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.
