[ad_1] Korg isn’t announcing much that we didn’t already know, but here’s the rundown. The NTS-1 features a digital oscillator inspired by the MULTI engine from the Prologue and Minilogue XD.

[ad_1] Now, to be clear, I’m not new to the world of synths. I own a few (including a couple of Volcas) and understand the principles at work. But I’m far more familiar with East Coast, or subtractive synthesis. This is the style of synthesis popularized by instrument makers like Moog, where a harmonically rich […]

Both components will be available through Nintendo’s eShop starting […]

[ad_1] The Minilogue and Monologue are a few years old at this point, and approaching modern classic status in the synth world.

On a website for Nu:Tekt, there are two devices listed: a headphone amp and an overdrive pedal, both of which use Korg’s Nutube vacuum tube technology. Nutube […]
