With the power of nine engines to drive a new approach to sounds, plentiful sampling, audio recording, effects, and processing power, there is simply no other synth that delivers more to explore sonically, with the workflow to get you there faster than ever. Korg spent years refining all our digital, analog, processing, and hardware technologies and delivering them in a way that helps the musician connect with their instrument. The result is the incredibly powerful, one-of-a-kind NAUTILUS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block type-e cv_black pad_t80\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"side-margin\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box_type_e\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"header2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca name=\"1\"\u003eNine different sound engines offer massive expressive power\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAUTILUS features nine dedicated sound engines to realistically reproduce sounds such as pianos, electric pianos, organs and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block type-s cv_black pad_b80\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"side-margin\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container_s\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo start, the enhanced SGX-2 piano sound generator offers delicate expressiveness to capture all the nuances of the acoustic piano, and NAUTILUS features the most piano libraries ever put into one product; with 12-step velocity-switched sound, string resonance and more. The EP-1 electric piano sound generator realistically reproduces seven different famous electric piano sounds. The CX-3 engine – the heart of our sought-after CX-3 reissue -covers the distinct sound of classic tonewheel organs. Add to that MOD-7 VPM\/FM synthesis, the PolysixEX and MS-20EX for analog modeling, and the STR-1 for physical modeling, and you have essentially an engine for any type of sound you’re looking to get. Used together in Program or Combination mode, these distinctive engines create completely new timbres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block type-e cv_black pad_b80\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"side-margin\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box_type_e\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"header2\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"2\"\u003eNew sounds offered over three broad categories\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe approach to the included sound on NAUTILUS, started with Korg setting aside our preconceptions of what sound should be like on a conventional music workstation, and instead focused on pushing the boundaries of sampling and programming to create a brand-new classifications of programs that we divide into three groups:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“Unique” sounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe NAUTILUS brings you distinctive sounds including phrase loops, prepared pianos, found percussion and more. Many seldom heard-of musical instruments found in different regions around the world can be difficult to play, but distinctive phrases played on these instruments are featured on the NAUTILUS. Use these phrases as-is in your songs—let your imagination be your guide. The NAUTILUS features sounds that were sampled for the first time just for this instrument, including prepared piano sounds created by placing different objects between piano strings and recording samples, or “found percussion” sounds made by turning ordinary items into instruments to be struck. Not only do these novel and mysterious sounds provide an unexpected flavor to your songs, they offer broad possibilities for sound effects used in film and TV music as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“Current” sounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe NAUTILUS also offers the freshest sounds that blend in well with today's music scene, including synths, drum kits, special effects and more. For synths, be sure to check out the EDM, electro and chiptune sounds for starters. Also, the NAUTILUS features more than 50 kinds of drum kits—sounds that most strongly reflect the changes in music over time. The special effect sounds offer useful material like drums added to dance music to create beats—sounds that you can put to use right away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard sounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe’ve brought together all of the most important sounds a workstation needs including piano, electric piano, guitar, bass guitar and more, covering all genres. For the newly sampled piano sound, we’ve also recorded the lovely sonic ambience of the studio, and you can mix the piano and ambience sound as you like with the new ambience sound. A new electric piano model with a characteristic thick sound has been added, which works great for funky playing styles. We’ve also added many phrases that let you play back actual performances of guitar and bass parts that keyboardists will find useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block type-e cv_black pad_t80 pad_b80\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"side-margin\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box_type_e\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"header2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca name=\"3\"\u003eThe DYNAMICS knob makes delicate expression possible\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the DYNAMICS knob, you can instantly control the changes in volume and tone in response to how hard you play the keyboard (velocity); and you can customize this knob in real time to match the keyboard playing feel required for each style and song. Even when playing the same sound, you can turn this knob to get the feeling of playing a completely different sound.

This allows for delicate, expressive playing when accompanying a piano solo or vocals, which directly reflects the dynamics of your performance. On the other hand, turning the knob to the right gives a stronger, more flat dynamic response. This brings out the sound when you’re playing in a band or ensemble, which works best when performing with a more even feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block type-e cv_black pad_b80\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"side-margin\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box_type_e\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"header2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca name=\"4\"\u003eMake intuitive changes to sounds with the Realtime knobs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe six RT (real-time) knobs at the top left of the panel give you direct control over changes to the PROG and COMBI sounds.

In COMBI mode, you can group timbres and control their levels with the knobs. Further, you can press these knobs into the panel to lock them in place, preventing them from being accidentally changed while you’re playing.
