Glad it was helpful! Stay connected more to come! Be sure to check out the rest of the videos though 😊😊😊

I'm glad I could help! And thanks for watching. We appreciate the support! Stay connected!

That's amazing!!! Glad I could help! Stay connected. More info on the way!

@@JuliusDeBerryJr already subscribed. Great content. Easy to understand

Glad it was helpful! Alot of the Nautilus programming can be used on Kronos and vice versa. Stay connected!!!

I'm glad it helped. Stay connected!!

I'm glad it helped you! Please stay connected. More content is on the way!

hello my friend can you show me or make a video how to change the scale to arabic thanks in advance

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Stay connected!

😂😂😂😂bruh. I hate them. I could not have a either in any keyboard and I wouldn't miss it at all.

Lol. What do you mean a harpist. 😆

@@JuliusDeBerryJr cause you said you “don’t like harp”. Racist/ “harp”ist.

😆😆😆😆. Yeah not on keyboards for sure. Harpsichord. Is what I said didn't I?

You will see a bank loading option IF you open the directory up far enough. otherwise, it loads to the default bank location that the file creatorset, This is a good question. I'll get a short video done for it.

Yes it's definitely possible. I don't have any videos on it but maybe can get something on the timeline. As far as the pen...👀, it's an some pencil. Generation #2. I'll get a link posted for you. What country are you located in?

I'm not sure it's an upgrade. But yes, the Nautilus is a good alternative to the Kronos. If you need the sounds, it's a perfect alternative. Yeah the Nautilus can change the load time by changing what's loaded... Your Kronos may have less stuff being loaded than the Nautilus I used in my demonstration.

These libraries are larger than you think. And are you sure it said on disk and not RAM?

@@JuliusDeBerryJr I'm not a technical genius, this SSD system on synthesizer is new to me. I don't know how this works. My assumption was that the entire Preload.PCG is uploaded to the RAM for some reason, although I think 3Gb of RAM is not enough for the EXs libraries, so I assumed that the Preload PCG content is loaded from the SSD. I thought that RAM was only important if I wanted to upload a specific directory to Nautilus, then listen to its contents to see if I liked it or not, and then copy it to the SSD. I know that the Yamaha Motif XF was different, but it had 128mb of RAM, I had to load the libraries there, and then if I wanted to, I selected my favorite sounds and installed them on the FLASH memory. I know the Motif XF was different in that it had Flash memory, not SSD, but the RAM on the Motif XF was only used to load the library for testing. If 128mb was not enough, it had to be uploaded to the FLASH memory immediately. I assume that most Korg libraries are roughly 1 and 1.5Gb so that they can be comfortably uploaded to the 3GB RAM and saved from there to the SSD. Does load from the SSD to the RAM when you turn it on, or can you avoid this by loading it directly from the SSD? Stupid question, but I bought the Nautilus 3 days ago, so I have no idea how to handle it.

Those piano libraries may be kinda large. But make sure you are loading them as streaming and not directly into the ram. That could make all the difference in the world.

Found the procedure for a factory reset! It’s in the “Nautilus Workstation Operation Guide I found online. Seems to have worked! Time to explore some more! 😊

I'm glad you found the answer. I've been kinda tied up today. Haven't been able to get beck to a few people.

@@JuliusDeBerryJr Hey, thanks for replying! The manual I found online is way more in depth than the one I got with the Nautilus. Thanks, again, for all your awesome videos. I truly am learning a lot. You’re the best!

I did this video a LONG LONG LONG time ago. Lol. Thankful for how far I've come. 😆 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v1mBfamwMlc.html

Thank you my friend. I think I’ll stick to just playing and writing. This Is way out out of my comfort zone!!!

It's not that bad. But I understand the reservation!

😂😂😂😂. Man have never really cared for them. 😂 Thanks for watching!!! As far as the required samples for the presets.... That would probably just be the default preload. But also remember alot of them are probably covered by the ROM (from factory). Maybe try to unload all the EXA files and see how far you get with the sounds that are left. I can check what that number would be for you. (Sample space left)

I believe to a certain extent yes. But for best compatibility you need to probably get the Kronos set for Nautilus from the Korg Shop. But that make be worth a little research just to be sure.

Also thanks for watching! Stay connected. Much more content to come !!!

Not sure I understand your question. Can you reword it?

@@JuliusDeBerryJr thanks for your reply, I mean, i bought many korg expansions EXS sounds and installed them in the nautilus SSD, I would like to have each expansion in a dedicated user bank, (for example, the EXS112 have to work in the bank a / the EXS113 in a bank b / 114 bank c …) i tried all i can do but every time, something is wrong, like, example : drums with the expansion is not working properly, changed bank is not saved … example : If i go to media and load expansion 1, it goes to bank t (i don’t know why) then, i copy bank t to bank a and after that it’s work (drums / wave sequences are working) but after that if load an another new expansion to go in bank b, i have to load again in bank « t » and then copy paste to bank b, and if i go back to bank a, many of wavesequence are lost is that possible to contact u more easier than here please ?

We may need to set up a 1 on 1 session for this. Please send me an email. Thanks.

@@JuliusDeBerryJr thanks a lot for that, i have not found ur mail here’s when can i find it please ?

@@JuliusDeBerryJr hey there let me know how to contact u :) have a great day

First you'd need to delete the preloaded songs. Have you done that ? After you delete them, it would make way for a "new" save file...

@@JuliusDeBerryJr thanks , no I did not delete them; once they are deleted are they gone for good or can you recall them if you need to

I'm not 100% positive but am almost sure that they can be recalled from factory content. But to be sure, the best thing to do would be to go ahead and save a song file with those preload demo songs (and even a full .PCG file).... So you have them JUST IN CASE. You can store that file somewhere safely and then move forward with no worries.

Hmmmm. Not sure I follow. I'd maybe need to see it. Are you pretty sure that you didn't double load some of the pcgs?

@@JuliusDeBerryJr How do I find out if I double load the pcgs? And how could I shoot you a picture??

@@JuliusDeBerryJr again,,in Program mode,, piano is highlighted " Nautilus Grand Dry/Amb, I scroll from left to right ,,from A--Gm,,,between ( F) and ( Gm) m001 and m041 has been placed,, so I need to replace the pianos that were there, , and how do I do that?? And why were they placed there,,, again thanks for your help!

When you say from A--Gm then you say (F) and (Gm), are you referencing program banks.

@@JuliusDeBerryJr yes! I shouldn't see any M1's--combi, or m1's program, unless I go and tap bank M in combi and so on Bank m in program, all the sounds of the ( M1's) and ( m1's) should be In the M bank,, but when I go Back to category Piano A000 and scroll over there is m0001. and m041,, what does your Nautilus say? I shouldn't even see them unless I tap bank m, right??

You have to load the samples. But I believe Austrian is a paid expansion so unless you have purchased it you won't be able to use it... Unless you try the demo which will mute the audio from the piano every few seconds.

@@JuliusDeBerryJr Yea , really didn't want to purchase anything ,The Nautilus has everything you really need,, yea from the (piano type, turning the dial right to left) Italian up to the Japanese Smallc wood pianos do work/play, and from the Berlin D bright 3s down to the German D dark1, don't, work/play, kinda hoping that you could tell me something I didn't know!!

Let me check against my system. I'll get back with you soon.

@@JuliusDeBerryJr sounds good ,Julius,,,thanks

Let me check into that. I believe so. But let me check on something specific and I'll get back to you tomorrow.

OK. Love your videos...very informative.

Thanks for the kind words!!!! I'll get back with you soon about the transfer. Are you asking if the Nautilus can read your external drive? And pull in sample data from there?

@@JuliusDeBerryJr Yes, sample data and also Korg Sounds stored on external SSD. I also know, you are very familiar with Yamaha Motif Keyboards. I have a Motif XS, the Perform Mode seems similar to Nautilus 4 Scenes ARP/Styles, albeit Motif uses 5 ARP Styles for each Perform. Will these Motif Styles or ARP performances be recognized in the Nautilus. If yes, how can I transfer?

Via midi. If there is a midi out for the arps themselves. (Korg has that for Karma, etc... I believe)

Yes it was new. You mean sounds, like programs???

@@JuliusDeBerryJr yes

Aw man. Ain't no telling. You think you have some missing? There should be alot of empty slots though.

@@JuliusDeBerryJr k thx/my keyboard is new I know it come with 2500 programs I want to and 1000 more

😳😳😳😳 wow. What are you getting ready for?

Hi!

Sorry sir. But that is incorrect. If you click the link that I posted below, and scroll down to where it says "synthesis types", you will see that the HD-1 engine is based off of PCM samples. Then if you scroll a little farther, you will see that the present PCM is made up of 314 MB of sample data. The ROM includes 1,505 multisamples and 1388 drum samples. And to confirm that I just unloaded all EXS samples from from Kronos and there are still ROM samples loaded that play sounds within the HD-1 engine. As I stated, you can not remove the ROM. Thanks! www.korg.com/us/products/synthesizers/kronos2/page_2.php

@@JuliusDeBerryJr ROM is a type of chip, not a sound. It looks like the “ROM” sounds are separately preloaded into reserved RAM, like the operating system. They are found on the SSD right? They wouldn’t be if they were on a ROM chip.

Nope I don't think they are on the SSD. Argue with Korg lol. Is says ROM on their site. You gonna tell them that it's not ROM? And it's RAM? Do you have a Kronos? If not, I can do a RU-vid live and show you what I'm talking about? 👀 Romplers are a "type" of keyboard and it has always pertained to where/how the sound's samples are stored. The Kronos has an internal ROM and the HD-1 engine uses it. (Not it alone... Because you can use the loaded samples as well.) It's going to be hard to argue with the info they have listed on their site... But I could be wrong. 🤷🏾‍♂️ But I do want to know where you got your info from?😊

I'll also say this... If you got back to the m3 it was the same. They had a ROM and they had samples that could be loaded at boot. But the board still had sounds even if you didn't load the extra libraries.... (M3 xpanded)

@@JuliusDeBerryJr The 'ROM' sounds are the factory KSCs. They cant be removed or edited from the physical storage (SSD in this case). They can be removed from the RAM just as you showed. But they are read/write protected from the user. ROM chips are Read Only Memory. Meaning the manufacturer has put in data that cannot be changed. Now thanks to NAND flash becoming cheaper, we can use higher amounts of memory in our keyboards. The internal 'ROM' are whatever you saw when you opened up the Preload folder. They are not actual ROM chips (rather the SSD), but Korg uses this term because we cannot edit or manipulate this preset data.

What does this mean?
