KORG - Nautilus

With the Nautilus 61 AT, Korg redefines what a modern synthesizer workstation can achieve. The clearly arranged control panel makes it obvious that most operations are carried out on the large 7-inch color touch screen. Six knobs and six buttons can be freely assigned to suit personal workflow; depending on the mode, they are also preconfigured for specific tasks such as setting the arpeggiator or adjusting filters. The velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted 61-key keyboard responds with aftertouch and provides an excellent playing feel. Closely linked to this is the Dynamics control, which changes the keyboard’s touch response so dramatically that it is easy to forget you are still playing the same selected sound. Alongside numerous PCM sounds and drum kits, nine different sound-generation models stand out as highlights of the Nautilus 61 AT. Musicians will find Korg classics such as the MS-20, CX-3, Polysix and Prophecy, as well as high-quality electric piano and grand piano tones, strings and cutting-edge synthesizer sounds.

Extensive sound generation

The Nautilus sound engine includes nine independent synthesis methods, covering everything from premium pianos to experimental synthesizer textures, from orchestral sounds to rock and pop staples. From the factory it is loaded with about 760 MB of PCM samples, and the user can expand this to 2 GB. A total of 2560 sounds and 104 drum kits are preinstalled.

SGX-2: high quality piano
EP-1: various electric piano models
CX-3: simulation of the CX-3 drawbar organ
HD-1: digital synthesizer with powerful, crystal-clear sounds
MS-20EX: simulation of the MS-20 synthesizer with extended possibilities
PolysixEX: reincarnation of the Polysix synthesizer from 1981
AL-1: good cross section of analog synthesizer sounds
MOD-7: handles the iconic Korg Prophecy / Z-1 sounds and even FM
STR-1: the physical modeling specialist for string instruments of all kinds

Effect power

Effects play a major role in sound design. Inside the Korg Nautilus 61 AT, sixteen effect processors provide the finishing touch. Each track features a three-band EQ. Twelve insert effects can be applied to individual sounds or combinations or even chained in different places within the virtual mixer. Additional master effects refine the overall sound. External audio signals entering via the stereo input can also be processed, turning the Nautilus into a formidable effects unit.

Sampler!

Korg’s Open Sampling System makes it easy to record and edit samples from external audio sources, with full resampling capability. Maximum sampling time depends on available PCM memory and can reach up to 80 minutes in stereo in disk mode. The instrument imports AIFF, WAV, SoundFont 2.0 and AKAI S1000/3000 formats from a USB stick. With a USB-Ethernet adapter, the Nautilus can join a computer network for fast data exchange with a computer.

Sequencer and live functions

A sophisticated sequencer is naturally part of this workstation. Sixteen MIDI tracks and sixteen audio tracks are ready to capture ideas and complete productions. A new drum input mode, familiar from drum machines and groove boxes, is also included and can be accessed via the touch screen. The flexible arpeggiator offers 1500 presets and can be applied to any MIDI track. Selected control elements can be customized so that, for example, a filter menu or the start/stop button is always a single touch away. The display can be switched to a night mode for eye-friendly operation. Musicians working on several projects will value the immediately accessible set lists.
