Full Description

NTS-2 Four-Channel Oscilloscope Kit

Visualise your sound

The perfect gift for any synthesizer enthusiast; the NTS-2 builds on the success of the NTS-1 synthesizer kit, with this 4-channel oscilloscope and book bundle. A veritable one-stop-shop for any synth lover; the NTS-2 combines a powerful oscilloscope with an FFT/spectrum analyser, a dual waveform generator and an onboard tuner. Coming in the form of a DIY kit, the NTS-2 can be set up and ready to use within 10 minutes – no soldering required!

The oscilloscope has long been used to visualise voltage signals as waveforms, providing instant visual feedback for your input signals. With four channels at your disposal, you can visualise up to four signals simultaneously. You can even compare and overlap each of the four signals. The oscilloscope features a range of display mode to choose from; providing a crisp and vibrant colour screen. It also features dedicated buttons and clickable encoder knobs for quick and easy navigation of settings and parameters.

Real-time spectrum analyser with FFT mode

In addition to the oscilloscope, the NTS-2 also features a powerful, real-time spectrum analyser. Selecting the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) mode provides the means to analyse waveforms and signals, represented by the sum of sine and cosine signals. This unique spectral analysis is great for sound design, allowing you to clearly see tonal changes with ease.

Dual waveform generator and precision tuner

Equipped with two oscillators (each with dedicated outputs); the NTS-2’s Wave Generator mode allows you to create a wide range of waveforms. Sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse and noise waveforms are included, providing the ability to customise the shape and phase of each waveform for added flexibility. You can use the various waveforms as control voltage sources or use them within the audio range. They can also be triggered as one-shot impulses or be set to continuously cycle. The versatile nature of the waveform generator means you can use the various waveforms as LFOs, envelopes, trigger control voltage generators and even as a sound source.
