Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Nu:Tekt programmable synthesizer kit NTS-1
digital kit.
The NTS-1 digital kit is a compact DIY synthesizer kit that can be
assembled without any soldering. It features a digital oscillator inspired
by the prologue and minilogue xd; an analog modeled multimode filter;
an analog modelled envelope generator; as well as modulation, delay and
reverb effects. It is compatible with the logue SDK, making it possible to
load your own custom oscillators and effects, or those created by third
parties.
Connections and power
Commercial USB AC adapter (USB 2.0 compatible)
USB cable
NTS-1 digital kit
Computer
USB port
Use the included USB cable to connect the USB port of the NTS-1 digital
kit to computer or a commercial AC adapter conforming to USB standards
(DC5V 550 mA or higher).
Power will turn on, and the device will enter play mode.
Use only the USB cable provided.
Be sure to use an AC adapter that conforms to USB2.0 standards. However,
there may be cases where, depending on the USB AC adapter used, it will
not function normally even when compatible with the standards.
Turning off the power
Disconnect the USB cable from the NTS-1 digital kit.
Once disconnected all LEDs will go dark (unlit).
SLEEP MODE
After 15 minutes of inactivity the device will enter sleep mode. Press the
OSC button to wake up the device and return to normal operation.
Parts and their functions

VOLUME: Sets the volume of the signal output to the speaker and
(Headphone) jack.
AUDIO IN jack: Stereo audio input. The gain trim and mix route can be set
using global parameters.
IN–SYNC–OUT (SYNC IN, SYNC OUT) jacks: These jacks allow you to
synchronize your NTS-1 digital kit to a Korg volca, monotribe or other
equipment—including an analog sequencer or a DAW. The polarity of the
SYNC jacks can be set using the global parameters.
SYNC OUT jack: A 5 V pulse of 15 ms is sent at the beginning of each step.
SYNC IN jack: If this jack is connected, the internal step-clock will be ignored,
and the NTS-1 digital kit ARP will advance according to the pulses received
here.
MIDI IN jack: By connecting a MIDI cable to this input, the NTS-1 digital kit can
be played and controlled by the MIDI output of an external device (See the
Nu:Tekt web site). The MIDI implementation chart can be downloaded from
the Nu:Tekt website.
USB port: Use this USB port to connect the NTS-1 digital kit to your computer,
or to a commercial USB power source.
Be careful not to touch the metal connections, as it can cause short
circuits and failures.
Global Parameters
1. While holding down the REVERB button, turn on the NTS-1 digital kit.
2. Select a global parameter with the TYPE knob and change its value
with the B knob. The current value is displayed on the right side of
the display. If you decide to cancel the settings, press the REVERB
button.
3. When you have finished specifying the settings, press the ARP button.
The settings will be saved, and the NTS-1 digital kit will be restarted.
