This groundbreaking new effects unit seamlessly integrates the legendary KAOSS X/Y touchpad and distinctive KAOSS effects into a compact, customizable DIY kit. With up to four simultaneous effects and deep editing capabilities, the NTS-3 is a true performance powerhouse, offering incredible versatility that will take your live sets to new heights.
Master the KAOSS
Don't let its compact size fool you—the NTS-3 kaoss pad comes loaded with a treasure trove of legendary KAOSS effects. From essential filters and compressors to immersive delays, reverbs, and mind-bending modulation effects, you'll be inspired to explore a world of creative sound design. With its impressive processing power, the NTS-3 allows you to use individual effects or seamlessly combine up to four effects simultaneously, with the ability to save your favorite combinations for instant recall. Turn effects on and off as needed, and route them in various configurations to give your creativity the freedom it deserves. But that's not all—the NTS-3 offers extensive editing options, allowing you to customize every effect parameter to your liking. Create your own signature sound!
Unlimited Possibilities
The NTS-3 is more than just another effects unit. Its unique controls open up new dimensions for your performances, all in a compact format that you can take anywhere. Inspired by the intuitive control concept of the legendary KAOSS series, the NTS-3 utilizes its iconic X/Y touch pad to control performance-oriented effects such as Mute, FX Depth, and Tap BPM, as well as a new Latch function that allows you to manipulate multiple effects simultaneously.
Personalization and logueSDK
The NTS-3 offers a wealth of customization options, including an open API (Application Programming Interface) available on Github. This allows users to develop their own new effects using the dedicated logueSDK (Software Development Kit). This opens up virtually unlimited possibilities by allowing the NTS-3 to be constantly expanded with new effects, further tailoring it to your personal vision—a true game changer! These new custom effects can be uploaded to the NTS-3 using the special Librarian software (available soon).
Connectivity and Flexibility
As an effects unit designed for live performance, the NTS-3 naturally features extensive and flexible connectivity options. Synchronizing time-based effects with other devices is a breeze thanks to the integrated SYNC input and output.
DIY Fun with the Nu:Tekt Concept
Like all other devices in the Nu:Tekt series, the NTS-3 can be assembled quickly and easily*. To give you the option to customize your NTS-3 during assembly, the side panels are metallic black on one side and metallic red (reminiscent of the KAOSS series) on the other - choose your favorite color or combine them! *No soldering is required; the entire assembly process takes less than 20 minutes.
Physical Modifications and 3D Data
Thanks to the "do-it-yourself" concept and open design, the NTS-3 is a highly customizable effects unit that can be modified in many ways. In addition to the open-source logueSDK, which allows users to program their own effects, the hardware of the NTS-3 can also be visually and functionally modified. To provide a good starting point for your own modifications, the necessary wiring diagrams and instructions are available. So there's nothing standing in the way of your personal modification ideas!
Free Software Bundle
The NTS-3 comes with a selection of music software, including Ozone Elements from iZotope, which allows you to master your own tracks with the help of artificial intelligence, a trial subscription to the piano learning software Skoove, and software instruments from KORG and other manufacturers. In other words, the moment you hold this effects unit in your hands, you also have a versatile selection of software products at your disposal to help take your music to the next level.
Oscillators: Yes
A powerful oscillator system allows users to create rich and variable sound textures. Oscillators can generate a variety of waveforms, including sine, square, triangle, and noise, allowing for creativity and experimentation.
Modulation: Yes
Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.
