Korg Nautilus 73-Note Workstation
Product no: 9000-0071-3463 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

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, royale 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 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 73-Note Keyboard

This 73-note-strong model is fitted with the popular synth keyboard that provides a light action from C to C, and to finish the already complete package, software like Izotope Ozone Elements, Skoove, Reason Lite, and plenty of Korg-developed software synths have been included.

Wrote the following about Korg Nautilus 73-Note Workstation

B-Stock Nautilus online aangeschaft. Als ongeduldige muzikant wel 5 dagen moeten wachten vanwege een transportprobleem bij DHL maar dat mag de pret niet drukken als dit muzikale monster dan eindelijk in je thuisstudio staat.

Over het apparaat zelf valt vast heel veel te vertellen, maar het voelt als thuiskomen. Sinds de M1 al fan van de workstations van Korg en ook deze is weer een machine om zowel live als in de studio geweldige sounds neer te kunnen leggen. Nu snel verder ontdekken wat deze alleskunner in zijn mars heeft.

Het product afgehaald bij de Bax-Shop winkel in Goes. Thuis aangekomen direct begonnen met het uitpakken van de grote stevige doos. De synthesizer zelf zit goed verpakt tussen twee flinke brokken tempex en omwikkeld in een beschermingsjasje. In de doos is verder nog te vinden: een apparaat-snoer (C13), instructieboekjes en vouchers waarmee diverse pakketten software kan worden gedownload van de Korg Website.

De Synthesizer maakt direct een goede indruk en voelt solide aan. Een mooie, zwarte aluminium behuizing onderstreept de stevigheid nogmaals.
Het geheel aan de bovenkant ziet er vrij minimalistisch uit (wat ik zelf wat prettig vind). Aan de linkerkant de joystick met twee knopjes die programmeerbaar zijn. In het midden het duidelijk afleesbare touch LCD scherm. De belangrijkste geluidsparameters kunnen worden veranderd met kleine draaiknopjes welke in- en uitgedrukt kunnen worden. (tijdens vervoer kan dit handig zijn ter bescherming). Tevens kunnen er aan de draaikopjes verschillende functies worden toekend door de select button waarbij je schakelt tussen sound, arp en user.

De klanken van het apparaat zijn werkelijk fantastisch en klinken ontzettend goed. Het oneindig kunnen veranderen van geluidsinstellingen maakt dat je niet uitgekeken raakt op dit prachtige apparaat. De SGX-2 engine tovert fantastisch mooie piano sounds uit het apparaat, de EP-1 engine voor elektrische pianosounds, de CX-3 tonewheel organ module is werkelijk een lust voor het oor. Zeer realistische organ sounds en fantastisch klinkende rotating sounds. Maar ook heel veel geluiden van "terug in de tijd" realistische synths (polysix, MS-20, AL1 en MOD7). Maar ook de STR-1 die plucked strings kan emuleren. Via de MODE knop is er eenvoudig te schakelen tussen de vele programs, vooringestelde combinaties, en de hele handige presets lists. Zo kun je heel erg eenvoudig je eigen settings voorprogrammeren en met 1 druk op de knop weer terug halen.

De open sampling functie is ontzettend handig en werkt enorm goed. Ook hiervan is de geluidskwaliteit subliem.

De sequencer is zeer uitgebreid maar heb ik nog niet geprobeerd. Hierover kan ik dus nog niets zinnigs melden.

Wat ook heel erg fijn is: de dynamics knop. Hiermee kun je de aanslaggevoeligheid instellen van de toetsen. Kan heel erg handig zijn bij het bespelen van bepaalde instrumenten.
Tot nu heb ik eigenlijk alleen maar positieve dingen te melden over dit mooie instrument.

Wat eventueel beter zou kunnen is de tijd van opstarten (ruim 3 minuten). Maar eerlijk gezegd kan me dat niet zo heel erg boeien. Als je dit weet, kun je er ook rekening mee houden.
En het apparaat heeft geen aftertouch. De aftertouch schijnt wel via MIDI te werken. Dus wellicht is het ooit mogelijk in een toekomstige software update.

The Korg Nautilus: Three Shiny New Workstations!

Tuesday 17 November 2020 By Kim | Bax Music

The Korg Kronos Series has been around for a while now and, according to some, still has yet to meet its successor. All of that might be set to change with the timely launch of the Nautilus: a fleet of three shiny new workstations!
