My first dual-synth DAW-less improvised jam!

My Moog Sub Phatty is routed through the Korg NTS-1, which provided the arpeggiated accompaniment and all effects. The output of the NTS-1 was recorded directly on a TASCAM DR-70D and uploaded with no processing or editing (and is therefore most definitely not free of mistakes).

Blipno

This evening I uploaded a few new effects to my NTS-1 and started playing around with new sounds.
I enjoyed doing this take and making it up as I went along.

Rapid Sublimation Of The Soul

Sample of the classic non-linear phase distortion technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer.

Basic Phase Distortion Demo

I don't have the cables to do line input recording from a stereo headphone jack, so I had to use the stereo mic on the Zoom H4N Pro.  Not ideal, but should give you an idea.

The first few plinks are what you get when you just turn the NTS-1 on and start playing some notes.

The rest of it should give you some idea of the possibilities that are presented by the built-in oscillators and effects engine.  This looks and feels like an overpriced toy, but there is an amazing amount of power in this $99 Korg digital monosynth.

Other than adjusting the volume and removing a little room noise, this is all exactly as produced by the NTS-1 through some cheap speakers.  No external effects used.

This particular patch was just a "random" generated by NTS-web (https://nts-web.oscarrc.me/), a free tool which really lets you unlock the potential of this device. This required a USB connection to my laptop, and I played it with my Arturia KeyStep because the ribbon keyboard is just ridiculous.

So basically I'm pretty bad at finishing things, so I'm going to try and do a series of new tracks where I just jam and record and get it uploaded quickly. These are more simplistic in nature, but avoid me obsessing over detail.

On a side note, it's annoying it says this track is mastered, as I tried the Soundcloud mastering out of curiosity and thought the mastering was so bad that I did it myself (which isn't my skillset, but I think I still did a better job than their algorithm) and re-uploaded the track..curiously they're still trying to take credit.

Short industrial techno hardware jam

First there's a sound you need to hear

but no one has yet made it

so you try to make it

it sucks

you keep doing it

gradually it gets closer to what you need to hear

but never quite gets there

you end up making lots of other sounds

and some of those are pretty okay.
