That's way too expensive!!!! Instead of this crap, buy yourself a proper entry level oscilloscope. You can get a 100MHz 1GSas Rigol or Siglent for less than €300, which is enough for me locking lasers every day.


Does the "proper entry level oscilloscope" you talk about come with guides on how to use it for music production and other studio tasks? Does it also come with a "flexible waveform generator", spectrum analyzer and tuner too?

If so, could you please provide the link to exactly what oscilloscope you have in mind, as I could buy that instead of NTS-2 in that case.

You can find old Tektronix App Notes here: https://w140.com/tekwiki/wiki/Application_Notes

Tektronix's Measurement Concepts are here: https://w140.com/tekwiki/wiki/Concepts_Series

Both are free and very well-written. I would skip the "Circuit Concepts" series, as it's mostly focused on circuits for analog oscilloscopes. While neither resource is specifically focused specifically on music production, studying them will give you a broad understanding of "what's going on under the hood", which you can apply to music production.

If you really want "here's how you add pink noise using Korg's MS-20 (sold separately)", then I suppose you could just buy their book.

The first two are table stakes for cheapie Chinese oscilloscopes, since... oh, probably at least 10 years ago.

The "tuner" on this one is just a different UI for the FFT/spectrum analyzer. I suppose that could be it's USP, but why not just learn how to use the FFT/SA if you're excited about having that feature anyway?
