Cool Holographic scopes?
► The scopes I use aren't real - I use MOscilloscope and MAnalyzer by a company called Melda - they’re free with some limitations in the MFreeFXBundle.

Dear Korg, THIS is what we (at least i) want for a new pro KAOSS pad. Please please PLEASE make a proper KP3 sized version of this with 1/4inch stereo i/o.
-
Thanks very much or featuring our upcoming plugins! This is such an incredible new platform. And we kindly welcome you and your son to the developer club 🙂
-
I’ve had a pre-order on this since the day it was announced. It’s looking to turn out incredibly powerful!! I’m excited
-
As I thought this is a definite buy for me, simple, cheap and powerful as you and your son demonstrated. So glad to see innovation returning to the entry level of the market.
-
Awesome! I’ve been waiting for this little thing! Love that they’ve made it open for developers too. Cracking vid as always mate.
-
Can we all appreciate how amazing it is that you worked with your son on developing an effect. This will have a huge positive impact on him.
-
Absolutely fantastic...and such a contrast to its disastrous recent bigger sibling! Was already excited for this (as an NTS-1 and Modwave fan) but did not expect it to be this amazing. Tactile heaven :)
-
yesss! so glad I pre-ordered this, been wanting a Kaoss pad for years!
-
That's a really nice box! Thanks for showing it off so thoroughly
-
Really enjoyed this review, and love your son’s contribution! Great food for thought on this NTS-3!
-
Damn! I am a super fan of the original Kaosspad and Kaossilator. So happy about this!
-
Glad I had this pre-ordered on the annoucement day. It's going to be an awsome creative tool with multiple instances of the phasing looper with effects between them.
-
Hi Ziv, your reviews are thorough & engaging. Thank you🌅
-
Your son did a great job! That’s a really nice and very useful effect.
-
Thank you so much for the loopop FX! I can’t wait to test it on my minilogue XD! 🙏
-
This device is creative in Multiple ways. This piece of hardware I understand, whereas with many hardware devices nowadays I really doubt if they have something to offer that software can't do better and more versatile. Nice that there is an DSK with this effect unit, that makes it enter another level of making it your own. Thanks for the nice reviews... You are an Icon on youtube!
-
Awesome, love it, great video as usual!
-
Stereo in and out is cool. Great way to level up an older synth with the effects and filter. Nice
-
Bought the NTS-2 on your recommendation, was a fun build and a cool introduction confidence booster to the DIY aspects of synths. This one looks as flimsy, but a cool addition to the collection.
-
Korg really knocked it out of the park with this one
