Combining two here.
The Korg NTS1 demo is just that, a short little sound test for a neat thing. I used to do a lot of sound demo stuff on SoundCloud. Sometimes you just want to hear a thing.

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.
This particular patch was just a "random" generated by NTS-web, 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.
"Seventh synth set" was posted to SoundCloud on 9 October 2022, but the recording was from around the same time as the first one:
Found some more recordings from last year's [2021] overseas adventure when I had lots of time and little of use to do. I am 99% sure this is all done on the NTS-1 using built-in effects, although probably using the KeyStep's sequencer/arpeggiator.
