My only question is does this have the Herbie Hancock Chameleon bass preset like the Kronos does? It would save my band about $1400 for live performances.
@@NURREDIN There is 'Chameleon bass' preset, but I don't know is it the same you talking about. Besides, it's ridiculous one sound could determine a purchase. Just program this bass sound with a synthesizer you already have or use different bass. I mean, everyone around knows you are not Herbie Hancock.
@@alicaramba7680 It's for a show band here in Vegas. I'm not the keyboard player. If this wasn't Sweetwater,I'd tell you what I think about your reply,but I'll just chalk it up to abject ignorance on your part.
This is, without doubt, the pinnacle of demonstration videos. Incredible talent coupled with taste and personality. The inventive nature and breadth of knowledge behind the performance was inspiring. Bravo, Maestro!
Was stuck between the new Roland O and this, pulled the trigger on the Nautilus 88, the difference in build quality and sound quality along with the clean interface sold me… Can’t wait to get my hands on it….
I own a Kronos 88LS synth-action keybed I bought from you guys & to me that is the ultimate synth that I will never have to replace! I've owned it for several years & don't think I've heard everything it can do yet! Most of the sounds you are playing are in my Kronos.
It’s exactly a streamlined Kronos. I think it’s going to see a lot of traction after a while. I own a few Korg workstations this gives me a little brother feeling. Nice 👍🏾
This would be a massive upgrade from my second gen kross, I’m still hesitant because of the lack of faders which would be nice to control the drawbars in real time which I could ignore as it’s for my own amusement at home and possibly recording. I may kick in the extra for a Kronos but they appear to no longer be available at any of the main music stores here in montreal Canada. Anyone know if Korg is planing on releasing a new workstation as an upgrade to the Kronos? I find it strange that there are very limited places that I can purchase a new one here or online. Anyone else using one of these for studio only? I’m not looking at gigging any time soon and would like something with a better sound engine than the kross (not that it was bad, it served me really well as a gigging board). *****EDIT***** I pulled the trigger on the nautilus, have had it for a couple of weeks now and I’m absolutely blown away with it. It sounds amazing, feels great and the sounds are easily accessible and tweakable to suit my needs. I was indeed correct that it is a massive upgrade from my kross. I don’t really miss the drawbars as I don’t play enough organ at the moment to use them so the adjustments on the touch screen are more than fine enough. I understand for some the boot up time might be long and could be an issue for gigging if the power goes out but it would definitely be an improvement for my bar gigs as the samples are much better and the lossless sound between switching patches is a huge benefit. This is more than adequate for my needs as a writer/producer of my own rock/blues music as well as a gigging board for the classic rock bar band I was part of. It is a decent bit heavier than the kross but feels much more solid especially the keybed but not crazy that it would be difficult to bring to a gig.
Nice---impressive and Finally!!---I'm totally sold on this!! This will be my next investment. This is coming after 13 years of production on the Korg M3 88keys and recently the Korg Krome Ex 66 keys. The Nautilus seems to be exactly what I've been waiting for from Korg as a back up to the KorgM3.
i bought a Jupiter-X but sent it back because it didn't seem worth the money, think i'm leaning toward a Nautilus now, those piano sounds are beautiful.
Modx. Nautilus. That’s where I am. I make a broad range of soundscapes. Maschine(Komplete)/MPC/Studio One/Roland MC 101. Which one will help round out that core.
The face he makes at 11:12 - I picture Ross Geller from friends doing the hand motion to signify the performance has ended and it is time to applaud his genius HAHA so good!

Hi, thanks for your interest! The Nautilus does come with a software editor, which provides deeper control over settings on the instrument when it’s connected to your computer. You may also be able to convert sample libraries from other formats, such as Native Instruments Kontakt, to the format accepted by the Nautilus - I’m not aware of an officially supported method for doing this, but there do seem to be some folks who have had success with it on the Korg forums: www.korgforums.com I hope this helps a bit - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

On the Nautilus 61 AT - Does it have Windows software or an editor to control the keyboard from the computer? I believe when it first came out it did not have this software. Up at Korg, I think I see something that looks like it exists?
Unfortunate that after about 8minutes in, the left / right channels collapse into mono destroying All the beauty and space of pingpong delays, lush moving pads, Leslie simulations, chorus Rhodes, spacious reverbs and in many cases, the collapsed stereo field puts some sounds completely out of phase all together. It’s a shame as The Nautilus clearly is a capable and powerful machine, this does this beautiful instrument absolutely no justice. Please consider reposting this after the sound is fixed, it deserves it.
Do you know if piano and EPiano engines are based on sampling or virtual acoustic modelling? Unfortunately the video actually seems to sound really..."synthetic".
On a Windows computer I have an AI (Audio Interrace) connected via USB. I assume it is NOT possible to daisy chains the USB connection of the Nautilus into the computer some way at the same time? Is it one or the other on the USB connections? I think this is a DAW limitation to where it wants to see one dedicated AI at a time? I do have 2 computers side by side. By using both computers, perhaps I can pull off some of what I want to do and have more capability... Do you have any thoughts on this?
@@kylew706 I own both the Modx (88) and the Kronos (88). I love how the Modx sounds overall,, keybed pretty good (GHS), considering it's a synth and not a digital piano. Great keyboard for the price. Kronos is a beast, complex and sounds spectacular. You can literally do everything you want. By tweaking, modifying and retouching certain parameters you get impressive sounds. The Kronos is in a different league. The Nautilus is a joke for the price, utterly unacceptable for what you get. My recommendation: test and play both by yourself before making the decisive move. The Modx sounds beautifuly out of the box and right off the bat without modifying anything. I got mine (brand new) for 1275e a few years ago, a little bit more expensive nowadays but after doing a proper research and waiting for the right time you'll get it for less than 1300e easy.
I owned a Kronos 88 and an OASYS 73, didn't like either one.. I purchased a Korg Krome and thought the horns on the M50 were better as well as the guitar sounds. I now own a Kawai MP7, Yamaha MODX7 and a Nord Electro 2 73 and I wouldn't change those for any Korg.. I still have a Korg N series rack mount which I use with the MP7.. But as far as ever buying another Korg workstation, they have a lot of catching up to do with their sounds IMO..
Why is A0 the teeny tiniest bit shorter in length??!! At first I thought maybe it was the angle, but you can notice it from both the bird's eye view and side view.
Hi, thanks for your interest! Yes, you can split the keyboard on the Nautilus series. This could be as simple as playing bass on the left hand and piano on the right, or you can create complex combinations of up to 16 different sounds with splits, layers, and velocity switches. I hope this helps - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
Korg hasn't released a sound module in a long time. I hope they make a module that includes Nautilus sounds and more, and if possible, a sampler feature.
Hello! Yes, the Korg Nautilus 88 is a fully metal chassis (with wooden endcaps). If you've ever seen the Korg Kronos in person, they're built in a very similar way.

When will these be available? Given that it has many Kronos sounds and engines - it seems parallel to when Korg did the Triton LE . I've had the Krome for 8 years. I like the pianos, Rhodes. The B3's are decent but there is really only 1 great drum kit. Is Korg planning a successor to the Kronos? Its as if they are partially coming out with this as they have already sold to the segment to pay for a $3k board.
@@gcmproductions3499 Nautilus arguably is better, that's why it's more expensive. But put it in perspective - it's better for pro performers and studios. If you are a 'bedroom' producer and songwriter MODX is more than enough for your needs. Nautilus has additional 2 stereo outputs, full midi sequencer, 16 track audio sequencer, integrated sampler, plenty of patch expansion options (paid third party sound libraries), more extensive effects system and step better physical keyboard quality. If you don't need these features Nautilus isn't gonna be better than MODX for you. On the other hand MODX has better integration with PC/Mac with multiple parts streaming Nautilus lacks (only stereo in/out). It's basically down to features you need or not (and price, and look and other minor things).
@@alicaramba7680 Great answer Ali, You seems to know your profession.. I was looking at Kurzweil PC4-7 almost made a purchase after I sold my Roland FA-06 but this Nautilus is definitely my go to choices after all the research. Love the fact that its got 16 tracks of audio recorder plus 16 of midi sequencer, I don’t have to bring my laptop with DAW to the gigs with one board it covered plus with massive of sound and effects sampling capabilities it’s endless features..
It is possible to migrate songs from a Krog Krome? I understand there will be some quite a bit of mapping involved to set the patches right to sound similar to how it was programmed on the Korg. But just wondering if the MIDI data can be migrated from te Korg Krome created in sequencer mode and somehow move it over to the Nautilus.
Great question! Yes, you can migrate all of that data using the .SNG files from the Krome. You’re right that there will be mapping involved and complexity will depend on the arrangement, but the Nautilus will allow you to associate the audio files and mapping for the samples. I hope this helps, but reach out if you have any other questions! Connor Smith, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1793, connor_smith@sweetwater.com
Hi Kostas, great question. The Nautilus can import the basic sounds/samples from the Kronos, but there may be some issues importing combi sounds from the Kronos due to changes in the firmware. You will likely be able to recreate whatever sound you had on the Kronos but it will just take some extra work. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
When I read the specs it looks as though the Korg Nautilus will actually work with USB MIDI controllers like the Novation Launchpad X, the Korg microKEY, and the Roli Lightpad Block. Can anybody confirm that this is so? Usually USB MIDI controllers are just for use with a DAW.
does this keyboard include the "legendary" programs that come with the Kronos? I mean those sounds that replicate the instruments of some classic pop songs (Imagine, Supertramp, Journey, Beatles, etc)?
Hi, thanks for your interest! Yes, the Nautilus will include the cover-focused presets from the Kronos, as well as a variety of newly designed sounds using the Kronos sound engines. Feel free to contact me directly with any further questions! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
Nice demo. I hear a lot about all those engines... I loved the sounds from the Triton like for example Dolphin ride etc... Can these engines pull this off?
GREETINGS...... Peter here. Thx for a vivid review of the Nautilus. My humble question is..... Will the sound cut when you enter Global Mode for a KEY TRANSPOSE. Or is there a dedicated button for Transpose.
Hi, Peter! Thanks for your interest. Since there isn't a dedicated transpose button on the Nautilus, you would have to enter the Global menu in order to access the Key Transpose feature. One potential workaround for this would be to create a preset Program or Combination that is already transposed ahead of time.

Hello! The Korg NanoKontrol Studio will unfortunately not work with the Nautilus because it's exclusively a USB MIDI device which must be plugged into a computer.

It honestly went downhill the moment he turned reverb on the piano, it was decent just dry but the samples in my Electro 6 will walk circles around the Nautilus.
@@NOLASkaGuitarist I take your point, and maybe the Electro 6 has better sounds. I still find it hard to believe that Korg would put out such a terrible sounding machine. There's more to this story than meets the ear.
Saw elsewhere someone said the video from about 8 minutes on is in mono which may explain a bit but still even in the beginning with the piano I wasn't impressed. Maybe bad audio post production too
Hello! There are a few different ways to control the volume of different sounds inside of the Nautilus: you can assign an expression pedal to them, or you can manually ride their volume changes using the main jog wheel to the right of the screen, both of which will affect the volume of a certain channel within the sequencer.

Comes down to the intended goal. To make an independant film--digital keyboard like this KORG or hybrid. You have a band that needs electronic sounds--KORG. There's no point in buying an acoustic piano unless that is exactly what some one is looking for in the home. You can't put an acoustic piano into "silent mode" to those around you. Best they can do is muffle the sound. Which few people want. Vs a full colume (controllable) simulation. or the sound from the real thing.
Hi, Jack! Thanks for the interest. Like most pro-level workstation keyboards, the Nautilus does not have a built-in sound system - so you would have to connect it to speakers, an amp, or headphones.

Hey Benjamin, thanks for reaching out! Honestly, the best stand for you will depend on the context in which you’re using it. I would have different recommendations for you depending on whether you are out gigging or not, if it’s going to be mostly stationary or if you need something that can be easily moved around or stored away, whether you stand or sit or both when playing, and so on. It’s a really nice workstation so I’m sure you will want a nice stand for it either way, but the best form for you could vary.

Kronos is a beast, complex and sounds spectacular. You can literally do everything you want. By tweaking, modifying and retouching certain parameters you get impressive sounds. The Kronos is in a different league. The Nautilus is a joke for the price, utterly unacceptable for what you get. My recommendation: test and play both by yourself before making the decisive move. The Modx sounds beautifuly out of the box and right off the bat without modifying anything. I got mine (brand new) for 1275e a few years ago, a little bit more expensive nowadays but after doing a proper research and waiting for the right time you'll get it for less than 1300e easy.
I understand it does have aftertouch@@gabrielirlanda
I owned a Kronos 88 and an OASYS 73, didn't like either one.. I purchased a Korg Krome and thought the horns on the M50 were better as well as the guitar sounds. I now own a Kawai MP7, Yamaha MODX7 and a Nord Electro 2 73 and I wouldn't change those for any Korg.. I still have a Korg N series rack mount which I use with the MP7.. But as far as ever buying another Korg workstation, they have a lot of catching up to do with their sounds IMO..
Why is A0 the teeny tiniest bit shorter in length??!! At first I thought maybe it was the angle, but you can notice it from both the bird's eye view and side view.
I laughed, muttered something rude, then took a look and had to agree with you. Well spotted 👏🏻👏🏻.
Great finally hearing some bass patches,does it have any moog like bass sounds?
You are The Best Keyboard player 👍
Hi Jacob, I’d like to know if the Nautilus 61 key has a split keyboard?
Hi, thanks for your interest! Yes, you can split the keyboard on the Nautilus series. This could be as simple as playing bass on the left hand and piano on the right, or you can create complex combinations of up to 16 different sounds with splits, layers, and velocity switches.
I hope this helps - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

Korg hasn't released a sound module in a long time. I hope they make a module that includes Nautilus sounds and more, and if possible, a sampler feature.
Hi, is the chassis of korg Nautilus 88 in metal all around..I mean the bottom aswell? Thanks
Hello! Yes, the Korg Nautilus 88 is a fully metal chassis (with wooden endcaps). If you've ever seen the Korg Kronos in person, they're built in a very similar way.

This is a master piece 👌
Is the Nautilus Korg Keyboard in Bangladesh ? If it be here so I need one of this Kb.
When will these be available? Given that it has many Kronos sounds and engines - it seems parallel to when Korg did the Triton LE . I've had the Krome for 8 years. I like the pianos, Rhodes. The B3's are decent but there is really only 1 great drum kit. Is Korg planning a successor to the Kronos? Its as if they are partially coming out with this as they have already sold to the segment to pay for a $3k board.
This is the first time I’ve heard pianos I like in a Korg keyboard. Wonderful pianos and wonderful piano player! He reminds me of Tony Banks.
Same as the kronos
@@biggrime i think thé pianos are changed
They're world renowned. lol
@@evanwyatt9971 they just added some expansion that can be loaded into the kronos
@@biggrime that’s quite annoying, although at the price it’s good... perhaps a new Kronos next year and this is the new budget model?
Its 10000000% better than my modx6 korg nailed it like always
I have the modx8 u think this is better?
@@gcmproductions3499 Nautilus arguably is better, that's why it's more expensive. But put it in perspective - it's better for pro performers and studios. If you are a 'bedroom' producer and songwriter MODX is more than enough for your needs.
Nautilus has additional 2 stereo outputs, full midi sequencer, 16 track audio sequencer, integrated sampler, plenty of patch expansion options (paid third party sound libraries), more extensive effects system and step better physical keyboard quality. If you don't need these features Nautilus isn't gonna be better than MODX for you. On the other hand MODX has better integration with PC/Mac with multiple parts streaming Nautilus lacks (only stereo in/out). It's basically down to features you need or not (and price, and look and other minor things).
@@gcmproductions3499 Its boot up time is 2min.. any hack to reduce it ?
Modx seems to be better in one man performance ... is it ?
@@alicaramba7680 Great answer Ali, You seems to know your profession.. I was looking at Kurzweil PC4-7 almost made a purchase after I sold my Roland FA-06 but this Nautilus is definitely my go to choices after all the research. Love the fact that its got 16 tracks of audio recorder plus 16 of midi sequencer, I don’t have to bring my laptop with DAW to the gigs with one board it covered plus with massive of sound and effects sampling capabilities it’s endless features..
Great Demo! Amazing!!
I am from Brasil and Just Gotta check a few things before buying it- How is the polyphony?
It is possible to migrate songs from a Krog Krome? I understand there will be some quite a bit of mapping involved to set the patches right to sound similar to how it was programmed on the Korg. But just wondering if the MIDI data can be migrated from te Korg Krome created in sequencer mode and somehow move it over to the Nautilus.
Great question! Yes, you can migrate all of that data using the .SNG files from the Krome. You’re right that there will be mapping involved and complexity will depend on the arrangement, but the Nautilus will allow you to associate the audio files and mapping for the samples.
I hope this helps, but reach out if you have any other questions!

Not bad for a ‘streamlined’ version.🤨👍🏾
nice video. i. have a question. can nautilus read combi sounds from korg kronos ?
Hi Kostas, great question. The Nautilus can import the basic sounds/samples from the Kronos, but there may be some issues importing combi sounds from the Kronos due to changes in the firmware. You will likely be able to recreate whatever sound you had on the Kronos but it will just take some extra work.
Thanks!

How about the leslie effect on the organs? good?
Sounds good.. But hate how it looks with the curved ends on the 61 key version!
it is noticeable that the screen often does not respond properly
When I read the specs it looks as though the Korg Nautilus will actually work with USB MIDI controllers like the Novation Launchpad X, the Korg microKEY, and the Roli Lightpad Block. Can anybody confirm that this is so?
Usually USB MIDI controllers are just for use with a DAW.
Nice instrument...
Thanks for the heads up 👍
how about showing some ballroom genre, & country ?
How does this stack up against the Yamaha modx
Great presentation …. I am sold
does this keyboard include the "legendary" programs that come with the Kronos? I mean those sounds that replicate the instruments of some classic pop songs (Imagine, Supertramp, Journey, Beatles, etc)?
Hi, thanks for your interest! Yes, the Nautilus will include the cover-focused presets from the Kronos, as well as a variety of newly designed sounds using the Kronos sound engines. Feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!

@@sweetwater thank you Caleb
@@sweetwater hii sir is this is the best or Kronos 2 88 is best
What about AftetTouch here ???!!!😊
Great video! Quick question. Does anyone know if the Nautilus will import sequences (SNG) produced on the Kronos? Thank you!
Nice demo. I hear a lot about all those engines... I loved the sounds from the Triton like for example Dolphin ride etc... Can these engines pull this off?
GREETINGS...... Peter here. Thx for a vivid review of the Nautilus. My humble question is..... Will the sound cut when you enter Global Mode for a KEY TRANSPOSE. Or is there a dedicated button for Transpose.
Hi, Peter! Thanks for your interest. Since there isn't a dedicated transpose button on the Nautilus, you would have to enter the Global menu in order to access the Key Transpose feature. One potential workaround for this would be to create a preset Program or Combination that is already transposed ahead of time. For more details, you can see Korg's complete user manual for the Nautilus at this link:

Did you edit or eq the piano sound or is it out of the box like that?
Can the packs from Korg Modules be loaded into this?
Hello - great question! The sounds from the Korg Modules app cannot be loaded onto the Nautilus unfortunately.
Thanks!

Over 5 months since all these Nautilus videos appeared and still in Pre-Order, kind of lost my enthusiasm for this purchase.
Great presenter. Wonderful instrument.
In a daw get Endless a efx plugin and add that to a piano from nautilus is huge reverb , rize the piano to another level and experience.
Would the Korg nanoKONTROL Studio and the Korg PadKontrol work with the Nautilus? At the same time with a USB Hub?
Hello! The Korg NanoKontrol Studio will unfortunately not work with the Nautilus because it's exclusively a USB MIDI device which must be plugged into a computer. The older PadKontrol device does have a 5 pin MIDI jack on it, which can be plugged into the Nautilus to trigger sounds or control patches within the keyboard.

@@sweetwater The nautilus has a USB slot specifically for control surfaces and the Korg padkontrol and studio are mentioned by name on the nautilus site. It can also accept USB hubs and even qwerty keyboards through USB.
@@MikeFelkerVideos My mistake, you are correct! I didn't find anything in the manual about that but once I checked Korg's site, it does specifically mention that class compliant USB control surfaces can work with the Nautilus:

@@sweetwater That's what I thought. Now if we can just replace the 60gb SSD with a 2TB SSD!!! Do you think they will make the OS available to be able to do that?
Is it a replacement for Kronos or Krome ?
I’m thinking Krome. This isn’t meant to replace Kronos I think. Maybe something else
Probably. I litteraly has almost exactly the same panel.
It’s definitely the Krome the 73 keys version gave it away. It goes from C to C just like the krome instead of from E to E in the case of the Kronos.
Is it possible to play very fast note repetitions? I really like the sounds quality.
Hello! The key action on these Korg Nautilus keyboards feels great, and it is certainly possible to play very fast note repetitions if you work on your finger dexterity.

There's something wrong with the sound of the video, I can't believe the keyboard sounds this bad.
It honestly went downhill the moment he turned reverb on the piano, it was decent just dry but the samples in my Electro 6 will walk circles around the Nautilus.
@@NOLASkaGuitarist I take your point, and maybe the Electro 6 has better sounds. I still find it hard to believe that Korg would put out such a terrible sounding machine. There's more to this story than meets the ear.
Saw elsewhere someone said the video from about 8 minutes on is in mono which may explain a bit but still even in the beginning with the piano I wasn't impressed. Maybe bad audio post production too
@@NOLASkaGuitarist Yes the reverb sounds more like a warble, and the video is in mono for a good part.
Yes, most of the demo is in mono. I've heard this before with Sweetwater demos. Don't understand it.
Just seeing you videos because your piano skills. Outstanding
Need this!!
But engines should be pretty powerful 👍🏻..
Even that sound to next sound transformation with no drop or cut is absolutely...👍🏻👍🏻
Is there sounds similar to Rhodes on it?
Yea
Well done sir 👌
How do you fade in and out sounds if there are no sliders?
Hello! There are a few different ways to control the volume of different sounds inside of the Nautilus: you can assign an expression pedal to them, or you can manually ride their volume changes using the main jog wheel to the right of the screen, both of which will affect the volume of a certain channel within the sequencer.

Comes down to the intended goal.
To make an independant film--digital keyboard like this KORG or hybrid.
You have a band that needs electronic sounds--KORG.
There's no point in buying an acoustic piano unless that is exactly what some one is looking for in the home. You can't put an acoustic piano into "silent mode" to those around you. Best they can do is muffle the sound. Which few people want. Vs a full colume (controllable) simulation. or the sound from the real thing.
Get the Korg SV2 for this price. It sounds way better and not so cheesy.
does it have to use external speaker?
Hi, Jack! Thanks for the interest. Like most pro-level workstation keyboards, the Nautilus does not have a built-in sound system - so you would have to connect it to speakers, an amp, or headphones. Feel free to contact me directly with further questions, and thanks again!

You are talented and you know Korg. Thanks. Do you have a TH-cam channel?
What stand do you recommend for the 88?
Hey Benjamin, thanks for reaching out! Honestly, the best stand for you will depend on the context in which you’re using it. I would have different recommendations for you depending on whether you are out gigging or not, if it’s going to be mostly stationary or if you need something that can be easily moved around or stored away, whether you stand or sit or both when playing, and so on. It’s a really nice workstation so I’m sure you will want a nice stand for it either way, but the best form for you could vary. You are welcome to reach out to me directly if I can help with any of this!

pianos sound great not veiled like the modx, but the modx does have its strengths. as do all these manufacturers apples and oranges.
Looks and sounds cool : )
Does this new 2020 Korg have the same 2 minutes plus boot up time as their 2011 model? If so, then I'll pass and stick with a Kurzweil that boots up in a fraction of the time!
You would pass because you cant wait 2 minutes lol... crazy
@@Echochamber79 that's pretty legit. 2 mins is a long time in this day and age. You want to know how long eCommerce sites need to ensure responses occur (ie: page loads) to not lose a customer? 2 seconds.
