Following decades spent refining digital, analogue, processing and hardware tech, Korg present the powerful and unprecedented Nautilus workstation. Backed up by a whopping nine engines, supreme sampling, audio recordings, effects, and unparalleled processing might, Korg might have actually managed to signal a new age of synthesis. The considerately thought-out workflow makes this synth the ideal partner for any sonic experimentalist and obliterates the risk of losing that all-important connection with the instrument itself.

The Korg Nautilus: Sound-Engines
With a total of nine, very specific sound engines, the Korg Nautilus is, of course, able to shape faithful reproductions of pianos, electric pianos, organs, and plenty more. The new and improved SGX-2 engine provides a refined expressiveness to enhance every nuance of any acoustic pianos, including minute details like velocity sensitivity and twelve-step string resonance. The EP-1 engine more than convincingly reproduces seven of the most renowned electric pianos of all time; the CX-3 engine reproduces the unmistakable sound of classic tonewheel organs, and when you add the MOD-7 VPM FM synthesis, the PolysixEX, and MS-20EX analogue modellers, and the STR-1 physical modeller, you have a total, and undeniably mouth-watering package.

Sound Groups
To streamline the sound selection process, the sounds provided by the Korg Nautilus have been divided into three groups: unique sounds, modern sounds, and standard sounds. Already, Korg have cleared away any old workstation conventions, and created a much more inspiring production environment, where, in the Unique section, a stack of phrase loops can be found alongside the brilliantly irksome sound of prepared pianos and more uncommon, found percussive sounds. In the Modern section, everything current can be found, including EDM, electro, chiptune, while the Standard section offers a more traditional list of instruments, like pianos, electric pianos, guitars, basses, and more.

Setlist Mode
Fully prepared for the gigging key-player, the Nautilus comes complete with a Setlist mode, where all of your carefully crafted material can be organised, placed in the right order, and primed for a smooth and tight show. The fitted touch-screen can be customised, to the point where you can add 16 colour-coded buttons, and you can even colour-code the buttons yourself, for a clear and flowing performance per song. Another useful stage-focused detail is the ability this keyboard has of retaining flawless sound as you switch through modes. This is directly down to the SST system – or Smooth Sound Transition System that continually ensures that the signal never drops-out or even hesitates during mode transitions.

The 88-Note Keyboard
The keyboard of this 88-note model is populated by four-step real hammer-action keys, each made in Japan using manual processes. This is actually the renowned Korg RH-3 keyboard, which has the gracefully realistic feel of a heavier action through the lower notes, progressing to a lighter action as you reach the higher notes. Simple in concept and nothing short of elegant in practice. This keyboard has also been finished with luxurious wooden side panels, and comes including a nice pack of software, like Izotope Ozone Elements, Skoove, Reason Lite, and many Korg-developed software-synths.
