Quarta for KORG NTS-3 is an interactive multi-effect preset by Sinevibes that runs on the KORG NTS-3 kaoss pad. It lets you assign up to four stereo effects to separate XY pad zones.
Quarta is an expansion pack from Sinevibes for the KORG NTS-3 kaoss pad. It is built for real-time processing, so each effect is triggered by touching a zone on the XY pad. Four zones can each hold a different effect, and the set draws on a range of filter, comb, phaser and frequency-shifting algorithms. The developer describes the result as a performance effects tool for live use on the hardware.
Each of the four XY pad zones can host its own stereo effect, chosen from ten algorithms: Low-Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass, Notch, Peaking, Phaser, Comb Positive, Comb Negative, Frequency Shifter and Resampler.
Because the effect type is set per zone, you can keep a filter in one corner and a resampler in another, then move between them during a performance. The developer notes that parameter mapping is tailored to each effect type.
For every zone you can choose how the parameter responds: a fixed value, a random value, control along the X or Y axis of the pad, or tempo-synchronized animation.
The pack also includes high-resolution parameter filtering and fade envelopes, and Sinevibes says the plugin initializes silently, which helps keep transitions between effects smooth.

Quarta is designed for the KORG NTS-3 kaoss pad and runs on that hardware.
Quarta supports up to four separate stereo effects, each assigned to one of four zones on the XY pad.
The set includes Low-Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass, Notch, Peaking, Phaser, Comb Positive, Comb Negative, Frequency Shifter and Resampler algorithms.
Yes. Parameters can be set to random values, mapped to the X or Y axis, or animated in sync with tempo.
