The appearance and user interface of the Nu:Tekt NTS-1 digital kit synthesizer can be customized by replacing the front panel with a custom created one. This site provides the base material and guidance for the creation of such custom panels.

Note: Custom panels are supported by the NTS-1 digital kit firmware version 1.10 and newer

Note: Firmware version 1.10 will be released late February 2020

Reference Custom Panel Design

We provide an open hardware reference panel design that can be used for prototyping and as a template for the creation of new custom NTS-1 panel designs.

The reference design includes a minimal user interface in the form of 10 switches, 8 LEDs and a rotary, and also has Arduino shield compatible expansion connectors and ST-Morpho connectors like on the STM32 Nucleo boards to simplify prototyping.
