I bought one 2 years ago, and it's amazing i added some samples sounds from other keyboards and i love my Korg Nautilus one thing im bug is the no Aftertouch but korg came out with the Aftertouch version. Love my Nautilus
Congratulations on getting Korg to send you a unit. That's a big deal and you have earned the recognition ten fold.
Send for free, but expecting it to be returned.
Yamaha gave him it's competitor, the MODX.
We can see what company is more serious about marketing their synth.
actually, I offered to return it. I regularly get new synths in, and some have to go to make room. I don't have time to play them all. and it doesn't feel right to sell gear that's been donated. i'm making videos anyway, so it's great to feature new synths without me having to buy them. it's basically free rental and everyone wins, me, the brands and the audience. perhaps when korg release something new, then I'll trade up!
Wish Korg would donate to me😂😂
Had to sell a kidney to buy my Oasys and Karma but worth it 😀👍
I’m not sure about Nautilus, look very bland to me, repackaged i3 with Oasys lettering and no karma?? Hmm 🤔
Anyways, hope u enjoy.
Well done woody 👍
@@WoodyPianoShack I'll gladly take whatever you don't want or have room for, seriously tho, I'll never get rid of another keyboard again. I have a few and I'll never part with any of them. The Nautilus is next on my list !!!! Thanks for the video !!!
Great overview. My first synth was the classic M1. The Nautilus is the M1 of the 21st century and is a joy to play!
To be honest ive use a M1 before and the M1 kills the Nautilus in sound quality and the fact that it has Aftertouch. I love my Nautilus but vintage keyboard like the M1 01w roland D50 Yamaha Dx7 the korg N264/364 and many other vintage keyboard are way better in sound quality. You know what they say the quality of the vintage keyboard sound better then most modern keyboards.
Really beautiful demonstrations of the piano sounds. It is great that Korg gave this keyboard to a musician.
haha, i'm a good bluffer on the key :D seriously, thanks, means a lot.
Very exciting! Had no idea this was coming. Good job Woody!
well done mate!!! love your demo!
hi there pal! looking forward to seeing what you can do with yours :)
It's that guy from the other channel! Love you both.
Nice job on your Nautilus video too Doctor Mix.
Have you tried to load Kronos sounds into your Nautilus yet? 😄
Boss
Amazing synth and amazing performer! Thank you Woody
Every sound coming from this thing is outstanding!
a good review, Woody... i always love to see your reactions while playing.
Hi Woody,
Excellent job on the review. The smooth sound transition is definitely on the Kronos as well and a great feature at that. I love to be able to change sounds on the fly while sustaining the strings and the switch to a lead sound without a dropout! Glad to see the Nautilus keeps this great feature.
I’m shopping and I appreciate your demo and review. Thx!
Thank's Woody for the interesting presentation, keep it up :)
Thank you, Korg, for taking care of our boy, Woody! We trust and enjoy his reviews. I've bought more than one product based on his demos. So, Woody, Woodster, Big WooWoo!! Great review. Looks like quite the exciting board. I could tell you were really enjoying yourself playing it. Looking forward to more on this tech! Cheers, Cliff
thanks for watching and the endorsement cliff :)
Cool, I knew Woody would test drive the new Korg Nautilus! Brilliant!
Finally good news in the year 2020. I was looking at the Korg Krome, though preferred the Kronos 2. Finances holding us back. Now this Nautilus has appeared, so decisions to be made. Good video, many thanks.
great stuff. thanks Woody
I have never seen a well informative review like this. You have covered each and every aspect that everyone searches about before buying new keyboard.. Thank you
very nice feedback, motivating, thanks!
Thx for sharing your vid. What a nice synth. 👏
Wow I like the background music especially at the end. And the piano version of Computer Love is also nicely done!
This is a nice surprise by Korg. I realy like the fresh new design and it also seems to have the build quality that Korg is known for. Most importantly, I liked almost everything I heard and I would choose a good arpeggiator over Karma anytime. But that is personal obviously. The best surprise was to learn about this interesting new instrument on my favourite keyboard channel. I look forward to you future videos on the Nautilus. Thank you Woody!
happy to read that, thank you!
build quality = plastic? Are u from another planet, m8? behringer build with more quality for halfprized gear and korg build toyware at this time, sorry. wavestate = plastic, opsix = plastic, natilus = plastic, etc.
@@iosyn5896 Listen to Woody’s report on the build quality and the materials used. The top panel is aluminium and the whole curved bottom section is a thick sheet of solid aluminium. I had two Korg arrangers and they were build like a tank, much like the Triton was. I know the Kronos is also a solid piece of gear.
Great demo Woody
Enjoy your Korg Nautilus! Very nice video.
Thank you for this video!
Thanks for the breakdown
Brilliant demo Woody. Love your enthusiasm and the way you light up when you hear cool sounds from the Synth. Keep up the good work!
Nice demonstration Woody
Yet another great video.
Its touch screen is from 80s and called resistive touch screen ......they should have installed state of the art screen when they were thinking of less button controls.......
Agreed
Screw those blind keyboard players. Touchscreen everything!
Exactly !!! It's a Cheap Screen ... But not a Cheap workstation !
@SunTai
Not just their touch screens. I still can't believe how flimsy the key bed on the Krome is, not to mention the poor reverb & chorus fx😡
@@jermainelong1843 This action is different than Krome. It’s “Natural Touch” same as the Nanokey AIR action
Ohh hell yess to the prepared pianos 😍😍😍😍
Sounds Excellent!!!

piano sound is very Natural and beautyful.Acoustic grand sample sound playing again long time.
Love your review! I’ve been a fan of Korg for a long time. They are simply remarkable sounding keyboards. I’ve been looking for a Kronos but they are out of my price range. This is even better and more affordable. Thanks again!
thank you for the comment!
Great presentation thanks :)
I’m from America woody and I always like your review
You my friend are a breath of fresh air. Just saw this vid for first time and as from today im saving up to buy one of these, they sound great, at the moment a 61 key version over here in the uk is £1500. I cant wait !!!!
that seems like a pretty good deal to me, good choice!
@@WoodyPianoShack Thank you, may i ask if you could recommend some speakers im gonna need for it not too expensive.
It sounds good but to enough to sell any of my Kronos, looking forward to seeing more of your demos
Nice surprise. A true workstation with PCM/AN/FM/EFX, Sampling/MIDI sequencing and Audio recording all in one unit for ~$2000. Waiting for a wave sequencing demo.
Superb !
Great stuff
Thanks for the demo 👍 How to sample voice from an external microphone ? Only stero input on the back side ? Thanks
Love the piano samples.
I'm guessing the Nautilus would receive and process channel D so aftertouch from a lower 88 weighted keyboard controller could change filters and such.
If I were using this on gigs I would definitely be pushing in those knobs during transport.
To be honest ive use a M1 before and the M1 kills the Nautilus in sound quality and the fact that it has Aftertouch. I love my Nautilus but vintage keyboard like the M1 01w roland D50 Yamaha Dx7 the korg N264/364 and many other vintage keyboard are way better in sound quality. You know what they say the quality of the vintage keyboard sound better then most modern keyboards not to offend anyone. Love your videos keep up the good work woody.
Amazing keyboard
I must buy 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
You are the Uncle i never had👍
Pleased for you Woody and well deserved mate 👍🏼
appreciate that, thank jay!
I am impressed. It is my intention to upgrade next year- got a pc to buy first and I am not exactly rich- and the high end workstations are what I am looking at saving for. This is a welcome addition, especially as it's a bit less saving. I can't swear that this is what I would go for, but it certainly appeals.
Looking online I see the two bigger keybeds are better quality, but I imagine the price reflects that.
Very much looking forward to more on this. Those Acoustic Pianos sound lush!
the acoustics sound amazing, like you're in the room with the piano. i'm sure the 61 and 73 have exact same keys.
Good call. I understand not everyone can afford the best with after touch etc. So this is perfect for the budget.
It is always good that those side panels (around pitch/mod stick) are plastic, when resting your hands there, it doesn't feel cold like the aluminum does ;) ... Amazing video!
That DX7 sound 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interesting new sounds.
2 days ago it was just a leak and now you have it, I'm amazed!
i can't quite believe it either :)
@@WoodyPianoShack well deserved, I really appreciate what are you doing! ✌️
I am looking for a brand new condition M1, or T3, or T2. Are they going to reissue? I've been lucky enough to acquire a MINT, serviced, 01/W Pro, and I am looking to upgrade to a higher quality Korg synthesizer, which is the M- and T-series, of course.
Big workstation in a compact format! Is a goal for korg that win the match
Love the computerwelt piece
Hello Woody from Macedonia, I would like to ask is it poissible to connect tripple pedal Korg PU-2 on Nautilus 88?
What may I ask is the brand & model of external speaker monitor are you using or would you use for addressing a larger audience? I take it you are using "built-in speakers" in this video?
Thanks.
Thanks for your review of the Korg Nautilus. I really appreciated everything you covered. If one was wanting to have the sounds of a Korg M1 available, do you feel this keyboard includes those sounds to some degree? Thanks!
yes it has some recreations of m1 sounds, but a good and cheap alternative is the korg m1 vst synth, which is identical and often $25 on sale
Excellent review. I still regret selling my Korg DS8 long ago, it had aftertouch and a beautiful jazz guitar/acoustic bass sound that was inspirational. Too bad the Nautilus lacks aftertouch, but I was impressed by the acoustic bass/ride cymbal/piano patch you demonstrated, so I might just consider the Nautilus after all (the 88 key version)... thanks for your comments regarding low keybed noise.
Nice work Woody! First glance it looks like the same shape and layout as the Yamaha Genos inc the touchscreen...Looking forward to Korg releasing th PA5x (if thats what it is called) as I can imagine a similar chassis!
I want one of these.. badly!
Amazing synth...and tube
Man I thought I subscribed to your channel after watching the Triton video, which was amazing btw, but I apparently I didn't🤦♂️🤦♂️ Don't worry my friend I won't forget to sub this time!! Your videos are amazing and your piano playing is quite amazing as well!! You explain things very well😎😎 I am a very proud fan of Korg who has owned the Korg Trinity followed by every single Triton 61, 76 and 88 key and then the Triton Studio for years, and now I've owned the Kronos X 73 key for about 7 years but haven't updated the software which needs to be done. I don't know if you take requests buuuut if you or your buddy who owns that Kronos ever wanted to do a software update video it would most definitely be very very appreciated, and if not it's alright I'll still be here watching. Much respect to you and keep the videos coming🙏🙏🙏
I bought KromeEx couple of months ago, what I like about the Krome is the piano-roll, I think this one doesn't have it unfortunately. The drums, piano etc sounds like Krome in my opinion, or does Nautilus is supposed to sound as Kronos?
Will patches made for the Kronos work with this since they’re made with the same engines?
Olá, i'm from to Brazil ! Are the keys the same as on Krome 61?
Super video. Merci bien. But are there some new and fresh KORG sounds ?
yes! there are loads of new samples and programs onboard
Also Woody the purpose of the parameter knobs that push in, is not only so you can't accidentally turn them while they are pressed in. It's also used for transportation reasons, so that you don't damage it in transit while they are pressed in.
the schumann took me way back wow!
Was ready to buy at this weekend still not sure if I'm getting the 61 of the 73 someone please tell me what's the best decision to make. It's only $400 difference. Give me some advice guys thanks.
Never enjoyed on this so much, I want to cry 😂😃🥰
gosh, don't cry!
Hello!What is the name of the song that you play in the start of the video?
awesome to see a demo so soon! am interested in the sampling and sequencing/recording features, keybed better than krome? :)
kross & krome have same keybed i think, this is noticeably more playable, but still not as nice as the flagships. haven't compared to kronos 61 it should be said.
How can one have a combi-based expression or modulation foot pedal depending on the combi?
Does anyone know how to edit note lengths in Nautilus, I wish the Nautilus had a Piano Roll where we can edit notes in several ways: Length, key, velocity etc.
Nice! I have the 88 key Korg Kross (1) laying against the wall here, hardly used because of the insane menu diving. But this looks cool. Loved the Jeff Lorber tune btw.
yes, not sure if my kross 61 will be getting much attention in coming months... :(
This is dangerous, Woody. Last time you did this with the MODX I went away and bought one!
Just be broke and it's not a problem
i bet you can still make some great music with your modx! you'll be fine :)
This is a great review, as always¡¡¡ It calls my attention that many people prefer a keyboard over another just for the piano sounds. Come on¡¡¡ if you own a kronos or this keyboard, you know you can edit the sounds the way you want. Nine engines, a powerful sequencer, karma, 12 insert effects, you can combine up to 16 sounds, wave sequence¡¡¡¡¡ I tell you this, there is no other workstation tha can do so much as Kronos and in second place, this new keyboard, nor modex, nor Roland fantom or nord stage, period. If what you want is a piano that sounds well, buy a stainway.
Really dig your channel.
I appreciate that!
Hi! Since I have been born blind I was wondering if you know if there’s gonna be a computer application or iPhone application to handle the settings in the nautilus? Touchscreen with no screen reader is nothing for me to use apparently. That won’t work. Maybe I could learn the buttons on the menus but that depends on. The sounds are brilliant and I really would love to hear more about them.
this concerns me greatly, the trend towards reliance on touch screen interfaces is leading to inaccessible instruments for hard of sighted musicians, I struggle myself when the fonts are small.
looks cheap and simple but sounds good... any news about new korg arranger ? perhaps pa5
That’s a cool synth! This could well be a serious competitor to the MODX. Like the design of it, reminds me of the M1 but then for the 2020’s. The pop out buttons are a nice touch. Interresting that it has a midi-through port, you don’t see that very often anymore. The Piano sounds are a nice and dynamic sounding. I wonder if the Nautilus supports USB controllers, appearantly the Kronos does.
The modx sucks. Feels like shit. Looks like shit.
I am trying to decide which is better to buy ? Modx or Nautilus?
Woody you're one of the most entertaining reviewer I've ever seen: while you play a keyboard your face is better than any other star-based evaluation system :-D .. this Nautilus deserve more in dept research... at first sight it remember me a lot of my Krome (yes Krome has less synth engines) but these specific Korg choices (less Knobs, less display, less button, ....) feel like a deja-vù!. I own also a Yamaha Modx7 that make me feel like a baby in a toycenter every time a dig into the enormous options offered by that Yamaha synth-beast... A comparison in my opinion is not needed... too much distance between this 2 machines.. and I'm very pleased that Korg did not choose to develope an anti-Modx clone or similar... Korg and Yamaha are always on my hearth (and on my setup), each for their specific distinctive strength points. Keep going well with these reviews Woody. Many thanks! :)
thanks for the awesome comment luca! it's a huge step up from the krome i think, in build quality, keys, sounds & features. although the krome does have much more proper buttons :) you carry on enjoying your modx, you're right, there is so much to explore there too!
This is a great review, as always¡¡¡ It calls my attention that many people prefer a keyboard over another just for the piano sounds. Come on¡¡¡ if you own a kronos or this keyboard, you know you can edit the sounds the way you want.

Been watching your channel for a few years but the production quality of the vids has massively increased in the last months, really great. And congrats on getting this launch day vid out.
oh, appreciate that feedback. been putting some money into the production equipment and upping my game.
A dream machine.
Unfortunately I will never be able to own one...........but I can dream.😁
oh don't say that! i never thought i'd own a D50, but many years later...
Does the Nautilus also take over 2 minutes to boot up like the Kronos does?
the USB A can also be used for another MIDI controller like Korg nanoKontrol2 to control programs with faders, or another keyboard.
Also, where are the Farfisa/Vox engines
Great review I must say! Then again I'm reliefed that It wasn't "Kronos 3" that I have to sell my car to have it. For now I'm happy with my Kronos 2!
Awesome vid thanks! I seem to only noodle these days rather than construct complete tracks and I'm sorely tempted to get one of these. Despite a room full of synths. We shall see. Thanks again though, very helpful vid. Hugs from Bournemouth! 😁 ♥ 🎶 🎹
good luck with whatever you go with, don't overlook modx and fantom-0 series in similar price range!
Thx Woody!
You can't believe the relief we feel when that background racket stops at 8:31. What was the purpose of that pandemonium in the rear anyway?
Hi, could I use the nautilus as an arranger? or it be better suited een de Pa700 or PA1000? Wich one will be a better option as arranger?
No you can't it is not an arranger keyboard it's a Workstation but if you want to use sequence then yes go for the Nautilus but if you want to switch chords and use one rhythm for multiple song go for any Pa series Keyboard that can read Samples sounds and rhythm
Hi Woody, many thanks for this very informative Video, the nautilus seems to be a very cool synth, you sayd "more affordable", how about the price?
about 30% less than kronos is the mission of this thing.
Which should you choose between this KORG and New Roland Fantom?
So this a strip down from the Kronos with some added features just as how the MODX is a strip down from the Montage?
Somewhat. The MODX is exceptionally crippled whereas the Nautilus isn’t. MODX doesn’t let you do smooth sound transitions unless you keep your multi voice count to 3. And polyphony is ridiculously limited - I couldn’t layer a piano, organ and pad without severe voice stealing happening and that made it useless to me for live performance. Nautilus removes Karma and a bunch of physical controllers but replaces them with touchscreen controls. That’s it.
How is the Key bed feel ??. Is it Sturdy like the kronos 61 or very light as krome 61,Modx 61..
This is my one reserve. Looking at kronos synth action it looks much more premium . the nautilus black keys look a tad stumpy . hmmmmm. At this point its new samples vs a better keybed, more controlls, and a big screen
Du spielst super❤
Nice presentation Woody. If it had aftertouch I would probably go for one but a little pricey without. Surprised Korg are still sticking with Combi and Program Modes when Roland and Yamaha of gone down the Performance route.
hi kevan, i'm grateful for this, the "everything is a performance" does my head in, especially when combining multi-performance performances into a multi-timbral performance, your head is surely hurting too now :)
@@WoodyPianoShack Just to let you know that on the back of this video I considered getting a Nautilus but found a brand new Kronos 61 for the same price. Just in the process of creating some similar performances from my MODX into Combis. It seems more time consuming to bring the insert effects across from program mode to combi mode, but it can be done. Really looking forward to getting to grips with Kronos though.😊
Thank you so much for this review !
Your videos are over the top !
I never had a Workstation and I would like to buy one of these. According to you, what's the best alternative between the brand new Nautilus and an used Kronos for the same price in 2022 ?
Also, the smoothness of the Kronos touch screen seems to me to be better than the Nautilus. On the Nautilus it seems to be a little bit lagging. Is this an impression or a reality?
Best regards
thank you, you see right, the screen is very laggy at times, the CPU trying to keep up! don't have much experience of kronos to know if it's the same issue, but the screen is bigger, which is very important. don't forget to checkout fantom and fantom-0 before making decision.
@@WoodyPianoShack
You confirm what I thought. It doesn't make sense. Why remove all the controls from the Kronos if it's going to be an unpleasant touch screen to use...
And yes, the Kronos screen is bigger and it also seems to work better, maybe not the same CPU? We'd need feedback from people who own both.
Finally, thanks for the advice, the Roland Fantom is exceptional, it clearly has the best sequencer, as well as being very easy to use. But I don't like the Roland sounds... I much prefer Korg on this point.
Nice video! Wondering if you'll ever try Mainstage 3 one day?!
is that just a mac thing?
Considering how the Montage edges the Kronos when it comes to authentic-sounding guitar sounds of all types, here’s hoping those have been addressed in what looks to be a significant voices update. 🤞🏾 🤞🏾
Sadly I don't think that Korg has significantly improved the quality of its lacklustre acoustic and electric guitar programs which aren't really much improved from those in my 1995 Trinity! Their PA series arrangers have phenomenal guitar programs so Korg obviously have the ability to improve these sounds but choose not to for some strange reason! Perhaps they're frightened that sales of their PA strangers would be affected, who knows?
Does the Nautilus also take over 2 minutes to boot up like the Kronos does?
Does the Nautilus' built in sequencer have a piano roll editor like in the M3 and Krome that was sadly lacking in both the Oasys and Kronos sequencers? Are the factory guitar programs (both acoustic and electric) a big step forward from the average mid to late 90s rompler type sounds in the Kronos factory sounds? Both Roland and Yamaha have left Korg for dead when it comes to decent keyboard based guitar sounds IMHO. What a pity that there's no aftertouch, but I can see this being a huge seller for Korg if the price is right.
