Duty cycled pink noise can be used with spectrum analysers to check the absorption and reflection parameters of a room when setting up a studio as you can send a noise pulse into the room and then see what comes back during the silent period. You can then use this information to a: add sound absorption if an area is sending back something nasty, and b: balance the sound of a room using graphic equalisers. Pink noise is used because it's closer to the response of the human ear than white noise.

"Pink noise is used because it's closer to the response of the human ear than white noise." -- no, you're thinking of grey noise. Pink noise is used because it has the same acoustic energy across all octaves. The problem with white noise is that, because it's equal loudness across the spectrum, higher-frequency sounds sound louder than lower frequency sounds - 70dB of soundwaves vibrating 1,000 times per second has a lot more energy than 70dB of soundwaves vibrating just 100 times per second.

When I first worked in the sound department at a small tv station, back in the late 70’s - early 80’s it was so simple: record to tape, make razor-blade edits until the sound clip was the same length as the video clip it would accompany, then let the video editors sync them up. I’m retiring this year, and as I look back at the changes over the decades (8 track, to 16 track to two-inch 24 track tape to recording direct to disk, finally to recording to, and editing and mixing in a computer) - I am amazed. Sound really has become a science, and audio engineering is quite a technical (as well as creative) thing. This KZbin vid kind of blew me away. I’m thinking, we used to just assume some mysterious noise in a signal was likely due to electrical flow somewhere. We’d check for overlapping cables, and to make sure the fridge was unplugged, but ultimately had to resign ourselves to the fact that somewhere down the chain, EQ would have to be used to attenuate the approximate frequency range the noise occurred in. But with a scope hooked right to the recording console, you don’t have to so much: “fix it in post”. Brilliant vid here my friend. Thank you.

Bro, you can make a jig and buy a real scope for another 100. I had the volca beats and gave it away then regretted it haha. I got it free though with almost 10k in gear so I can't complain. 300 beans in Canada for it and a siglent can be had for another hundred with built in wave gen. I think my issue with the scope is the build quality. They are making 250 off it after parts. I'm a fan of korg so I hate to dis. What's with the European obsession with electronic music? When I was a kid there was an awesome metal scene with virtuoso level players from Europe. I enjoy building synth circuits but I'm a daily guitar player since I was 14 and take 2 hrs just to warm up. Religiously for over 30 years. I'm trying to find a decent midi keyboard for my daw. Weighted keys preferably.

Very cool! It's really nice to see a music/modular-focused 'scope in a nice portable form factor, and to see the NTS series expanded. In addition to an old analog oscilloscope, I do have a device called an Xprotolab, which is a tiny 'scope - 1"×1.6", with a 1" OLED screen - that's meant to pop into a breadboard, and which I've designed a Eurorack module to house; it does some of the things this does, but not as well. (Sadly, the manufacturer has discontinued the Xprotolab. And to give appropriate credit, Division 6 made a PCB that could be turned into a module similar to the one I'm working on; it was a giveaway at Knobcon 6.) I've found it very useful for all the reasons you mentioned, in addition to my electronics development work.

Just got mine today, the standalone unit (no book) and it was simple to assemble. I'm testing it now with Dixie2+, switching octaves, pitch, lfo/vco mode, and using different outputs. There's a bit to learn, but after watching the video and playing around with it for about a half hour, most of it is simple to figure out. I don't have the splitters yet, but patching 4 Dixie waves through my Joranalogue Switch 4 and outputting them through the two switchable channels, I can easily cycle between all 4 waveforms with just a pair of regular TS patch cables, so I can view sine + sub, or saw + flip or whatever combo, at the simple turn of a knob - Rather a nice way to use those 2 channels that I hadn't considered previously. Also interesting to view the odd/even harmonic outs from the MN Spectraphon. Also very handy for tuning multiple oscillators - I can get XPO and Rings and 0-Coast/0-Ctrl all working together in harmony in just a few seconds, or tune them at intervals for use with a sequential switch or shift register. It's a bit battery hungry, I noticed the power indicator drop after just an hour's use with fresh Energizer Max alkaline batteries, with battery mode set to alkaline. I'd definitely recommend using the usb cable as much as possible to save money on batteries. Later on, I'll upgrade to the Mordax Data, but this is a great little starter unit. I'm planning a lesson for my kindergarten students, I'll take in some modules and the NTS 2, and let them play around with either the Tetrapad or 0-Ctrl and see how the visual waveforms change as the sound does. We'll have a box with salt/sand to do the vibration patterns over the speaker cone thing as well, get them thinking about sound as a medium we can interpret with our other senses besides our hearing. If it was good enough for Beethoven, it's good enough for me. It's a shame the screen doesn't port out to an external display over the usb, but we can always film the screen with a cellphone and mirror it. Should be fun. Thanks again, Loopop, for your content. I've learned a ton from your videos.

Korg is so pro-consumer I love them. I would have loved to see a voltage monitoring/reference mode as well. I use the DATA all the time to dial in the range of voltage of a modulator and the voltage reference to calibrate for certain firmware updates. Weird there was no mention of the Seeed Studio DSO Nano v3 which I see as this thing's direct competition other than the through outputs. Internal battery/nice metal enclosure for like $115 and a DIY version for like $25.

I like it, good review! the cost is a bit prohibitive to me because the scope I use to just monitor my eurorack was 25$, not 225$. I would give 100 bucks for it because of the advanced features. Also if you have ever used an old school scope the reason you can move the wave forms around is so you can line them up with the time and voltage divisions count how many boxes the wave takes up, and calculate it based on the division settings. this was before the scope calculated it for you. Great fun

Another great video. I just pre ordered mine from Sweetwater. My sales engineer, Jared called me back yesterday to let me know the expected delivery is the end of July. He also said they received a larger than expected amount of preorders and requested additional units from their distributor to handle all of the orders. I suggest if anyone wants to get one they should preorder it now. I suspect initially they will be in short supply. Personally I think it’s a great unit at a pretty good price when you consider their other books alone (like Synth Gems 1) sell for around $70.00.

This is smack in the middle of my cheap 30€ DIY DSO 138 mini that I converted into a Eurorack module and my big scope that I use for trouble shooting circuits, so I wouldn't have much use for this one myself. It does look like a really good option if it's your first scope though and if you don't really need it for circuits. If you do plan on using this for troubleshooting circuits, I'd recommend going with a big scope! Those can be had for about the same price now and can do even more stuff. If you don't have this kind of money, for 98% of my use cases the DSO 138 mini is good enough even as someone who is into Eurorack DIY!

I’m on a (long) search for a hardware spectrum analyser for my master channel. Will this be of any use for that? Thanks.

Great video. Just a quick note. The Optx module from Boredbrain is advertised as having DC-coupled inputs, however it does NOT. Only DC coupled outputs. The manufacturer confirmed that in Modwiggler.

So I’m sure you answered this question but I’m not the sharpest tool. Can you send a desired frequencies to monitor through a 3 head tape deck to bias the deck to factory specifications? Thanks for the video. It was great…

Just an FYI - if you're getting noise when nothing's plugged in, it's a problem known by Korg. If you registered the device on their website, a quick video of the unit to support showing the noise when unplugged and a copy of the original sales receipt is all it took to get an RMA for an exchange. Shipping is to Melville, NY if you're dealing with Korg USA.

That thing is pretty awesome. I have a "real" scope, but it lacks all the cool audio/music specific features that this one has. I don't think I'll buy one, but I'd totally jump on a full-size version.

Ah man, when I saw this in the thumbnail I was anticipating a moment, when you got back to the box and picked another panel as a suprise-twist saying: "and if you like to have it IN your Eurorack, here is the conversionkit!". It never came. I am of course seeing the market-niche for a desktop-unit because there is things like the Mordax Data in Eurorack, but I'd really liked it as a contender to that module. Especially the build-it-yourself-approach without soldering and the individual parts as they're picked here were strongly inviting to that idea. May not be Korgs market, but could have been the step to add "that damn modular costumers" to their selling-range even better. Highly subjective opinion, cool thing nevertheless.

Awesome breakdown, as always! Just wondering if you know how to flip the orientation of the text in the Scope Art - gave it a shot through Ext. Audio Effect in ableton to the NTS-2, but my text all shows up backwards. Did you add a step in between the source and the oscilloscope when you wrote out your text?

For anyone else wondering this, I just figured out that you can reverse the X-axis by inserting a Utility and reversing the polarity of just the left channel. Hope this helps!
