Korg NAUTILUS - Dazzling New Sounds; Streamlined Workflow; KRONOS Pedigree
The NAUTILUS: Video Manual Part 2 - Program Mode
Description
The Korg NAUTILUS Music Workstation is a premium synthesizer designed for musicians and producers looking to unlock vast creative potential. Boasting nine onboard sound engines derived from Korg's acclaimed KRONOS workstation, the NAUTILUS delivers over 2,200 preset sounds alongside extensive sampling and sequencing capabilities. is thrilled to introduce this innovative, cutting-edge instrument that places a world of sonic possibilities at your fingertips.
Unparalleled Sound Quality From Multiple Engines
At the heart of the NAUTILUS are nine dedicated sound engines that faithfully recreate the tones of essential instruments like pianos, electric pianos, organs, analog synths, and more. The enhanced SGX-2 piano engine captures every nuance of the acoustic piano, while the EP-1 mimics the iconic sounds of seven famous electric pianos. The CX-3 engine provides the distinctive tonewheel organ sounds that shaped generations of music. Combined with engines for analog modeling, physical modeling, and digital synthesis, the NAUTILUS offers a staggeringly diverse palette of sounds for any genre or style.
Massive Collection of Unique, Current, and Standard Sounds
The NAUTILUS features over 2,200 preset sounds divided into three categories: Unique sounds like prepared pianos and found percussion; Current sounds for modern music styles such as EDM, electro, and chiptune; and Standard sounds including pianos, guitars, basses, and more. The Unique and Current sound libraries contain one-of-a-kind samples created specifically for the NAUTILUS, offering inspiration for sound design and music production. The Standard sounds provide essential tones for any performance or recording situation.
Intuitive Interface and Real-Time Control
Despite its immense sonic depth, the NAUTILUS features an intuitive user interface that puts the sounds you need right at your fingertips. The touchscreen TouchView display offers elegant graphic interfaces for each sound engine and mode. Six real-time knobs provide hands-on control over filter cutoff, effect depth, arpeggiator tempo, and more. Four programmable knob templates let you customize the knobs for your preferred performance setups. The Dynamics knob enables you to adjust keyboard sensitivity on the fly for delicate acoustic-piano-like expression or a uniform synth-action feel.
Powerful Production Tools for the Modern Musician
As a true workstation, the NAUTILUS offers sophisticated yet accessible sequencing, sampling, and audio recording capabilities. The 16-track MIDI sequencer and 16-track audio recorder provide all the tools needed to compose and produce complete songs. An open sampling architecture lets you capture and manipulate your own samples using the NAUTILUS' onboard effects and synthesis engines. USB and MIDI connectivity allows for control from external keyboards, modules, and DAWs. For live performance, the NAUTILUS offers convenient features like seamless sound transitions, Set List mode for organizing programs and combinations, and an onboard drum track.
