NK 1001 by GTG is a vintage monophonic synthesizer that revives the classic sound of electronic music. Designed for producers looking for distinctive old-school basses and leads, this VST instrument combines the simplicity of the interface with a rich palette of sound possibilities.
NK 1001 Features
- Dual Oscillators: Two independent oscillators allow you to create dense and saturated timbres by detuning or mixing different waveforms. This is the basis for getting that “fat” monophonic sound that cuts through the mix.
- Sample & Hold (S&H) Module: Add surprises and dynamics to your parts with the classic Sample & Hold effect. Perfect for creating stepped arpeggios, random sequences, or unique modulation effects that breathe life into static sounds.
- Pulse Width Modulation (PW Mod): Give your sounds movement and texture with pulse width modulation. This feature allows you to dynamically change the timbre of pulse waves, creating effects from subtle “chorus” to expressive timbre changes that enrich the sound palette.
- AMP Mode Switching (ADSR/GATE): Choose between full control over the volume envelope with classic ADSR or use the simple GATE mode for sharp, percussive sounds. This flexibility allows you to adapt the dynamics of the sound to any musical context, from smoothly rising pads to aggressive bass stabs.
Sound and Application
NK 1001 perfectly reproduces the characteristic timbre of vintage mono synths. Its strengths are, undoubtedly, basses and leads. You can easily create deep, resonant basslines that will become the foundation for your track, or get piercing, memorable melodic leads. Thanks to the modulation capabilities, NK 1001 is also capable of interesting effects and textures, expanding the boundaries of its application beyond typical bass/lead parts. Its simple interface makes the sound design process quick and intuitive.
