This revolutionary FX unit product features the iconic KAOSS XY pad touch interface, a compact yet powerful, customizable DIY kit!

●Features

■Performance with KAOSS power

Despite its compact size, the NTS-3 kaoss pad is a treasure trove of KAOSS effects. From essential filters and compressors to immersive delays, reverbs and imaginative modulation effects, it offers original and unexplored performance possibilities.

With its powerful engine, the NTS-3 can play individual KAOSS effects or seamlessly combine up to four effects simultaneously. Freely switch these effects on and off and route them in various configurations for unlimited creative expression and limitless performance possibilities.

And that's not all. The NTS-3 opens the door to a wide range of editing options, allowing you to customize and tweak the parameters of each effect down to the last detail, with the freedom and precision your creativity demands.

■Free playability

The NTS-3 is not just an FX unit, its unique interface brings new sounds. With excellent playability in a compact body that you can carry anywhere, it will take your playing to a new dimension.

Inspired by the intuitive ease of use that underpins all KAOSS products, the NTS-3 uses the iconic XY pad and is equipped with performance-specific functions such as mute, FX depth, and tap BPM, as well as a creative latch function that allows you to control multiple effects simultaneously and individually.

■Overwhelming customizability and logueSDK

The NTS-3 offers free onboard editing and customization options, and with an open development API (Application Programming Interface) available on Github, users can develop and create completely new effects via the dedicated logueSDK (Software Development Kit)!

Users can load these new custom effects into the NTS-3 using the dedicated librarian application (coming soon).

■Excellent Connectivity

As a performance-focused FX instrument, the NTS-3 offers comprehensive and flexible connectivity options.

The Sync IN/OUT connections allow you to play in sync with other devices quickly and easily. In addition, an internal switch allows these connections to be used as MIDI inputs and outputs, giving you even more connectivity options to suit your style and workflow!

■Nu:Tekt DIY Fun

As with all Nu:Tekt DIY products, the NTS-3 KAOSS Pad Kit is safe and easy to assemble(*).

To make the assembly process even more fun, we have included reversible side panels in metallic black and metallic red reminiscent of the KAOSS.

(*) No soldering is required, and assembly takes less than 20 minutes.

■Physical Customization and 3D Data

Thanks to its DIY nature and open design, the NTS-3 is a highly customizable FX unit that can be modified in several ways. Using the open source logueSDK, in addition to allowing users to build their own effects, the NTS-3 hardware can be physically modified, both in appearance and functionality. To get started on your physical customization, we provide the necessary circuit diagrams and instructions!
