mother-32 or Grandmother synth, I could really use a secondary LFO for modulation - and I'm not always near my eurorack system for that.
The Korg NTS-2 Oscilloscope has become my perfect answer. It was a $229 kit (including a beautiful $45 hardcover book...) and does all of the above with loads of options.
In this video I'm just giving an overview of most of the features in case you're considering it and want a walkthrough before you buy.
Here's what's in the video:
0:00 - intro
1:07 - inputs/outputs
2:15 - controls
2:45 - modes
3:05 - Scope
6:00 - Wave Generator
9:20 - FFT / Spectrum
10:25 - Tuner
11:38 - Global Settings
12:10 - surprise.
Using an #oscillator is a great learning tool and a sound design tool - and the Korg NTS-2 not only gives you that, but so much more.

Man that was a good review! You'res was better than Loopop's - and that name check was not a dis to him but a serious compliment to you. Well everything i needed to know you addressed, excellent work.

Totally agree - and the wave outputs are so handy as extra LFOs on my semi modular synths!

I had this on pre-order for about six months, got it immediately upon release, built it that afternoon- and have used it just once since then because I was intimidated by it. This video helps A LOT. Thanks!

I’d like to analyse some sounds and then try to recreate then using a FM synth (Opsix in this case). So I think I’d use one input for the reference wave and use the second input and tweak the Opsix until I get near wave #1. Can I do this with that device? So the inputs would come from a daw/audio interface and synth output and none of that modular/ 5V or so.

That sounds completely possible - just two inputs with the scope set to “separate-2” - cool idea… only challenge will be that source wave likely won’t be as clean and tidy as a sine, saw or square and still might be really hard to match - but using your ears first and seeing the difference visually is still pretty cool

@@rochefsky thanks. It seems that I’m a little late for buying the nuts-2. There are nearly none on the German market.

99% yes - but I’m not in front of it at the moment… manual is online if you want to be sure

It has a stereo input. So you can connect 4 mono signals with splitters.

with two LFO generators, scope, tft, tuner and small size, I haven't seen anything better for the price - maybe soon they'll show up pre-built on Reverb/Ebay

If I connect the NTS-2 to audio out of my mixer a) I NEVER get a such a clear signal as it's not in the 5V range like your CV out, but more in the 0.01 region with loads of noise and b) it creates a ground loop as the USB power is not isolated, so I have to use a denoise cable with a transformer to use the oscilloscope at all. Over all, I'm very disappointed (and sold the book for 25€ on Reverb as I wanted an oscilloscope, not a book). I'd rather buy a different oscilloscope.
@rochefsky
@rochefsky 7 месяцев назад
Great points! I found using a power brick helped with the usb noise - and yeah, I think more people would buy the nts2 without the book if it were $40 cheaper that way…

I would love to try - software suggestions? Would that include the wave gen out (analog?) or digital gen, with all the parm control? I have not coded oscillator generators (not to mention graphing the waves etc… I’m just comparing to other products I’ve seen - the $230 was worth it to me.
