Korg Nautilus 61

The Korg Nautilus 61 (Black) is a 61-Note Music Workstation which revisits the idea of what a modern Synthesiser should be able to do. The clearly arranged Control Panel quickly makes it clear that most operations are carried out on the large, colour 7" Touch-Screen. 6x Knobs and Buttons each can be configured by the user according to his or her own needs; depending on the Mode, these are predefined and fulfil a fixed task, such as setting the Arpeggiator or the Filter. The Velocity-Sensitive, Lightly-Weighted Keyboard provides a comfortable playing feel. Closely connected to this is the Dynamics Control, which changes the Keyboard's Touch behaviour. The range of expressivity is so wide that it is sometimes hard to believe that you are still playing the same Selected Sound. In addition to numerous PCM Sounds and Drum Kits, 9x different Tone Generation Models are among the highlights of the Korg Nautilus. Here, the Musician is given a number of in-house classics such as the MS-20, CX-3, Polysix and Prophecy, but also high-quality Electric and Grand Piano Sounds as well as String Instruments and ultra-modern Synthesizer Sounds.

Sound Generation

The Sound Engine of the Nautilus contains 9x different Sound Generation methods, covering just about everything from high-quality Pianos and wacky Synthesiser Sounds to selected Instruments for Orchestral Music or the tried-and-tested sound requirements for Rock and Pop.

Sampler

With the Open Sampling System, Korg has implemented an uncomplicated possibility to record Samples from external Audio Sources and process them in the Unit, even Resampling is possible. The maximum Sampling Time depends on the amount of memory remaining in the PCM or a maximum of 80 minutes of Stereo in Disc Mode. Various Sample Formats such as AIFF, WAV, SoundFont 2.0 and AKAI S1000/3000 can be loaded via a USB Stick. Nautilus can be connected to a Computer Network via a USB Ethernet Adaptor, which speeds up the exchange of Data between the Instrument and a Computer considerably.
