I just purchased the 88 key Nautilus about a month ago. I am blown away by this awesome keyboard. I have just merely been playing around with it and checking out the thousands of sounds. I am like you, I love the all of the electric pianos. I am also watching tons of videos on the Nautilus to get a little more familiar with it, by seeing you guys going through them. Thanks for your vids.
It's really where the Kronos/Nautilus shines. I know people gab over Nord and their E.Pianos but nothing imo beats the Kronos in the EP field. the EP-1 Engine is hands down the best E-Piano available. The Crumar modelled EP is on par but lacks the programability. You can actually adjust the Crumar in more detail, but the effects and the lack of custom presets makes the Korg win. If you use a lot of EP this is worth the whole price of the Kronos/Nautilus
well, i suppose the strength of the nords is e-pianos, combined with organ and hands-on front panel controls, although the CX3 sounds fantastic, performing on the touchscreen is a pain on the naut, better on the kronos I guess! good thing about rhodes is that you just select it and play!
Just purchased the Korg Nautilus 61 key and I must say...it is incredible. Also, its on sale. This is the best sounding keyboard I have ever used. This keyboard screams professional. Really loving the sounds. I had a krome 61 and wasn't the biggest fan. I sold it. The Nautilus blows away the krome. I also have a Roland FA 06 and really love the sound of that keyboard also, but the Nautilus sounds more full and professional.
Korg appeals to people a little ways short of the old people's home. Please don't compare it to Roland. Especially the FA. Which is on nigh every live stage in Japan. Unlike the Korgs - which are barely on any! And for good reason.
The first time I've heard of the Rhodes Dyno My Piano was keyboardist Russell Ferrante of the jazz group Yellowjackets. The first two albums they came out with in the early 80s had this instrument and I was always fascinated with the tone. I am glad to hear this sound replicated faithfully in the Korg Nautilus (which I'll be trading my Krome to get this one once it becomes available).
Appreciate the jazz standards! Crystal Silence does sound really beautiful on the Rhodes. Perhaps because it also reminds me of Gary Burton on Vibraphones. Also "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" has been pretty much my favorite song during the social distancing era. And I absolutely adore these EP-1 sounds. I own the original Korg Kronos, I sampled the Rhodes Mark V for my own use so I can leave my heavy Kronos at home, I run Mainstage live, and I just use some lighter midi controllers or whatever the venue has
My standard rig is two controllers, both running Ableton. My top layer has around 6-7 sounds stacked (acoustic bass, rhodes, 2 warm pads, and 2 moving sounds), while my lower keyboard is just a Rhodes by itself. My go-to Rhodes is always the Scarbee 200 using Native's Kontakt player (I've written 400-500 songs just based on that sound), with a hint of reverb and delay. I just like the sound of a natural Rhodes myself. I'm planning on buying the 77 key Nautilus next paycheck, but in all the video demos I've watched, the Nautilus EP sounds are SLATHERED in effects, making it impossible to tell what the actual Rhodes sounds sound like. Thanks again for always being my go to source for what is important in keyboards. 8).
These Rhodes are so tasty. Korg always makes quality Rhodes samples compared to Yamaha and Roland. The Yamaha Rhodes sound funny at least to my ears Woody, you were supposed to play Stevie Wonders "Sunshine of My Life at 10:40". Really happy with this video.
I think, there's been some leapfrogging in the Big Three rompler department. IMO, the Motif ES far outclassed the EP's from Roland Fantom or Korg Triton lines at the time. Korg pulled about even, with some different tones, on the M3, and Roland put out respectable competition with the Integra/FA. Then Kronos came through and crushed the buildings. With a handful of exceptions, Montage EP's sounded, and still do, IMO, like a toy relative to Kronos. Ditto Roland, though I haven't caught the Fantom SN EP expansion yet. Kronos still has superior tone, richness, "bounce" and "bite" to their rhodes and wurlitzer sounds. I had a Kronos when Keyscape came out. I listened to the Keyscape demos and all but laughed, because the Kronos remains a fair stretch ahead in that department. I now have a MODX and recently got Keyscape, which is fantastic, but that EP 1 is still a work of art.
@@lcceo22 I agree, the Kronos made me realise what I have been missing from a Rhodes library. The thing that makes it so good is that it shines without effects added and sparkles when effects are added, something that I struggle with on Yamaha. I am not brave enough to trust Roland with the SN EPs. Sure, they are a combination of modelling and samples but for me, they sound worse than the Yamaha Rhodes IMO. I think Yamaha tried to do something about it with the new CP series, the Rhodes sound much better. I think the idea of the Keyscape Rhodes was the top-notch Rhodes for the studio, pristine, super high quality ready for recording. For me, I love it, because I don't fiddle with it when it's game time. But when I need some more, I head to Scarbee. If only we had stacks of money to buy Nords for ourselves, then maybe our sounds lust would decrease.
Perfect! I was a bit critical of the Nautilus/MODX video, due to the emphasis on arps. But this is fantastic. It's exactly the sort of video I was asking for. Thank you!
In terms of workstation patches, I've always favoured Yamaha's electric pianos over Korg's and Roland's, though I have to say these are really good. I like the MDS velocity switching - it's pretty much impossible to hear any obviously audible velocity or pitch switching (or looping, for that matter) - and the various features like key off add even more to the authenticity of the emulation. And, when you apply the cabinet effects of drive, vibrato and EQ, I can almost smell the heat coming off the original! How do you feel it compares against the Nord? Some years ago, my gig rig consisted of a Yamaha Motif, Korg M3 and Nord Stage. In a warmup gig soundcheck, I played the Fender Rhodes piano patches on each one to our bass player (a younger guy, but big into his 70s sounds) and asked him which sounded best. He was reasonably impressed by the Yamaha and the Korg, but then the Nord was just like coming home - to my ears, as well, it just drips authenticity. The Nautilus is holding its own pretty well here though. And, having said all this, the various manufacturers do very well in getting the most out of their sounds with added effects etc. - something I'm actually pretty grateful for, having played around in the 70s with my uncle's Rhodes (and Pianet T!) and being pretty dissatisfied with the sound I was getting until I added some of his (fairly limited) external effects to try to get the sound I was hearing from the bands I was listening to at the time. Really liked this video - it is, as you say, unusual to get to hear the raw sounds without all the sweetness and icing. Some really nice playing too; it's clear to hear that you are very much at home with the Rhodes sound :-)
lovely comment, thanks, appreciate the final sentence, I haven't played one for years but listen to a lot of music... motif, modx, montage all have terrible rhodes imho, they really rely on heavy effects to fatten up the samples... but excellent expansions can be loaded onto the flash memory, so not an issue. nord is not detailed like the naut, I've not heard any key off samples on their rhodes. but I feel the selection of pianos they sampled have much more variety in their tone and characters.
@@WoodyPianoShack Yes, I think I'd tend to agree that my preference in the past for the Yamaha sounds was on the basis of the effects they'd placed on them (the old "Sweetness Piano" for example worked well on gigs!). Listening again to your video, yes, there does seem to be more detail in the Korg samples than perhaps the Nord. Have to go and try one out now :-)
The Nautilus sounds great. It has the kronos engine. I want to say that I have purchased a kronos just today. I cant wait till its delivered to me. I chose the kronos because of the sounds and extensive functionality including the karma. It has aftertouch so this helped me decide for a Kronos instead of a Nautilus.
Geeez there's more? Ha ha. Loved the very first Rhodes and your little groove. I woke up at 330am in Australia's heat wave and watched this vid. I've never owned or played Korg but I'm thinking of getting myself to a store to have a look when they come out. I'm still discovering things on my MODX. But again, good on you Woody for showing us that.
Love the sound, the body shape for the 61 and 73, not so much but the 88 is fine. Looking to upgrade from an X50 and looking at the MODX so it is between those two. Might go for the 88 Nautilus for my son who is classically trained and needs a good piano action
Excellent vid Woody ! How do you rate it next to the Nord in sound quality and keybed playability ?, excluding the work station Angle ?, The Korg sounds are really stunning
still prefer the hands-on controls of the electro, for tweaking organ, effects, selecting pianos. both sound very different but are great in their own ways. electro has the edge on organs and is more portable. nautilus does so much more....
The EP-1 engine does not use any samples at all, it is a physical model of tine and reed-style electric pianos, so the sound is rendered solely through mathematical models of the instruments. Hence the expressiveness and the multitude of parameters.
that's what I used to think but I guess reading up about it again, I think it's similar to Roland SuperNatural engine that it does have some sampled material but then they synthesize all the inbetweens
I can get a new Nautilus or a used Kronos 1. Does the Nautilus sounds better than Kronos 1, especially the cx-3 organ leslie sim? I played a Nautilus and was blown away by the tonewheel organ and leslie sim.
Thank You! I gave away my Rhodes 73 stage to my best friend in 1999.It had a great sound,but only ONE sound. It was cumbersome to take to gigs,and repairing broken tines (and cutting them to the proper length for each note) was a sincere pain in the rear end. The sample I heard here sounds EXACTLY like my old Rhodes. I've been using a Kurzweil ME-1(the Dyno patch) for my Rhodes sound (controlled by an Italian Studiologic SL 990XP) and you've finally given me a reason to replace my setup with the Korg Nautilus. I'm curious as to how you like the feel of the keyboard,and how many keys the model you used has. I prefer 73 or 88 keys.
always great to hear some feedback from a real rhodes guy, and cool that you found the sound to be identical! really interesting to read. i'm using the 61, although 73 and 88 is available. keyboard is pretty nice, works good for rhodes and organ.
Do you miss aftertouch in Nautilus? Would you consider that a compromise, regarding some great new sounds coming with the new workstation, which Kronos lacks, especially pianos, which for the first time, can be considered as, really premium, compared to what I consider as benchmark, aka Roland Fantom?
This doesn't answer your question and may not even be interesting to you, but I've never had a keyboard before and just got a Nautilus a month or two ago. I have never had after touch, so I certainly don't miss it! I really like Nautilus. I'm a software developer and can really get behind the several synth modelers in there. Super cool to be learning about frequency modulation synthesis and have that mod-7 (opsix) on board and ready to go!
it seems to me also that the F7 is the current leader in features and technology, after all it's 5 to 10 years newer than the competing flagships. i'm not a huge user of aftertouch, and sometimes dislike the feel of the AT keybeds, so not a big deal for me, however you could argue should have been included at the price.
quite possible yes, i'm considering it, thx for the request, although there are a ton of parameters, it's a really deep engine, and it's not much fun to edit stuff on the lcd tbh, plus I think time to feature some different instruments, interest from my viewers is waning :D got something very cool coming up that you will enjoy, i'm sure...
Not comparable! The Kronos is arguably more focused and complete! But I don't think the Yamaha EP's are awful like Woody thinks. They just have a different character altogether. Distinctly Yamaha (and perhaps less authentic) but a good sound in its own right. If you listened to any funk/fusion/aor made between 2002 and 2010, you've probably heard motif rhodes (which are all in the modx/montage) and you probably didn't complain about it. Best Rhodes I've heard come from the Yamaha CP1/CP5 which uses a completely different technology called "Spectral Component Modeling" that utilizes spectral data gathered from samples together with modeling parameters and virtual circuitry modeled effects.

probably, the sample sets are much larger, but I feel more variation between pianos on the nord.
Expecting a Guitar video
DMP - The Dyno My Piano mod from the 1970's.
Can you do accustic and dist guitar sound libraries?
thx, for the suggestion, not as its own video since it's an uninteresting category for me, but I'll throw in a guitar if I remember in my next vid!
@@WoodyPianoShack ❤️😀
Has it got a good Yamaha CP70/80 sound in there??
i guess, but haven't stumbled across it yet... certainly not in the EP-1 model, which would have been great.
They did a way way better job on the rhodes piano’s than the actual pianos on the nautilus.
I think nord wins the acoustic piano battle
No Moanin from me!
I had better luck with these EPs using a guitar amp IFX instead of the embedded amp sim.

If the Wurlys can't be played without tremelo I'd consider that a fail.
you can throw trem on thses, no worries.
@@WoodyPianoShack you said in the video that it seemed to be baked in - can you turn OFF the tremelo?
@@gregsullivan7408 Aha ok, i see your point. i'm sure there are samples without trem as well, but not able to check right now
Is KORG.. yes.... Because KRONOS is KRONOS... perdón....
