NTS-1 Oscillators by Tweeeeeak!

Free NTS oscillators and stuff. Now for NTS-1 mk II as well.

RoaR

RoaR is a very simple oscillator that randomly generates digital sounds and sequences, with a simple turn of a knob.

Each sound can be a simple patch or a rhythmic (16 step) sequence.

You can play simple, tuned and playable sounds, or go wild with glichy, complex and total random sounds.

Rhythmic sequences can also by synced to the ARP or SEQ, or external equipment.

J6

J6 is a chord player oscillator and sequencer.

This oscillator is inspired by the Roland J-6 synthesizer, so you can check it out to understand the concept behind this oscillator.

Each note plays a different chord, and there are 100 different chord sets. These are the same as the Roland J-6 chord sets, that can be found at: https://static.roland.com/manuals/J-6_manual_v102/eng/28645807.html

It also includes:

• Mixable waveforms: saw, pulse, pulse suboscillator (with PWM for the pulse waves)
• 100 playing patterns (rhythmic, arpeggios and mixed)
• Transpose in semitones up to + or – 4 octaves
• 16-step sequencer with variable step length, for a max of 16 bars of chord playing

Volca Bass

The Volca Bass oscillator copies the “architecture” of the oscillator section of the Volca Bass.

It includes 3 oscillators, each with on/off, saw/square waveform, and pitch control up to +/-1 octave.

Includes also a slide function, octave selection (even with the ribbon), and a step sequencer, with 16 steps for notes or rest, and slide selection per step.

It features 3 memory slots for sequences, and a 4th group slot, that plays all the other 3 at the same time, each to its oscillator, paraphonically.

ROAT

ROAT is an 8-bit experimental oscillator inspired by the Soma "Rumble of Ancient Times" synthesizer.

It includes 4 oscillators that can be triggered independently, by pressing 4 different zones of the keyboard, or recording a step sequence.

Combining oscillator activation with the different settings per oscillator (pitch, shape, LFO) and different combination algorithms, and adding randomization and chaos, gives you a wide range of sonic possibilities, from melodic to digital noise.

Settings per oscillator:

• Pitch
• 16 different waveshapes
• LFO (for pitch or amplitude) with 8 different shapes
• 16-step rhythmic sequence, syncable with external devices

Additional features:

• 3 oscillator combination diagrams with 7 different summing algorithms per node (including FM)
• 2 randomization algorithms
• External audio processing (NTS-1 mk II only)
• Chromatic play

Proba-B

Proba-B is a probability sequencer based oscillator.

Use the built-in arpeggiator or record a step sequence, from 1 to 64 steps (default is 8 steps). Then assign probability values to each step, for step mute, transpose and shape change. The oscillator waveshape itself is a triangle waveform, with wave folding (shape parameter) and frequency modulation (alt parameter).

Works great with delay effects.

Extra features include:

• microtuning
• time division
• transpose, with auto minor to major scale converter.
