Knowledge Base:

• POWER: 16 pin bus board required to supply 5v 500mA for the Korg NTS-1. If your rack's power supply only offers 10 pin, you can use a standard USB cable and wall charger to power the NTS-1 externally.
• NOISE: NTS-1’s are known for having noise issues when powering their unit from the same device managing the audio signal, if you have this issue, we recommend using the supplied 16 pin bus board cable with the attached noise isolator if connecting to your racks power supply.
• SYNC: When both SYNC IN / OUT TRS cables are connected to the unit, the NTS-1 will only accept a SYNC IN signal through the faceplate, the SYNC OUT then acts as a THRU. If you wish to use your NTS-1 as a clock via SYNC OUT, leave the SYNC IN TRS cable disconnected.
• INPUT TRIM: Since most Eurorack modules send a hot signal, we recommend changing the KORG NTS-1 INPUT TRIM to -16dB to avoid clipping your input signal. Refer to the KORG user manual.
• OUTPUT LEVEL: The Korg NTS-1 sends a LINE LEVEL output signal. If patching back into a eurorack system, the level will be extremely low, we recommend using our INCLUDED power supply/noise isolator/amplifier combo which supplies 20+dB (5v) of output volume on top of the NTS-1‘s output level. With the output set to 30%, the outputs on the front panel will be matched to standard Eurorack levels without distortion.
• UPDATES: If you need to update your firmware or want to add new effects/osc’s to your NTS-1, simply unplug the USB cable from the noise isolator and plug it in to your computer. No need to remove it from the faceplate!
