Manufacturer and Concept of the Korg NTS-4 DIY Performance Mixer

With the NTS-4, KORG continues its Nu:Tekt DIY series, offering a mixer that combines the DIY concept with professional performance features. The unit was designed as a powerful mixer that pairs particularly well with compact electronic instruments. Thanks to its mini-jack connectors, it is particularly well-suited for use with mini-synths, drum machines, and effects units from KORG’s own NTS, volca, and monotron series, as well as with numerous sound generators from other manufacturers.

The concept behind the Korg NTS-4 DIY Performance Mixer is designed for creative flexibility. The mixer is intended not only to combine multiple signal sources but also to be directly integrated into performance workflows. To this end, each channel features practical controls that help you precisely control, preview, mute, or process signals with effects—whether you’re performing live or working in the studio. This makes the NTS-4 a versatile tool for electronic music setups.

Technical Details and Connectivity

Do you need a mixer that clearly combines multiple compact sound sources while offering ample options for creative signal processing? The Korg NTS-4 DIY Performance Mixer features a total of two mono and four stereo channels. All channels use 3.5 mm mini-jack connectors, making the mixer particularly well-suited for modern, compact setups. The mono channels can also be operated at Eurorack levels via an internal switch, allowing for additional flexibility when integrating compatible devices.

For output, there are two main outputs in the 6.3 mm jack format as well as a headphone output. Additionally, the mixer features a MIDI output for signals received via USB. The built-in USB audio interface via USB-C further expands the capabilities of the Korg NTS-4 DIY Performance Mixer, making it a practical interface for live and studio applications. Power can be supplied either via USB-C or an optional 9V power supply.

Performance Features for Live and Studio Applications

The Korg NTS-4 DIY performance mixer offers a SEND control as well as MUTE and CUE buttons for each channel. These features are particularly helpful when multiple instruments are connected simultaneously and individual signals need to be selectively prepared or muted during a performance. The CUE function for each individual channel allows for controlled previewing, thereby supporting smooth transitions during live performances.

PAN controls are available for the mono channels, allowing you to adjust their positioning within the stereo image. In addition to an effects loop for external effects, the mixer offers a wide selection of digital send and total effects. This allows you to shape the sound directly within the mixer without necessarily requiring additional effects units. At the same time, the effects loop preserves the option to integrate external effects into the setup.

The mixer really shines when paired with mini-synths, drum machines, and effects units, as the mini-jack connectors and channel layout are tailored to these applications.
