Korg NAUTILUS - All Playing, No Talking Sound Demo 

There´s a step further; no playing and no talking just pictures

Watch them put on a demonstrator with explanations next time. So I can laugh at you and your complaints then.

Definitely appeals to a player more than someone who is only interested

Yeah but the demo sucks😂

​@@robertmichalscheck3072 we'd all love to see you do it! :)

Oh wow, Nautilus was just coming out or just about to come out at that time.

Korg NAUTILUS

Thank you very much! Appreciate the feedback!

Lol your comment gave me the good chills while hearing the movie sample.

I agree. After watching this I am considering trading my Yamaha Cp88 for this.

They are of course very different devices. If you own a Yamaha CP88 then it is a dedicated digital Piano. One with a top of the line acoustic-sim action. To be clear, this is a key action that is suitable for advanced classical repertoire and whilst lacking in some small areas (compared to a much heavier device) it's considered one of the best in class here. Compared to Korg - they come nowhere close to what the Yamaha offers you in Piano recreation. Thats the point. The Korg Nautilus on the other hand is a slighly cheaper and modified release of the prior Korg flagship 'Kronos 2'. Which needs no introduction. It is a full music workstation. 9 engines designed to give you everything you need in a single box to approach different genres and uses. It has MANY things that the CP88 does not. That all said the CP88 and Nautilus are NOT in the same range of instrument. You CANNOT grade in classical music on the Nautilus. Even with the x8 88 key. It simply lacks the keybed. Which is where Yamaha invested. As a stage PIANO. That is it's 'extreme' focus. Everything it is was focused on that. So if you do NOT need a top of the line PIANO action; and instead would like a multi-purpose SYNTH keyboard - then yes Nautilus would serve you well. Inline with Modx and Fantom-0. Although I have my bias I would say each have their pro's and cons. Nautilus - no hands on control and some people 'hate' menu diving on touch screens (they'd prefer laptops and software). The Modx has amazing sounds - but its build suffers somewhat and it's very deep for some people (too much). The Fantom-0 has great hands on controls and interaction with DAW. It's main appeal is as a central hub. Much like the larger version. That said what they gain in controls, they lose somewhat in the versatile engines, memory, sequencing and build (assuming cheaper version). So it really is up to you. Like choosing between Pepsi, Cola or Pepper. You decide which suits you best!

@ErraticFaith if you are looking strictly for key bed action I would not recommend the cp88. The key bed action is far from an acoustic piano. I own it. I also ownt the studiologic numa x piano gt. That one beats the cp88 out of the water. Feels very close to steinway piano. I highly recommend it If you are looking for best key action.

I use one every day. It’s not an action for everyone but it is vastly superior to the KORGs which is why it can be used right up to mid-tier formal grading. I doubt most people playing nautilus practice classical composition to that standard however. It’s only really bested by the Kawai grand feel in terms of performance for high speed pieces. Something like the KORG Rh3 is too slow. That’s why it’s barred from formal examination. Much after that you need a proper acoustic piano.

Wizard not the wand

So good for live stage play??

I also got one of these. I find it the best rompler I have had since Kurzweil k2661, I am having a lot of fun out of it. I have owned Yamaha Motif ES, Roland Fantom X, Korg Triton LE, Korg TR, Korg N364, Roland Juno G and Nord Stage 3 (I will exclude the VA and analog synths of this list). The best of that list to me are Kurzweil k2661, Korg Nautilus, and Nord Stage 3.

Live stage play really comes down to the demands of what and how, than it does the board being good enough. Mainly because very few of us use a single board option in those scenarios. For one its good to have a backup board anyway and on the other, the vast range of sounds required makes it far safer to just move between tiers than mess with one device. So in other words you'll have numerous bases covered on different devices. One of which could easily be a nautilus. Likely the only reason people might avoid it in that setting is the lack of real time controls over something like the Fantom-0. Which of course most people are aware has sliders, pads and numerous other onboard hardware. Comparatively the Korg is limited to its touch screen. Which might not be ideal on the stage for a good few people. If you're like me and pre-prepare everything - which applies just as much to boards like the modx as the Nautilus - then it might not affect you either way. People are using a lot of master boards as hubs these days. Integrated with DAWs and a host of other devices. Things like the Fantom have really been designed with that in mind, rather than a do-everything board. If people want to have a nautilus with the hands-on controls, it can be worth seeking out a second hand Kronos 2 which has those additions of course. But it comes at quite the cost of late with so few on the second hand market. Might not be worth it to everyone.

Love mine...Heavy AF and if you have to reboot on stage..take a break

Yeah I still use my M50, still works great but now I want one of these

I had a M50 with 88 keys. Loved that board.

I have still my m50 but may be is time to buy nautilus… piano sounds great 😃

M50 has the better interface, sadly. They gimped the Nautilus in favor of more clunky menu diving for some of the simplest, most basic fuctions. I hate using it, otherwise, I love the sounds and overall sound quality. Not buying, ya dun goofed again, Korg.

That would only come out at about 7-8 grand!

I mean it barely came it’s not like can’t add it in the future

Sorry, dude, don't hold your breath!

😂

Cover songs or original bits? I thought the demo was pretty good for what it's worth

They're not super heavy.

that easy boi than playing classical piano

@@JSBach-pd4yg true bach ... true

@@JSBach-pd4yg lmao nice gimmick account

@Dziri I agree! I think you should check out Jordan Rudess if you haven’t. He plays extremely fast solos on a fully weighted Korg Kronos.

I’ve been Korg’d since the M1 and O1wfd

@@MattF12765 Yes

Triton & Karma in the same year. 20 years ago. Love korg.

Thank you!! The positive feedback is much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed!

Very good.You are the ideal supplier of cheap new stuff on Ebay;-)).I love you guys.Keep it coming...

That first demo sounded like Han Zimmer's score from the movie Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron Immediately interested in the keyboard after that

@@lucimine would you mind sharing if you had any inspiration the Japanese upright section at 8:00 was based on? Absolutely loved it and want to learn it - really emphasized the emotion the sample provided!

Sorry, what's auto-comp?

@Atlsynth I hear ya.

Thousands of elevators are offended by this comment.

@hostnik You sound bitter. Who hurt you?

And I assume a lot cheaper ?

@@honeybadger2732 A little cheaper only ! In europe, the 73 notes version is about 3,200 $

@@liviou2004 Ouch! - well it has auto accompinament ! ;)

@@honeybadger2732 Kronos has Karma which is far more powerful than Nautilus arpegiator. Nautilus doesn't have it !

@@liviou2004 Yamaha MODX/Montage can have upto 8 different arpeggios to its 8 parts.

I still want an Oasys. I understand this Nautilus is an upgrade from the Kronos, which followed the Oasys. Do You know if this Nautilus keyboard has any of the Oasys features?

I still want an Oasys. I don't know if I'll buy one used, but... I understand this Nautilus is an upgrade from the Kronos, which followed the Oasys. Do You know if this Nautilus keyboard has any of the Oasys features?

Oasys is definitely the best. Don't you know if Korg planning to make something of that high end workstations in the future?

Yes, there are. This a league above the Kross

Watch Luke Edward's demo of this board & you'll see what your looking for thank you! 🙂

Did you try getting it replaced?

You need to learn how to play better that's why...

Did you end up keeping the Nautilus?? I really wanted for the nice piano sounds on it, but im concerned now. Thank

Korg's samples and development team are amongst the best engineers on the planet. You need not be concerned. Echo is somewhat correct. In that this is a complex device. You need to both tailor things to your preference - and have the correct amount of physical talent. It's not meant to play itself, its a high end system.

Listen to the korg m3 from 10 years ago and tell me what honestly sounds better

That SSD drive

Good but not better than a Nord in my opinion. I own a Nautilus and a Nord Stage 3.

​@@Doneturcan you make a similar demo playing with your Nord....I bet you can't 😂

@@Statsjki have published videos, you can check these before saying that crap. Nevertheless, who told you I need to play something to backup my statement?. That’s a logical fallacy, you may need to analyze better your claims/statements.

Put a nanoKONTROL2 with it, I believe that's the answer

@@Culture_of_Ghosts Maybe this is an option BUT when you play on a stage and need quickly change some slider so it may be not so convenient when this additional gadget is laying on a keyboard as it is not firmly connected to it and may fall down. Don't you think so?

How is it? Im thinking of purchasing one myself and i have 0 knowledge or ideas of how synths work and stuff! Lemme know!

Hi Larry, yes the version in the video has a weighted keyboard (full size 88 keys) that is velocity sensitive. There are also 2 smaller size which have synth action keys.

Luciano Minetti Has it aftertouch as well?

@@HubertEtAlice Hello! It does not have aftertouch.

@@lucimine do you know if the nautilus 73 have similar keybed to pa4x?

kronos redux

With a better UI

More like a steroid krome 2 me...

Yes, it has a few analog synth simulations with typical saw, sine, square waves, but keep in mind, this is PCM workstation with a few modelling algorithms. In short, you can do that, but don't expect pulling out Virus sounds out of it. If you want true synth experience you need to buy true analog or digital synth, in fact, a few of them to have a few different options on your fingertips. Also, it depends on what you are calling "new". There are many sound designers who works with various synths and any musical sound likely already is programmed by pros. Many musicians buys synths simply to get "that sound" of specific synth instead of making new sounds by their own.

If that’s what your looking for, with a combination of solid presets, get the Yamaha MODX
