Thanks for taking the time to make this comprehensive comparison. You made it tougher for me to decide between the two. I'm leaning towards the kronos though because it has karma and more controls.
61 key Nautilus is about a grand cheaper than 61 key Kronos 2. So I can easily do without Karma, the vector joystick, and the smaller touchview screen. But I don't want a modern workstation without after touch and a ribbon controller. Korg shouldve put those two standard features in Nautilus. Those 2 missing features are the deal-breaker for me.
@@oldschoollee I ended up buying a nautilus and it’s honestly really fantastic. It’s a little bit cheap feeling but professional. It’s exactly what I wanted.
@@tempesthoughton4441 After touch and ribbon controller are trivial. So I ended up buying a 61 key Nautilus for a steal. Paid $1400 + taxes & shipping on a used "excellent condition" one from Guitar Center. Which had a few scratches and scrapes on the side and bottom metal lol. So GC exaggerated the condition. Just got it yesterday. The only other cosmetic issue that I have with it is the small lower left round plastic piece that broke off the edge side of the top of workstation, where the joystick is. Since I found the broken piece in the box, Ill assume that damage occurred while in transit. No biggie. A combination of bad packaging by Guitar Center and UPS mishandling. That lower top plastic overhang on both sides of the key bed is flimsy. But I like the design. Just wished the lower top overhang were the same material as the upper top overhang. Otherwise it looks brand new. Great sound and 14 updated expansions that are not included or compatible with Kronos. I prefer the updated interface over the Kronos as well. It's definitely a fantastic workstation. You made the right choice.
I just bought the Nautilus 73 brand new for $400 cheaper than a second hand Kronos 61. I'm very happy with it, I find it very user-fiendly and sounds fantastic.
This is crazy how great they both sound. In these two case, it's a matter of which one looks better. The Kronos is fly!!! The nautilus look like krome with a metal chassis.
I've watched the whole video. The two instruments have literally the same voices. I can't understand your conclusion that the Nautilus sounds better. How can it be? Why would I buy an instrument with a small, slow response screen and so few controls. Why would I. The user interface matters A LOT
Foarte frumos si util ! Multumim Fernando !
I think both sounds are almost same
Very nice!!! Foarte bine!!! Foarte frumos!!!! Thanks for this comparison!!!! Very useful!!! Succes!!!
Bravo, un video destul de util , Multumim
I had the Krome EX, Kronos 2 61, and now I have the Nautilus 61. I think the Nautilus sounds more accessible and more pleasant to listen to. Playing this instrument is pure satisfaction. Kronos has a more severe character. It looks as if Korg engineers have given the Kronos an easier & nicer version. The keyboard is probably the same, but in Nautilus it feels a bit deeper. Between Kronos and Nautilus I had Krome EX, so maybe that's why I feel in Nautilus. To sum up, Korg Nautilus is the best equipment I've ever dealt with. Affordable price, something beautiful.
Nothing beats Kronos till today…
@@chotonbarua5049 OASYS is better!
Very WELL DONE AND SAID MY FRIEND! I’ve used my brand new Korg Nautilus 88 key live performance! The sound is unlike no other. The richness quality and realistic sound is unsurpassed!! Even against the legendary Kronos.
Good to hear,gonna get the nautilus 88 key,soon.
this is a beast, congratulations
They are identical under the hood. No sonic difference on sounds.
Amazing review! Thanks
How does feel the keybad of 66 and 73- key version of Nautilus? has exactly the same keybad with Krome ex, or at Nautilus is better?
Mulțumesc pentru aceste detalii. Acum că străvechiul și îndrăgitul meu Kurzweil K2600 și-a dat definitiv duhul, sunt în impas și va trebui să mă gândesc foarte serios la cele două opțiuni.
Mie personal îmi place mai mult sunetul mai auster în Kronos, dar Kronos nu mai găsesc decât la mâna a doua și nu știu cât timp mai pot conta pe suport tehnic în caz că se-ntâmplă ceva. E singurul aspect care mă-ngrijorează.
Cu Nautilus asta n-ar fi o problemă dar fără fadere, fără ribbon, cu touchscreen mai mic (mai ales că acolo trebuie să fac majoritatea editărilor în lipsa faderelor) și fără Karma mi se pare că renunț la prea multe.
Nautilus este mai ieftin, dar totodata este un downgrade. Seamana cu un M1 cu touchscreen. KORG putea relansa un OASYS mai pe steroizi. Kronos nu se mai gaseste, deci KORG vrea sa vanda produse mai ieftine. Marketing si cash flow...
@@AndreiMuresan-x5e Cam asa... au scos faderele si ne spun sa facem operatiunile pe touchscreen, iar apoi ne prezinta un touchscreen semnificativ mai mic, cu mult mai multe sanse ca in fervoarea unui concert sa pun degetul unde nu trebuie. Si dupa niste ani petrecuti alaturi de un K2600 e de inteles ca renunt cu greu la un ribbon.
I don't know if its because of youtube video sound compression or what but I can't tell a difference and I have a good ear!. I would bet others couldn't tell a difference if they weren't watching the video. I think that this proves that instrument makers are basically churning out the same thing year after year in a different package with a different name. I will say I have heard better string sounds than the ones at 3:40. Also turn the reverb off of all sounds to make them clearer. I was impressed with the reed and wind instrument sounds. In the end, its not the instrument, its how you use it.
Sometimes it is a psychological thing. I also can’t hear a difference.
I'll stick with my Kronos X 88. 10 years now and still learning new things all the time. Very powerful workstation.
I have a first gen 61 key and its still my main keyboard, the nautilus is tempting for the price though be nice to have another fully capable synth and retire the Hammond X3C to the studio even though its only 45 pounds it would be nice to lighten the live rig
I also agree with you, still learning new things on the great Kronos😅
Daaa ceva util ,felicitări
Can somebody tell me, why the nautilus is so muffled on the pianos but so brilliant at the guitars? Is there a secret setting that makes the pianos muffled? Or has it a different/non compatible sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz?
Really Can't tell the difference. I own both and they sound identical.
Have you tried using iPad VSTs on these? What are the differences between their audio interfaces in terms of output re: iPad VSTs?
@@paulirineomontano5074 No I haven't, but these engines on both machines are identical in every way.
That's good to know from someone who owns both. There are many Kronos owners who insist they sound different. But do they own both?
@@ulrap1202We've done tests from people sitting in other rooms with headphones on.... They sound exactly the same. Even the people listening have gotten the keyboards wrong thinking it was the other board. Don't understand that people think the Kronos is better at sound because it has more knobs and lights on it.
Being 'better at sound' as you amusingly call it, can be a result of better UI. It's the case irrespective of chip/bed and many other elements. But then a toddler could have told you that.
I would honestly go with the Korg Kronos, but that's just me. Looks more hands on to me, and plus having the extra sliders, KARMA and aftertouch help too. It's just a shame that Korg decided to discontinue the Kronos for whatever reason.
Korg Nautilus a knock-off they're just trying to save money ridiculous plastic body buttons sliders missing ridiculous
And overall the Kronos was way more powerful and looked way better
And why don't they make it so you can hook these keyboards up to your tablet in case something happens to your touchscree. This way you would have a bigger screen and a extra touch screen in case something fell on your expensive $3,000 keyboard
KORG became cheaper for cash flow. Nautilus is a downgrade.
@@AndreiMuresan-x5e Agreed. Korg NEED to make a TRUE successor tot he Kronos. Not a stripped down version like the Nautilus.
Great two legends competition 👏 👌 🙌
Diferențele dintre ele sunt destul de mici. Pot fi sesizate, nu numai din căști, ci, umblând și la parametrii interiori. În ce privește interfața meniurilor și submeniurilor, Nautilus aduce câteva schimbări (mai bine spus, niște simplificări și regrupări ale acestora, bazate, dacă nu greșesc, pe cele 9 motoare interioare, pe care le are și Kronos). Dacă am compara două branduri de sintetizoare consacrate, Yamaha Genos este adecvată pentru muzicieni (inclusiv, pentru muzicanți, având funcția de PA), în timp ce Korg Kronos (fie el și 2) sau noul Nautilus corespund, mai mult, gustului inginerilor care se preocupă de muzică. Părerea mea, chiar dacă sunt posesor de Kronos 2. Ca design, despre interfață (meniuri, submeniuri, parametri multipli etc.), Genos-ul poate fi comparat cu Windows 10, pe când, Korgurile, în general, arată mai mult a Windows XP (având submeniuri foarte greoaie și mai puțin atractive), până la, cel mult, a Windows 7 (la meniurile rapide și splitare). 😎🎹🎧
nice video. i. have a question. can nautilus read combi sounds from korg kronos ?
I'm trying to decide which one to buy. Fernando sounds pretty confident there is a "boost" to the Nautilus. To me it sounds like some sounds have been re-eq'd slightly brighter. This is just what it sounds like to me. Other sounds I hear no difference. Some people say the Kronos has better DAC chips and the Nautilus is not capable of producing the same quality of sound. My feeling is listen for yourself, if there is really a big difference to your ear, then make a choice based on that. If not, make your choice based on factors other than sound.
I would probably get the Kronos the Nautilus seems like a cheap knockoff just to get rid of buttons knobs and a solid body.I It's the same thing Yamaha did with montge and modx the same thing but things out just to save money and make more money. Any keybwords over $1500 Should have metal frame keys like that had in late 90s and 2000 keywords made with pride. And what ever happened to E MU. I can personally say a lot of the older keywords sound a lot better because of the electronics put in to them not the same anymore 😕
hello... is it true that the nautilus has the same keys as the kronos?
Yes
Yes, Identical..... The Kronos just has more bells and whistles, more lights and Karma, That's really the difference.
Nautilus TOP 💯
Are these a factory sounds? Or it is programmed and will not get it if I buy one?!
Had my Nautilus for a week.
The sound is more unstable on the nautilius key action than on the kronos
hello... the nautilus has the same keys as the kronos
That is incorrect. There are differences, depending on model.
the Kronos sounds more processed, but with some effects, compressors etc (all internal), I have really achieved them to sound the same in general terms.
They both have the exact same engine. Why would you test me against each other? Makes no sense.
Marketing... Let`s sale a cheaper downgrade version... Who likes the new hardware interface on Nautilus? Honest? A few cheap knobs... on a ruthless interface. Even more cheaper Krome has more buttons.
Where is KARMA on Nautilus?
Ho provato a comprare Kronos ma non è disponibile
Nautilus ha gli stessi suoni?
Grazie
Yes
de ce sunt multe nautilus de vanzare pe net !?
Am observat ca majoritatea detinatorilor de nautilus vor kronos 2
Om 🎉grande saund la migliore 🎉
Al KRONOS 2,le pongan a quien le pongan seguira siendo el rey indiscutible..., no hay punto de comparación, ...empezando con el Karma que Nautilus no trae,la construcción de los materiales en KRONOS es unica, Nautilus pareciera un Krome por lo sencillo que está....
Asi que en pocas palabras.... KRONOS seguirá durante mucho tiempo más...el Rey . 👑......
3:36 pet shop boys, it's a sin .... bravo 👏
Nautilus sounds more bright and velocity hard-hitting , less magical. For synth parts for some dark metal i'd choose Kronos, but if I didnt know of it's existense I'd say Nautilus sounds realy awesome.
Which minute of the video sounds brighter in the Nautilus for you?. In any case, this could be solved by editing with EQ if brightness is a problem. But in my opinion they sound quite the same, that’s why I am asking to analyze with my studio monitors better. :)
@@Donetur don't remember what i thought of this video those days. Since then I already bought a used Kronos-2 88, but selling it now :( So long and heavy, and feels overwhelming and no room for it at home now. And as for sounds, I mostly prefer their sounds in black metal of 90s, early 2000.. And though Kronos does job decently (i can't say it's so modern sounding that i can't bear it) but for me the old AI2-Korg synths are more then enough. To achieve more fun, I could also spend several hundred more bux for patches from synthonia (for gothic metal, dream theater and deep purple stuff), but.. well, no mood for keys now, turned to guitars once again)
Nautilus may sound exactly the same but it's not the same Parts build quality or any of the extra features you would get on a Kronos a plastic body give me a break
A plastic body on a $2,000 machine would never happen in 2000 this disturbs me as keyboard companies keep on getting cheaper and Order keyboards do sound better in a lot of aspects
@@jimmy2times298 the Nautilus is mostly made of metal. It is unfair to say it is made of plastic.
Nautilus sounds just as good for half the price
Some patches sound exactly the same. However, the Italian Grand and Mod 7 EP sound better on the Nautilus. Curious.
Nautilus 👍👍👍💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
🔥🔥🔥✔️✊🏻
Evident Kronos suna CU MULT mai cald (larg),parerea mea :) cred ca si claviatura e mai slabuta la Nautilus... prezentare superbă!!! bravo Fernando!!!!
Claviatura e identica.
@@MCMUSICALDISTRIBUTOR Nautilus lipsește după atingere și controler cu panglică
I've listened to it using a Sony wh-1000x3 and both synths sound practically the same. No worth spending money in Kronos, which also looks pretty obsolete and dated.
Steel git at 7.10
👍
Same 🤔
Literally, a dumb down version of the Kronos. Supposedly, the new interface on the Nautilus is better but, I beg to differ. I have used Kronos since 2012 and I’m happy! Not a sale for me.
I can’t make a decision on a keyboard to save my life
Good thing about these 2 is the endless expandability through the korg sound store. Any samples you could ever need. I've run out of banks.
Distributor... Too superficial... It would be much more interesting to compare the most painful thing - performance. Kronos 1 vs Kronos 2 vs Nautilus. It would be interesting to find out how voice stealing behaves on the same heavy libraries (for example made by Kurt Ader). Of course it must be bought first but... It's clear that software platform is almost the same, but may be hardware slightly more powerful although there is little hope for this
Parca Kronos suna mai natural !
Așa mi se pare și mie
Kronos have DAC from OASIS, Nautilus have cheap ones.
kronos will always be the better one
Korg kronos un setini aliyor mu ?
Evet. Kronos setlerini okuyor.
Equal
Korg nautilus wenige voller ( beim Sound weniger Bass) hört sich hellerer Sound
In Prinzip ist gleich ,mein Meinung
Ao meu ver não teve evolução, nenhuma...o nautilus parece um teclado mid level em comparação ao Kronos 2 top level sempre.....sou mais ficar com p kronos 1000x
Kronos tones has more body and weight
About my opinion theresn't any difference in the sounds of these two synths!
Kronos гораздо лучше звучит. Похоже сьэкономили на чипах.
I have my old Kronos1 88keys, my kronos73 and I am happy not to have my old OASYS88 , only for my vintage collection. ;)
Why don't they make an adapter so you can hook this up to your tablet in case something happens to your touchscreen this would be saving you a lot of money and giving you a bigger screen don't these keyboard companies understand this with some of the older keyboards in the 2000 you could hook them up to your TV YAMAHA TYROS 1 you can hook right up to you t,v, and that was made in 2002 this is ridiculous . Going to have to go back to the future to correct some of these keyboards we have out today. Any more cheap materials cheap plastic like a Casio Keyboard body on a $1,500 keyboard ridiculous in fact I have Casio keyboards that are harder than this thing
This demo is based on basic sounds.
His way of playing makes it sound the same but the
Nautilus has no after touch.
Anyboby that knows keyboards knows what it's like not having it.
It's actualy one major detail that made the korg M1 so popular at the time.
2024 with out after touch is like getting back to Nintendo era.
Strangely nautilus has got out a Nautilus AT afterword...but with a différent price.
Nautilus compared to kronos is like dodge charger v6(nautilus) compared with dodge charger RT 5.7 hemi (knonos) .
Now you know why nautilus is cheaper...
Nautilus is a beast
Yes. Just got mine yesterday
Nautilus 👍👍👍💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
All in Kronos sounds more natural, musical and magical. I,ve a Nautilus and don't like the way it sounds. Really, a I prefer the sound of Krome instead of the Nautilus, once again, more natural and musical.
El korg kronos es mejor.los sonidos tienen más cuerpo.en él nautilus,suenan muy superficial
Al contrario amigo!! El Nautilus tiene mucho mas vida y REALISMO k el Kronos! Yo tengo el Nautilus 88 Key. Compare los dos en vivo. No hay comparación!
Yo noté que el piano acústico del Kronos tiene más cuerpo y brillo que el del Nautilus, los demás sonidos son muy similares y no escucho diferencia alguna.
Los escuché con un auricular Sony wh-1000×3 y suenan ambos casi exactos. Muy mínimas diferencias en el piano italiano y un Lead.
@@efrainlopez1260 que tal? me pregunto xq es mas barato el Nautilus? solo por las perillas y controladores?? me da a pensar eso. Un saludo
He revisado comparaciones y no veo diferencia la verdad, tengo la hipótesis que percibirlo diferente es psicológico solamente.
