Korg NAUTILUS 88 Keyboard Workstation

Nautilus is a new synthesizer workstation from Korg and shares many sound creation features with their flagship Kronos instrument. Nautilus features the same raw sound quality and premium keyboard feel as Kronos, but with a new simplified control surface, and a re-designed 7-inch TFT TouchView WVGA graphical interface & operating system.

Nautilus loses the KARMA algorithmic musical effect generation technology found in Kronos but features a unique set of rotary encoders which can be click-pushed in 'flush' to the body of the instrument for safe travel purposes. Nautilus is definitely a synth keyboard made with the discerning performing musician in mind.

M1 is more powerful than ever in Nautilus
In addition to being able to play the full content of M1 within Nautilus, it is also possible to take advantage of the huge evolution in technological and musical power it represents. This includes powerful effects, drum tracks, arpeggiators, smooth sound transition, huge polyphony (M1 had 16 notes!), 16-part combis (M1 had 8), 32-track audio and MIDI sequencing, immersive ease of use with real-time controls and colour touchscreen, and access to 9 other unique sound engines.

MIDI Sequencer & Multitrack Audio Recording

Since the days of the M1 Music Workstation back in 1988, Korg has produced keyboards which are truly capable of producing a complete track from start to finish. Nautilus continues pushes the boundaries of onboard recording features even further with a 16 track MIDI sequencer plus 16-tracks of audio playback (4 track simultaneous record) recorder. The recorder allows complete mixer automation of volume, pan, EQ, FX sends, BPM and more. Auto Song Setup function makes it easy to get a recording as soon as inspiration hits!

Set List Feature

The Korg Set List feature makes it easy to arrange and select programs, combinations and songs quickie - for instance during live performance. A Set List can contain up to 128 different patches/songs arranged in the order you need for a gig or a studio recording session. A total of 128 Set Lists can be created and stored in the memory of Nautilus. Better still, Nautilus features the same patch remain feature found in Kronos which means the sound does not 'cut off' when changing between different programs and combinations.

User Sampling Feature

There is approx. 2GB PCM sample RAM available, dependent upon how many Expansion PCM libraries are loaded. By default, the Nautilus loads approx 1.2GB of expansion sounds when shipped from the factory, but these can be erased for users to laid their own samples. Sampling is carried out at either 16-bit/48kHz directly into the user RAM, or up to 24-Bit/48kHz onto the built-in hard drive. Maximum sampling time to the disk is 879MB at 16-bit. Useful sample editing such as time stretch, time slice, crossfade loop and other options are available.

Effects

There are 197 effect types which can be assigned to 12 insert effects, two master effects and two total effects.

Quick Layer/ Quick Split Function

Quick Layer allows you to choose two programs and split or layer them across the keyboard. Search for sounds via category/bank/name and adjust the octave shift of either voice independently. This is a really simple way of creating simple sound combinations on the fly. You can even choose the upper and lower key window for the layered voice which means, for instance, that layered strings only sound in the higher registers of the keyboard.

Drum Track
