About the NES-1
The NUX NES‑1 is a next‑gen digital wind instrument that gives you the expressive soul of a saxophone or trumpet — plus the sonic versatility of a synth and the creative power of MIDI. With 50 premium instrument sounds, intuitive sax-style fingering (plus optional trumpet fingering), and breath‑sensitive control, the NES‑1 lets you play with realistic expression — vibrato, portamento, overblows, and more — without the hassles of reeds, maintenance, or bulky gear.
Its bright full‑color screen, easy-to-navigate UI, and dual built‑in speakers mean you can practice or perform right out of the box — no amp required. Need wireless stage-ready performance? Plug into any PA or mixer via its built‑in 5.8 GHz wireless transmitter (receiver included). Want to produce, record, or integrate with a DAW? Just connect via USB‑C for full MIDI control. Add Bluetooth playback for backing tracks on the fly, and you’re set — from bedroom practice to live show or studio session.
