Take inspiration from the renowned intuitiveness and ease of use that has always been the hallmark of all KAOSS products. NTS-3 uses the iconic XY pad to control the most important elements behind an audio signal processor designed for stage performance. Control functions such as Mute, FX Depth, and BPM tap, creatively combine them with Latch to separately manage different effects at the same time.

Unprecedented customization and logueSDK

NTS-3 offers unparalleled editing and customization options in the field of audio effects. It also utilizes an open development API (Application Programming Interface) available on Github that allows users to develop and create new effects via the dedicated logueSDK (Software Development Kit): virtually unlimited expansion and upgrade possibilities with new effects available for this platform. Users can then load these new custom effects into their NTS-3 via the dedicated Librarian software.
