Korg NTS-3 Kaoss Pad Programmable Effect Kit

The Nu:Tekt NTS-3 kaoss pad brings the legendary KAOSS XY touch interface into a compact DIY kit that packs serious performance punch. This groundbreaking effects unit features 35 built-in effects ranging from essential filters and compressors to immersive delays, reverbs and imaginative modulation effects. With its powerful engine, you can run up to 4 effects simultaneously, saving your combinations for future use and routing them in various configurations for endless creative possibilities. The extensive editing options allow you to customise and fine-tune each effect's parameters with precision.

Beyond its impressive effects arsenal, the NTS-3 introduces a fresh dimension to live performance through its intuitive interface design. The iconic XY pad drives performance-focused features including Mute, FX Depth and tap BPM, while the creative Latch function lets you control multiple effects independently. What sets this unit apart is its open development API available on Github, which works with the dedicated logueSDK to let users create entirely new effects. These custom effects can be loaded via the upcoming Librarian application, making the NTS-3 a truly expandable platform.

Built for performers, the NTS-3 offers comprehensive connectivity with Sync IN/OUT connections for easy synchronisation with other devices, plus standard audio I/O and USB-C connectivity. The DIY assembly requires no soldering and takes under 20 minutes, complete with reversible metallic black and red side panels for personalisation. Korg provides schematics and instructions for physical modifications, while the included software bundle features Izotope's “Ozone Elements”, “Skoove”, “Reason Lite” DAW, and various software synths to get you started immediately.
