Introduction
We designed the NTH so that a user manual would be unnecessary.
The NTH is so simple to use that a novice can quickly craft a variety
of timbres. For the synth veteran, the NTH is a fun tool without
layered menus and obscured features. Every synthesis parameter
can be altered by simple manipulation of a knob, button, or slider.
If you are interested in the specifics of NTH operation, read on. We
are excited to share.
