Patch of the Week 44: Using Nu:Tekt NTS-1 as Korg monologue MULTI Engine Oscillator

The MULTI engine oscillator in the NTS-1 is the same as on Korg prologue and minilogue xd, meaning it can load custom oscillators created with the SDK. Here’s how to combine NTS-1 and monologue together into one synth.

Thanks for showing off the NTS-1 with the -logue family. Something I was grappling with for a while with my Minilogue + NTS-1 arrangement was figuring out how to get mono-to-stereo output from the Minilogue; in case anyone is wondering, you have to come out of the headphone jack, NOT the "Output" jack, because the headphone jack duplicates the mono signal into stereo channels so you can go into the NTS-1 with both channels. You can't input a mono-only signal into the NTS-1, or it will only play out of one channel. Hope this helps others!

I like this diy “Monologue XD” idea, just what I was hoping for, definitely adding the nts 1 to the “to buy” list now

[@s3nsec0rruptr80]

Well...no polyphony. Great versatile bass setup though. Makes me regret selling my monologue

[@CommissionerManu]

s3nse c0rruptr that’s why I said monologue XD and not minilogue XD haha. But yeah, it’d be even cooler if there was a poly nts that could pair with the og minilogue in some way for sure

[@s3nsec0rruptr80]

@@CommissionerManu ah, didn't read closely enough. Yeah Monologue XD is badass.

[@CommissionerManu]

s3nse c0rruptr all good mate, it happens. And now you’ve put the dream of a poly nts in my head, so I gotta thank you for that haha

[@Arperture]

CommissionerManu They should have made them polychain-able.

[@therealfaintinggoat]

The NTS-1 packs so much punch for the price. It's a modern day classic.

[@myblueextremes1526]

NTS1 is great but can you add knob value pick up. So, say I've got the oscillator sounding great and then go to the filter and adjust that. When go back to the oscillator and turn a knob, the knob jumps to the current value of the knob. It would be so useful for the knobs to pick up where the last setting for the oscillator, filter effects etc when you reach it rather than jumping to where ever the knob currently is. Hope that makes sense.

[@crolodon8024]

Nick, I would have really liked to see a longer video of this configuration! Great sound, but too short! Placed my order after seeing this video.

[@richardanderson9015]

Awesome! I’ve just got a NTS 1 and now I want the bigger Monologue!

[@s3nsec0rruptr80]

The nts-1 keeps looking more and more essential

[@jgmusicman2281]

It's amazing. I own it and do not regret buying it one bit

[@atrix1467]

Yet another amazing patch👍

[@wayneanderson2866]

Wow nice sounds!

[@vipixu]

Very nice ! Thank you !!

[@thirfytash7286]

So is this video a tease of what's to come from korg? A self contained monologue xd synth? Wouid love that!

[@drucifuriously]

Wow that sounds amazing. When will the NTS 1 be available in Canada?

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

ok I need that NTS-1

[@nuriamarti100]

Please add a pattern chain feature to monologue

[@jc3drums916]

Sequences are tied to specific patches, so that would require being able to store multiple sequences per patch.

[@nuriamarti100]

@@jc3drums916 there are already 4 lanes, how about playing them sequentially instead of simultaneously. Or better yet how about being able to set a program change at the end of a sequence. It cant be that hard

[@mrcwalker33]

Cool patch idea

[@petrusbarbatusberolinensis2102]

If only the NTS-1 was AVAILABLE! 🙄

[@johnfrytey1331]

Europe 20 february 😕

[@crolodon8024]

It's available! I just ordered one at Sweetwater after watching this video, in stock right now!!!

[@Arperture]

Just bought one through Sweetwater as well. In stock.

[@petrusbarbatusberolinensis2102]

Darek Fryt exactly

[@Paradroidx]

So you need to adapters , one for the midi and one for the audio in huh? ugh wow thats making it user freindly .

[@medooo7xghmdd336]

Nice 🎶🎹🤩❤️👍

[@maxmatson1578]

I just got my "NTS-1" in the mail and also have a "monologue" in red. I would like to sequence the "nts-1" from the "monologue". I'd like to ask which specific type of midi to eighth inch converter, Do I need for the NTS one? Cuz I heard you need a specific one?

[@WATARUJIKU]

Cool🎶

[@atcut]

3:35 thats how autechre made their music...

[@imre1841]

sorry but my monologue won’t send midi notes via midi.. do you have any solutions ? please !! 🙃

[@strangersun7721]

And for the cost of the two of these together, you're approaching minilogue XD desktop prices. Would rather have that.

[@jgmusicman2281]

Not sure what you mean. The monologue is $299.99 and the nts -1 is $100. $399.99 for these two and $650 for the XD. Not trying to be a jerk. Just wondering what you mean.

[@jgmusicman2281]

Oh wait...you said desktop. I see. Still cheaper with both of these though. But with the desktop you get polyphony.

[@justinsaunders1459]

That's assuming you don't already have a monologue.

[@internetretrogamedatabasei6838]

Monologue XD at half the price of Minilogue Xd yeah

[@insolitofilmes]

Is it possible to play the NTS-1 using the Monologue MIDI output and have a different sequence playing by the Monologue at the same time? Meaning, having a MIDI pattern running inside the Monologue and another going through the cable to the NTS-1?

[@couchcamperTM]

no chance, but you could try stuff like that with the midihub.

[@randomdude189]

Kinda seems less like music and more just robot jargon

[@abstral66]

i am buying yore products then more than 20 years and evening the KORG ESX 1 has a much better sequencer with 128bars and chained pattern song mod, you can make real composition , not a 16 bar loops boring like ever, i don't know call Richard again give him 100 000$ to do the update , but do something please
