Knowledge Base:
● POWER : 16 pin bus board required to supply 5v 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.
● OUTPUT VOLUME : We recommend setting the OUTPUT volume to around 75% to
prevent output distortion.
