90s Soundtrack Secret is Back in the Korg Nautilus - Free Synth Update!

[@chillwalker]

Boooaaahhh..Goosebumbs...Slave to the rythm!

[@goldenstarafar]

Brings me back to the days of incandescent light bulbs, old rotary telephones, blind date on the telly, cigarette haze across the ceiling coming from the dinner table with friends family around playing risk, while we slid down the stairs in sleeping bags, and finally, Chinese takeaway and red dwarf to finish off the evening

[@DNGMaestro]

Sounds from the past in an incredibly archaic menu and operating system.

[@trstack]

Yeah…I had a Korg T3 and later a Kronos after 3 Yamaha Motif’s. The U/I needs some serious updating. I’m now VERY happy with my Montage M8x.

[@blue_cloud7]

Luke from Korg... Legend ... 🎹🎹🎹🎹😀😀😀 Happy New Year gentlemen!!! 👍🏻🎉🎉🎉

[@charthers8903]

The beautiful M1 and Wavestation are on the Nautilus - I love this thing

[@cnfuzz]

It went under the ice 70 years ago

[@opticalman6417]

save your money and get vsts

[@MaxCardwell-y7k]

Slave to the rhythm . Grace Jones Stunning preset

[@craigsg01]

Love the "Slave to the Rhythm" vibes !

[@Transterra55]

Korg has such distinctive sounds.

[@dougie6897]

6 min 7 seconds… that’s Slave to the Rhythm I believe… It was released in October 1985 … the genius Steve Lipson used the Fairlight extensively. The chords Db/F and Eb/G with the patch in 5 ths sound spot on !!

[@cassisbrook]

You know your stuff! 🎉

[@fulcrumspigot455]

I agree nothing to do with M1 or WS.

[@rodcamp4472]

Gotta move those workstations!

[@geevee7823]

The best sounding Workstation Korg ever made is often overlooked, the Trinity.

[@Wolfbabypuppylove]

had one sold it regret it aaaarrrrggh

[@BlueHedgehog12345678]

I agree 100%, I've always said that. And it's better sonically than the Triton. I still have the V3 version at home, a top-notch synth. Together with the Z1, it's a top-notch combination.

[@DJVasC]

Love to see just some really happy gear junkies! Great instrument!

[@abdielvelazquez773]

Best album to really appreciate what the Wavestation was able to do is Jan Hammer’s “Beyond The Mind’s Eye”.

[@eredengrin2013]

Always great to see Mr. Luke Fromkorg!

[@iixorb]

I agree - it's an awesome synth. All that fantastic legacy inside it! I've met Luke a few times and have discussed it with him. Just can't quite stretch to one at the moment... (plus I already own the M1 and the original Wavestation)

[@davebellamy4867]

4:40 Real Prophet-VS vibes there!

[@jerdure]

Wow, amazing board and sounds. How does it compare to the Wavestate in particular ?

[@RJ_Eckie]

Can't believe this doesn't have 24 copyright stikes 😂 some good jams in there

[@DrFrankenolly]

Luke from Korg… ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!

[@renevanderkraats224]

Five minutes with Luke and I'm back clubbing in the '90s 🙂

[@keytronek]

The original Wavestation programs are, in fact, available for the Kronos. Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I got them.

[@rudolfschipper]

I got them too, also can't remember where i got them. Better sounding than on the nautilus imo.

[@JeffPalmer83]

sites.google.com/view/wavestationreloaded/

[@MePeterNicholls]

I’ve had a KORG 01/w since new 1994. Added triton extreme 88 in 2018 And Kronos 2 88 in 2023. So much KORG.

[@jjptech]

Bring back the Kronos!

[@ismaelvizzy7584]

Jack you r a star Watching you

[@malcolmgregoire1019]

Actually there is a Wavestation sound library available for Kronos. It is from Kurt Ader, KApro : EXs89 Wavestation Dreams. It's not free but it has all the Wavestation patches talked about here.

[@jjptech]

Thanks for the heads up, is there something like that for the M1?

[@Naotaku]

Now I suddenly need the Nautilus. BRB, breaking my piggy bank

[@asalvi]

That's awesome !!! I got the nanopad 2 just to use as the matrix stuff but i cannot make it work, can you guys do a video how to set it up or at least the CC codes I need to use please ! Thanks a lot ! Happy new Year !

[@clixbits]

Great Video. Proper Job!

[@tonikeys]

Korg Nautilus, the first ever flagship workstation to be inferior than its predecessor. A step backwards on a 13yr old workstation.

[@juliebabygirl]

Great sounding (as usual) and all.. but when does the KORG 01/w software edition come out?? I can't be the only one craving for it?

[@bertenqvist7324]

I looking forward for next flagship; Korg Trigon

[@jk-pl8cl]

No chance they could of made the screen a little smaller ?? Because the unit it awesome

[@paulhorsley8922]

Great, thank you korg, it’s just a shame my nautilus will take 2 days to switch on now 😅

[@mansuydenis52]

Merci et Bravo à Luke et Bonne Année

[@michaeltait9707]

How do you get the set lists for each sound engines? I can't even find how to search by sound engine.

[@MrMattberry1]

Why isn't this on the kronos?

[@wilkopiano]

Nautilus is incredible bang for buck, however i do think adding the kronos vector joystick back and 16 sample pads from pa5x surely can’t break the bank. They prematurely released nautilus without Aftertouch and the new AT marked up price is too much and no 73 key at model, why?. Still good choice for most. Although these new addons are all available with korg apps an ipad and a usb interface

[@izzy2001able]

having fun!

[@ismaelvizzy7584]

Beautiful and funny!

[@dvamateur]

Where are all the M1 PCM samples and patches from all the card sets? Where are all the Wavestation SR patches?

[@scottbowman4844]

Donkey Kong Country underwater and cave levels anyone?

[@bobfrode]

I have this in my Kronos from 2011? :D

[@Denvermorgan2000]

🤩 wow.

[@olivergroves2007]

Da da Dee da da da ❤

[@tehedx]

It's impossible not to play this tune if you have that patch selected.

[@jordanfrancisco27]

4:40 Jack. Wth are you doing with the vector pad?!?!?!

[@tupaj123]

Luke from Korg is the best!

[@asdf-je5uq]

I love Luke.

[@G00NAGETYA]

Slave to the Rhythm was released in 1985... 🤔

[@Anything.is.Possible]

Still waiting for a real Kronos successor. I guess it’s time to give up on Korg and switch to the Montage m8x

[@alanbutterworth4219]

7min.....Slave to the Rhythm?

[@David_Banner]

I'm not really sure who this keyboard is for? I know it was only a shortish demo. But what does it do that others cannot? Sure it has a Korg library to access, but then what? What is it doing that's new? May be we will see this in future uploads?

[@davewolf1180]

Oasys rules!

[@mjwalters8394]

They " HAD " to discontinue the Kronos ??

[@hificomics]

Right? I still love my Kronos. I'd be curious to know why he said around the 16:20 mark that they "had to discontinue" the Kronos. I briefly had a Nautilus and Kronos at the same time, but kept only the Kronos because I loved the larger screen and more tactile controls/interface. The Nautilus is a nice board and offers good value, I suppose, especially when compared to Montage and Fantom (for example). But, I would love to see them advance the tech and give us back an updated true flagship. Modern processor, new sound engine or two, and please please an updated keybed since the RH3 is like 15+ years old (how about give us triple sensors, better key texture, more usable aftertouch, etc.)

[@ZTAudio]

@@hificomics I can offer some possible insight. The Kronos employed a relatively low powered (by today’s standards) Intel Atom CPU and associated motherboard and chipset. The Atom architecture seemed like a very good way to go at the time, as it was plenty powerful for what Korg wanted to do, and was expected to be on the market for a long time. The Atom CPU line is no longer available, so Korg had to upgrade to something more recent … and more powerful. The extra horsepower opens up some possibilities that were not feasible with the Atom CPU.

[@hificomics]

@@ZTAudio Thanks, and interesting. But now I'm more confused - if they indeed discontinued the Kronos largely because of the Atom CPU issue, why did they continue to use it for the Nautilus? Several google results say the Nautilus is still using an Intel Atom. Or maybe those are wrong? What is the Nautilus using I wonder. Curious! :)

[@ZTAudio]

@ Well, now I’m stumped and/or confused myself. AFAIK, Intel stopped making the Atom right around the time I stopped working for Intel … 2016 or thereabouts.

[@ToastandJam52]

Fantastic keyboard! Pity Korg cannot keep up with production. The Nautilus is constantly out of stock here in Canada. The next expected delivery is June 2025!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rudolfschipper]

I have these original wavestation sounds in my kronos, even better sounding than on the nautilus😉

[@Tupac_Shakur-NL]

where do i find these sounds on my kronos?

[@rudolfschipper]

@Tupac_Shakur-NL got them from a guy on youtube. I try to find him

[@rudolfschipper]

@PJP the postman

[@rudolfschipper]

Wavestation reloaded

[@fulcrumspigot455]

Slave to the rhythm came out in 1985 way before the Wavestation or the M1.

[@sonickitchen]

Ok thanks for letting us know. We can all sleep better now.

[@juliebabygirl]

When KORG 01/w????

[@DarrenJohnMusic]

Can I have this in my Kronos?

[@funk411]

Luke!!!!!!

[@wireguy123]

I think this is the 1st Luke video that he hasnt played the Stranger Things lick😅

[@jspic4907]

Synth manufacturers are working hard to fill us with features we do not need. Just bring back the vintage synths in lightweight, reliable digital form with modern connections and the option of hammer keys, guys. No brainer.

[@sonickitchen]

Too right. Giving it away for free like this or updating it like the Wavestate is terrible. €not).

[@CTBroadfoot]

I’d rather see new technology and innovation rather than constantly trying to recreate vintage synths. Most players need keyboards that do everything well enough, not just vintage synths which by and large have only a few iconic sounds.

[@sonickitchen]

@@CTBroadfoot What new tech do you need? I'm no great player but have pretty much seen it all. There are some aspects of 'vintage' synths that have fallen by the wayside, most notably, multitimbrality and the types of synthesis. There are also many other new boutique or innovative keys or modules out there, at different price points, but not from the big brands. Humbly suggest if this is what you really want then get out there and give 'em a try.

[@wajobu]

OK kids, “Miss Grace Jones…” kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6aymWiMbpemm9Esi=pSCfYUrYWTS75izf

[@thespian1961]

Literally.........

[@arthurallsopp9344]

LOL Let's see how long Korg Supports this thing. Because they left all these Kronos owners in the dust with no repair parts or power supply's.

[@thehobbyistchannel9959]

It's not under rated at all. One of the most best selling keyboard today and yet the most powerful WS for today's and yesterday's music styles.

[@RoyChartier]

You spelled WAVESTATION wrong mate!

[@DoriKei]

OMG. Is it legal? Thanks, friends. Really surprised me. Downloading now.

[@zoomzoom3950]

Cheaper derivative of the Kronos to squeeze more money out of their Kronos investment IMO. When are we going to see a new flagship workstation to replace Kronos? Meanwhile, my Roland Fantom and Korg Pa5X are working great for me while I wait and see what the next generation workstations will be.

[@renatocunha6636]

Korg should made a Nautilus LE, 6KG, a Krome's substitute. Midi level, light, cheaper with the same internal hardware. With the same Nautilus keybed. I'd buy one.

[@stevehofer3482]

Or I could spend $50 and get Wavestation on my $300 iPad.

[@keycalmusic]

Dope keyboard but not like my kronos2

[@opticalman6417]

want sounds like this go for the korg triton vst unless your a giging musician its not worth buying

[@thelibrarian3734]

The piano sounds in that vst are weak compared to the newer models in the Kronos and nautilus.

[@fahimdawer]

This is the most flopped keyboard workstation in the entire history of music workstations.....korg should come up with some slides faders buttons for editing this screen is not enough....this is not Tesla it's a music making machine and people like playing with buttons and tweaking sounds on the go

[@alexmcallister492]

Nautilus is the most unreliable keyboard I ever had . Purchased a used Kronos - problem solved .

[@spada60]

Get a life guy

[@thelibrarian3734]

Why in an age of native instruments would you spend £1400 on this🤔

[@dmajorx]

Korg has NOT done anything “new” or innovative since the Kronos. They even was too lazy and made a Kronos 2 and then another forgettable version that loss features from the previous one. Korg hasn’t been the same since Rich was scooped up by Casio😂. I absolutely love Korg it my preferred Workstation brand but they just stop innovating. They have literally re-released all their old synths of the past like every 2 years. I don’t understand what going on with Korg but they are being left behind giving a bunch of features most people wont use or care about! Sounds really come on Korg dang!

[@D.E.W.MUSIQ_]

Korg missed the mark with the Nautilus. Very disappointing keyboard.

[@SoniSonerOfficial]

:) always same faces same outdated sounds actualy the same synth in different versions over and over like DEJAVU..looks like the major companies make there own end ..iam a musiccian composer sound engineer dj producer vocalist since 1988 my last purrchases was a roland fantom 7 korg PA5x minilogue yamaha montage for my live setup any of this products misses so much things and no updates ...and when there are updates available like roland fantom 7 they press you to pay them 300€ and even then there are technical failures and bugs they are still not fixed and thrust me guys they will never be fixed....thrust my words dont waste your money for this nonsense adverts or unfinished products ..go and buy old gear who have realy a character and enjoy your musical journey ....greetings to alll

[@biubis-zh3zj]

The Korg Nautilus is a very poorly constructed toy and nothing can compare with the Korg Kronos, much less with the motif or montage series from Yamaha. It is an intermediate keyboard.😢😢😢😢😢

[@bartklinkien8548]

Disagreed!

[@dvamateur]

I actually prefer the Nautilus. The Kronos reminds me too much about Open Labs Neko. The screen is just overbearing. I believe Korg had taken a wrong turn with the OASYS. Now they seem to be getting back on track. Maybe at some point they'll abandon Intel Atom architecture in favor of FPGA's, or more proprietary architecture, like Roland and Yamaha did.

[@iixorb]

@@bartklinkien8548. I also disagree! The Nautilus is a well made bit of kit.

[@Echochamber79]

You are talking out of your Butt my friend. I have both the Yamaha M8x and the Nautilus 88 AT. BOTH built very well.

[@Denvermorgan2000]

Wrong 😮😮😮😮😮disagree totally.
