Korg Nautilis/Kronos: Polyphony Matters - Get your voices back!!! 

This system for helping with polyphony has been around for a long time on roland keyboards. The roland XP and JV series had a process called note reserve.

Hi there, great video. I love your advice on saving polyphony by defining the split zones per program such as the bell being exclusively in the higher regions instead of being active all over the keyboard. This is a method I use to maximize the polyphony of my custom combinations. I remember being able to set the EDS-X sound engine on my Krome to drop the oldest notes first. I love that feature. It's so innovative. I'll dig into the Nautilus sound engine over the next few days and check how much more I can optimize it.

Thanks! That’s one big mixer.

Thank you!!!! I bought this board because of your videos. Could you do a video showing how to turn off the Y+ modulation. I’m having issues, while I’m working out of combi and I have my synths stacked over a piano, the piano is “moving” just like the synths. Thanks for ANY help! All the best.

I was playing with sounds the other night seeing how my keyboard responded to polyphony. I need to dig in more but I was doing the splitting, only using certain ranges for certain sounds, and also trying this with panning of sounds. I want to check it out more but in some ways it felt as if I could maintain the full sound and get the benefit more adding more sound. 128 note polyphony seems to really only do good with 2-3 sounds unless you start doing what you are describing. I would assume 256 polyphony probably would be good for 3-6. Lately I have been constantly going back a forth as to whether I need to just go all in on software synths and a computer with midi controller or cheap portable workstation.

I have the Nauti 73. My biggest gripe with the synth is the low res screen. In the poly six engine for example the text is really blurry. I wish there was a way to extract or use an external device/screen via usb. This is possible with the MODX and montage. With those you can route the display out on to an external larger touchscreen. Also it would be nice to map the nanokontrol 2 to the on screen knobs and buttons and see the corresponding animation/rotation on screen. I know that you can map the nano to cc’s but the values sadly don’t save when writing a program for example. But keep up the great job you’re doing. All the best.

I had sound cut off on a simple interval. Swapped out my Nautilus, to a new one.
