I’ve been checking out all your Nautilus videos Woody and I must say you’ve done an excellent job! So excellent in fact that I just emailed my keyboard sales dude to pre-order me the 88 key. I was advised that it’s not due to arrive until early January or February. Patience is a virtue (of which I have little) 😁 Thanks again for the great review!
HA! Mixman studio Pro with a keyboard! I love it!. Korg.. What a brand! My Korg PA600 QT has gotten alot of use, and indeed quite impressive how far Korg has come in tech and sound! I remember my first ever Korg, a Poly 800. Lovely!
No idea why the thumbs down... I really like the Nautilus and thanks to you Woody will be buying one as soon as they make it over here in the USA. The palette of sounds are wonderful and I love the "Tine" Rhodes sounds.! I can tell that you are also impressed, Woody, GREAT JOB!
Well is true what people say about usability, but oh boy oh boy they nailed some instruments. Piano character and definition is absolutely gorgeous, very deliciously balanced. They just need drop those prices, which are absolutely crazy, for what this workstation represent. Maybe make v2 and fix those issues people don't like and set price around 1599€? I think then competition should be very scared :)
totally agree, price is ridiculous especially in the UK at £1949 for 61 key on pre-order, may as well buy the Kronos if you are going to be spending up around this money. I honestly thought when watching the first Woody unbox demo video that this would be the 1st workstation I finally buy and Korg had become competitive with Yamaha, but not a chance, back to the MODX I think.
Nice follow up Woody.. Love your enthusiasm 👍🏼 love the fact that Korg told you to keep it as long as you like. I'd send it back in 2030 if I was you 🤣
@@WoodyPianoShack Korg??? Maybe in 10 more years, launching the new "Nautilus X-Plus edition" ...it will change the front panel as they did with KromeEx. 🥱
Nice demo! Last year, I almost bought a used Kronos thru GC, but it was damaged in shipping, sent it back. I'll consider buying this new keyboard for similar pricing. 👍
It wasn't until I bought an Akai MPC 61 Key that I realized how cheesy all these other workstations sounded. Traded my Kronos 61 in for it and haven't looked back.
Thank you Woody. It looked like you thouroughly enjoyed this and got really inspired. Nice! Could you please also demo the orchestral sounds? I am curious to see how they compare to those on the Yamaha MODX.
Glad to see you are having fun with it. The glee and grin on your face makes me smile. Really though your just playing a selection of what is essentially a 2011 - 2016 Kronos. I used to have one but alas I had to sell it :( Kronos was always my go to instrument, can’t afford one now. So investing In VSTs now instead. Look at Jordan rudess he has one for his goto instrument. Jeff lober chords were sick btw.
i have no kronos experience so no idea what's new or not. these sounded pretty fresh and 2020 to me, with the future bass phrases and so on. i doubt those are on the kron? can't go wrong with vsts for studio and home use, for gigging musicians I think you need something like this!
@@WoodyPianoShack the big question on all Kronos owners is, if this nautilus does come shipped with new combis can they be transferred to Kronos?! I would be very surprised if this nautilus has over 4GB ram for huge samples. Also wonder if it has a 32GB SSD HD like the Kronos.
Hey, Korg. Thank Woody for helping you sell these 😁. (Thanks, Woody) Well, the videos help sell boards, but the gear itself has to seal the deal, and this one did. I just got one of these this week, as an upgrade for the Juno DS I picked up 4 years ago. This has the most comfortable 61 key keybed I have played for under 2500 USD. I guess if I had better technique that would not matter as much, but it does. My hands hurt after about 15 minutes on the Juno DS, but not on my cheapie Casio 61 key arranger or the Nautilus (the Casio being useful only as a USB controller) I actually like the pared down (not a Kronos , waaaaah, some whine) panel layout. I can find my way around easily, at least for selecting patches and making velocity and filter adjustments. Contrast with MODX, which is overwhelming. I once tried one in the store which someone had put into a “sequence playback mode” which I could not for the life of me escape, despite working as a computer programmer for decades. I don’t want to read another manual for an hour after work, I want to unwind. The labels on the panel above the jacks on the back is a very nice touch, as well, as opposed to squinting at tiny molded lettering on a back panel. I like that I can plug in a USB controller, such as my Nanokey (X Y pad!) or Casio CGP digital piano without a computer in the middle. No more dragging out the iPhone as a USB MIDI hub. Obviously, the sounds shown on these videos tease interest as well.
Hi there, thanks for the thoughtful comment and feedback, you know, my goal is never to try and sell any particular keyboard or brand to you, my mission is just to play it for you and tell you a bit about it, hopefully helping my viewers make a buying decision. there's nothing in it for me if you buy a korg, yamaha or roland as long as you'll be happy, inspired and make more music :)

I have a big birthday coming up soon, a one with a zero at the end, and I have about this much to spend on myself. I was going to get a new iMac, but I am very tempted to just upgrade my PC and get one of these. Oh boy, choices.
It's a workstation. So it's complex if all you want is sounds. It's meant as a more standalone unit. I personally like hardware and hardware interfaces. But when something is this deep you have to invest the time in learning it.
congrats in advance! you'll be wanting to upgrade that mac again after a few years. the workstation you might want to keep around for longer so more of a memoire?
As a MODX owner I must say I was really tempted to sell and get this...but I think on paper these two are directly on par with each other, and the MODX for me is a bit more user intuitive
Sell the modx to me, I buy the modx, if it's 61 key I'll offer you 900 dollars for it right now I'll give it to you. Let me know and we settle business.
@@truthmanifestingtruth what? Lol the MODX is better in my opinion thats why I’m keeping it: if you’re offering me a Kronos, obviously I’d ditch my MODX for it, but I’d rather have a Yamaha flagship than anything else right now to be honest. Yamaha’s bread and butter sounds are on par in hifi-ness as Korg and their effects and motion sequencer are too good to get rid of
Great demo¡¡¡¡¡ Nice playing¡¡¡¡ korg did a great job once again¡¡ I have the korg kronos and I wont'n buy any other workstation ( I guess). They have already sold me the prologue 8 and the pa 700. 😋
Some great sounds there Woody, nice presentation and playing. (If you want to do some VST reviews there's some new ones for Cherry Audio, the DC106 and CA2600. I bought them the other day, you may be interested)
The sounds are gorgeous, but the horrible, slow, laggy user interface, tiny screen controls with resistive touchscreen, and minimal actual real controls really turns me off.
Thanks for this video, you seem to have a lot of fun with the little brother of the Kronos...I have a Kronos V1, and I use VIRTUAL PADS a lot, has the Nautilus kept this function? Thanks again for your great Videos!
Wow really?! I have to look it up again because the PC4 with its flexible controls integrates with software way better than this. PC4 is pretty deep with sound design but are the sounds really dope?
I used to have a Kurzweil PC88 many years ago. Kurzweil is totally out fashioned, a museum, their sounds are sooo modern they could even be stored on floppy disks.
@@floriankurz4169 I'm sorry, but that's just nonsense. That would be like calling Yamaha out fashioned just because you had an S-80 once... The sounds on modern Kurzweil's are perfectly competitive with everything else on the market. A Kurzweil Forte has 16 GB's of sounds, the PC4 has 2 GB (plus 2 GB user memory). Have fun storing that on floppy discs!
Does the Nautilus have a SSD drive like the Kronos? I had 2 Kronos', the last one being V2 and even with the fan running, they still get warm and both emit a electronic smell even after a year(I believe it to be the new type of solder electronics are required to use now). I have sinus issues as it is, and it became a problem for me which I couldn't deal with. That being said, the sound and palette of instruments to choose from is simply wonderful, as well as inspiring. It's nice Korg has repackaged the Kronos to make it available at a lower price range to reach a wider musician base. I've moved on to a Yamaha Montage 6(White Anniversary Edition) and love love love it. But that's my personal choice, and as a former Kronos user I can highly recommend it, and it looks like the Nautilus is a big winner for Korg. It broke my heart to have to sell it, but at least someone else gets to enjoy it. Thanks for all the great info Woody.
i also read no, unless they can be converted, which might be something the library developers can do, or hopefully even Korg can developer a converter.
Hi Woody. Hope you're doing well. The Nautilus sounds good(except for the un-natural pianos, as usual for Korg). Over all, the synth sounds good, but the ridiculous number of menus make this more of a chore than a pleasure for me to actually make any music on it. I'll just stick with a good hardware sequencer, and add modules as needed. Thanks for sharing with us, and take care friend.
I was so thrilled when I first became aware of the existence of the Nautilus( as I had always dreamed of a cheaper version of the Kronos I could never afford.) When it became available for preorder, I ordered one....but the arrival dates got pushed back so many times, I became fed up & canceled my preorder and as it turned out, it was the best decision. Though I was hungry for the Nautilus's display screen & sounds( after having so many disappointments with the Krome)...well, over time....I began to realize how cheap & inadequate the physical controls of the Nautilus really were & are(along with a price point that really didn't make much sense, due to how scaled down it is,in some areas.) I just could not justify making my finances difficult with bearing the burden of $183 per month for a year, just for a 61 key that had less knobs & buttons than a Casio keyboard. Then a few days ago...the new Roland Fantom-0 series came about and it is twice the keyboard workstation that the Nautilus is(in many respects.) Even more amazing, is that the 61-key model is $700 less!! The new Fantom is so extraordinary for the money, that I have read numerous complaints from flagship Fantom users that felt that they wasted an extra $2,000(when they could have had pretty much the same thing for $2,000 less.) I'm sure it's inevitable that you will get your hands on one fairly soon and I am confident that you'll agree...that the Fantom is the most value-priced keyboard workstation ever created. I have one of preorder & I must say, I have NEVER been this excited about a hardware workstation before!
great points, I hope to try one myself of course. yes, it is crammed with nice features and those epic roland sounds. my only concern is the touchscreen which looks small and cramped in the demos, and the build quailty and keys (both of which are exceptional on big Fantom)
@@WoodyPianoShack Yes....the Roland Fantom-0's screen is 5.5"...whereas the flagship model is 7". However though, given the flagship's enormous price-tag, I think the big Fantom's display size is more of a disappointment( for that price range, Roland should have included a video output port like they do with their flagship arrangers.) Honestly for the Fantom-0's very modest price-tag, you are getting access to just about every flagship sound source(minus the V-Piano and certain N-Zyme sound libraries)...if my memory serves. Keep in mind as well, that this new Fantom series is the successor to the old FA-series(which had major disappointments on it) and the Fantom-0 is the same price as the former FA! My old Korg M3's display was an inch smaller than the Fantom(along with a lot of menu-diving)...but it did not stop me from enjoying it.) As for the key-bed, I am a bit concerned about it....but then, I don't imagine that the Nautilus is much better(if at all) and the Nautilus is more money.
In many regards FA is a vastly superior board to the Fantom-0. Certainly the latter has modern innovation but everything from SN, to Sequencing and wider sound palette hits home on the FA. Zencore is crippled immensely by the loss of the additional 2 BMC. Nobody is going to claim the full Fantom is a waste, that's hyperbolic nonsense from people who shouldn't be buying instruments in this range if they are that ignorant. Polyphony problems hamper the 0 considerably (if you have any clue what you're doing). Most of my useful links are Japanese but if you want a 'western' review of similar go and listen to what Darrick Keels has to say about the issues the boards have. The main positive of the Korgs is that they do not suffer in this area. If you've got an FA keep it. They are the most popular gigging board in Japan by a massive margin. Fantom-0 doesn't even really sell to be quite honest.
1:55 to 2:35 that's absolutley beautiful, is that something you wrote? Kinda reminds me of Drops of Jupiter by Train, but just a little, it has some chords in there that are in that song, but I guess that's just how music is lol. I love your playing, you remind me a lot of my piano teacher who unfortunately is no longer with us😔😔 but it brings a smile to my face to know that I'll think of him whenever I come to your channel, so THAT I thank you for🙏🙏
@@hillaryknox I loooooove that song😎 Thanks for taking me back to one of the best eras of music, well at least imo! Hope you have an excellent day and sweet dreams🙏🙏
Kronos is about a 3 minute boot up. I understand the Nautilus is the same OS. I've heard about hacks you can perform on the Kronos but it doesnt speed up the load time. People state that the Kronos runs on a Linux based OS.
@@DrKeyz777 that is very odd,the Yamaha montage or the fairly new Roland phantom which are similar workstations don’t take that long,wonder why korg doesn’t address this problem?,I know they should be able to fix this.
some nifty playing, thank you: in the Korg official video manuals that they just released, the voice instructions are 10 times louder than the music being played, and that is a problem.
@@WoodyPianoShack you did fine, maybe Korg should hire YOU! lol....I have the Kronos2 61key....admittingly, I rarely actually play it's keybed, as I normally trigger it's sounds from my 88 key Motif, which is my master keyboard, mostly due to it's superior sequencer.
@@peterldelong best keyboard on the market for sure, at least in my opinion. I have the Kronos X 73 key but I was really thinking about trading it in and paying whatever the remainder is on an 88 key Kronos 2. I know I can upgrade the software and all but it's just the fact that I don't have the newest and best version that's all🤣🤣🤣 I know you understand lol
What's the boot time like? I had a Kronos but found it way too deep and the boot time sucks, which is a pet hate of mine. Apparently in the Kronos you could upgrade the PC inside to boot faster. I think a synth like this is designed to be your only synth, hence the depth.
I don’t get it why people wining about the boot time,is not like you playing with the boot on off.Turn it in advance before the show and turn it off when done.
Right around 5:12 the drums go out of sync with the patterns - I had this same problem with the Korg Krome AND with the Korg Karma. I was really hoping they fixed the out of tempo sync problem that seems to happen in certain programs and combis.
What is the position of the Nautilus? With the simple interface it looks more like a follow-up to the Krome than the Kronos. The Kronos also has a lot more in and outputs.

I'll just stick with a good hardware sequencer, and add modules as needed. Thanks for sharing with us, and take care friend.
pizza grand piano is nice
Piano sound are great. Other sounds- no decision yet.
Dance loop kit?
pianos sound superb...how's the synth keys? premium or average...
big step above average, but not quite the best premium? very subjective...
@@WoodyPianoShack How do they feel in comparison to the FSX keybed in Montage? Lighter? More plastic?
I was so thrilled when I first became aware of the existence of the Nautilus( as I had always dreamed of a cheaper version of the Kronos I could never afford.) When it became available for preorder, I ordered one....but the arrival dates got pushed back so many times, I became fed up & canceled my preorder and as it turned out, it was the best decision. Though I was hungry for the Nautilus's display screen & sounds( after having so many disappointments with the Krome)...well, over time....I began to realize how cheap & inadequate the physical controls of the Nautilus really were & are(along with a price point that really didn't make much sense, due to how scaled down it is,in some areas.) I just could not justify making my finances difficult with bearing the burden of $183 per month for a year, just for a 61 key that had less knobs & buttons than a Casio keyboard.
Then a few days ago...the new Roland Fantom-0 series came about and it is twice the keyboard workstation that the Nautilus is(in many respects.) Even more amazing, is that the 61-key model is $700 less!!
The new Fantom is so extraordinary for the money, that I have read numerous complaints from flagship Fantom users that felt that they wasted an extra $2,000(when they could have had pretty much the same thing for $2,000 less.)
I'm sure it's inevitable that you will get your hands on one fairly soon and I am confident that you'll agree...that the Fantom is the most value-priced keyboard workstation ever created. I have one of preorder & I must say, I have NEVER been this excited about a hardware workstation before!
great points, I hope to try one myself of course. yes, it is crammed with nice features and those epic roland sounds. my only concern is the touchscreen which looks small and cramped in the demos, and the build quailty and keys (both of which are exceptional on big Fantom)
@@WoodyPianoShack Yes....the Roland Fantom-0's screen is 5.5"...whereas the flagship model is 7". However though, given the flagship's enormous price-tag, I think the big Fantom's display size is more of a disappointment( for that price range, Roland should have included a video output port like they do with their flagship arrangers.) Honestly for the Fantom-0's very modest price-tag, you are getting access to just about every flagship sound source(minus the V-Piano and certain N-Zyme sound libraries)...if my memory serves. Keep in mind as well, that this new Fantom series is the successor to the old FA-series(which had major disappointments on it) and the Fantom-0 is the same price as the former FA! My old Korg M3's display was an inch smaller than the Fantom(along with a lot of menu-diving)...but it did not stop me from enjoying it.) As for the key-bed, I am a bit concerned about it....but then, I don't imagine that the Nautilus is much better(if at all) and the Nautilus is more money.
In many regards FA is a vastly superior board to the Fantom-0. Certainly the latter has modern innovation but everything from SN, to Sequencing and wider sound palette hits home on the FA. Zencore is crippled immensely by the loss of the additional 2 BMC. Nobody is going to claim the full Fantom is a waste, that's hyperbolic nonsense from people who shouldn't be buying instruments in this range if they are that ignorant. Polyphony problems hamper the 0 considerably (if you have any clue what you're doing). Most of my useful links are Japanese but if you want a 'western' review of similar go and listen to what Darrick Keels has to say about the issues the boards have. The main positive of the Korgs is that they do not suffer in this area.
If you've got an FA keep it. They are the most popular gigging board in Japan by a massive margin. Fantom-0 doesn't even really sell to be quite honest.
1:55 to 2:35 that's absolutley beautiful, is that something you wrote? Kinda reminds me of Drops of Jupiter by Train, but just a little, it has some chords in there that are in that song, but I guess that's just how music is lol. I love your playing, you remind me a lot of my piano teacher who unfortunately is no longer with us😔😔 but it brings a smile to my face to know that I'll think of him whenever I come to your channel, so THAT I thank you for🙏🙏

@@hillaryknox I loooooove that song😎
Thanks for taking me back to one of the best eras of music, well at least imo! Hope you have an excellent day and sweet dreams🙏🙏
How long does it take for the Nautilus to boot up? The Kronos takes forever to boot up from what I understand.
Kronos is about a 3 minute boot up. I understand the Nautilus is the same OS. I've heard about hacks you can perform on the Kronos but it doesnt speed up the load time. People state that the Kronos runs on a Linux based OS.
@@DrKeyz777 geez 3 min? That seems awfully long.
@@robertmichalscheck3072 Everyone complains about the same thing, lol.
@@robertmichalscheck3072 The M3 is about that long as well.
@@DrKeyz777 that is very odd,the Yamaha montage or the fairly new Roland phantom which are similar workstations don’t take that long,wonder why korg doesn’t address this problem?,I know they should be able to fix this.
I think your video editor has an effect to skew the image. It looks like it was used by accident....
happy accident, well at least i think so!
I admire a man who can go from Zedd to Bach.
LOL, I admire a fella or lady who notices such things
Do they do 88 version?
some nifty playing, thank you: in the Korg official video manuals that they just released, the voice instructions are 10 times louder than the music being played, and that is a problem.
thank you, i take a lot of effort to balance the voice and synth, how did I do in your opinion?
in my other nautilus video :D
@@WoodyPianoShack you did fine, maybe Korg should hire YOU! lol....I have the Kronos2 61key....admittingly, I rarely actually play it's keybed, as I normally trigger it's sounds from my 88 key Motif, which is my master keyboard, mostly due to it's superior sequencer.
No aftertouch on a machine like this? I didn't thought cutting costs on the afterouch would be possible...
Yes, no aftertouch on an over $2000 US synth is mad. Glad I have a Kronos 2 that is paid for.
@@peterldelong best keyboard on the market for sure, at least in my opinion. I have the Kronos X 73 key but I was really thinking about trading it in and paying whatever the remainder is on an 88 key Kronos 2. I know I can upgrade the software and all but it's just the fact that I don't have the newest and best version that's all🤣🤣🤣 I know you understand lol
As good as a used Kronos 1???
Magnifique
Despite the new Roland fantom o I’m still very tempted by the Korg🤔
Can we hear the sound of winds sax flutura etc.
noted.
Lovely riffs as usual, how can I get out of my "white note" jamming cell?
um, not sure I understand you?
Stings sounds not bad at all.
What's the boot time like? I had a Kronos but found it way too deep and the boot time sucks, which is a pet hate of mine. Apparently in the Kronos you could upgrade the PC inside to boot faster. I think a synth like this is designed to be your only synth, hence the depth.
you turn it on in advance of when you need it, then go do something else, put the kettle on, brew a cuppa, then it is usually ready. :D
I don’t get it why people wining about the boot time,is not like you playing with the boot on off.Turn it in advance before the show and turn it off when done.
Great piece of hardware, but the MODX still is the best bang for the buck.
got a video coming soon where we'll discuss what you get for the extra $500, and what you lose out on :)
Thank you for this enlightement.
Conclusion: Waiting for a appreciate Kronos follower.
Super démo merci 👍😎
Musicalement 🗼
just love this video. love your playing and enthusiasm! I would love to get the 88key version of this... one day 8) thanks!
Now that Nautilus is the flagship, the decision to not include aftertouch was just ridiculous.
Is it correct that you can upgrade the non AT models?
Right around 5:12 the drums go out of sync with the patterns - I had this same problem with the Korg Krome AND with the Korg Karma. I was really hoping they fixed the out of tempo sync problem that seems to happen in certain programs and combis.
Very nice ... Curious, what's the song title playing at 1:57?
What is the position of the Nautilus? With the simple interface it looks more like a follow-up to the Krome than the Kronos. The Kronos also has a lot more in and outputs.
Thanks for the demo. Does it have styles like a Genos or other arranger keyboards?
no anthony, although the built-in drums arps can get you similar sounding results, but you don't have same control of the chords and variations.
What model of Nautilus do you have, Woody? The 61, 73 or 88?
