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

[@charthers8903]

Red Dwarf ❤❤

[@Transterra55]

Korg has such distinctive sounds.

[@blue_cloud7]

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

[@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.

One of the most fun videos on the channel! The Nautilus is extremely underrated, and hated on by synth elitists which we're all tired of.

[@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 !!

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)

An update to Luke's 14:02 mention of setlists "they gave away a while ago. I found out eventually what he was referring to. It's a "Free Online Masterclass and Ultimate Synth Selection Software for Korg Nautilus", which was a time-limited, location-limited opportunity for fresh Nautilus owners to get these setlists, alongside what I can only imagine as Luke's masterful deep-dive into the instrument. It cannot be purchased anywhere since all this came on a USB stick. Anyhow, I would love to ask Korg, Luke, Andertons Keyboard department, and all deities who have control over this to make these available, free or for purchase! Thank you :)

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

[@germanshepherdlover2613]

A light weight smaller form factor Nautilus would be great...similar size and weight as the Krome 61 but with a better keybed :)

[@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.

[@Denvermorgan2000]

🤩 wow.

[@olivergroves2007]

Da da Dee da da da ❤

[@tehedx]

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

[@coleman6erg]

I wonder if Korg might ever bring back the N series engine in the way that they’ve brought back so many of their classics?There’s an EP patch on the N1/N1R/N5EX that nails the “sustain pedal rod’s on too tight” sound, funkiest thing I’ve ever heard coming out of a Korg.

[@scottbowman4844]

Donkey Kong Country underwater and cave levels anyone?

[@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?

[@davewolf1180]

Oasys rules!

[@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]

[@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?

[@Spidouz]

Korg is so much behind the curve when it comes to software… look at what Roland did with Galaxias, they released all their major synth and workstation of the past… Korg could definitely release a AU/VST version of the Kronos with Karma, and with 01/W engine. That’s not rocket surgery…

[@juliebabygirl]

@@Spidouz Exactly! Korg, bring it on!!

[@KyoKusanagi-ep3kp]

[@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!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@sashaalexander1833]

Sorry, I'm an idiot: where can i get this engine/sounds?

[@wireguy123]

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

[@juliebabygirl]

When KORG 01/w????

[@Spidouz]

At this point, Korg should simply release Korg Collection 6 with the Kronos and KARMA… just follow what’s Roland is doing with Galaxias and build a workstation controller with real controls such faders, knobs, pads, touchscreen, capable to have full control on the AU/VST Kronos… like Akai is doing with their MPC Keys 61.

[@curious011]

So, they need to suck just like Roland Cloud? A lot of people play live and they do NOT want computers on stage.

[@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?

[@curious011]

What is new that you need.? We have maxed out the current tech. not only in keyboards but in everything.

[@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.

[@Jason75913]

​@@sonickitchen "multitimbrality" Never went out of style. 🤦‍♀️

[@thespian1961]

Literally.........

[@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

[@curious011]

And if they gave you all of that you would then complain about something else.

[@caleb5780]

[@tonikeys]

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

[@spada60]

Awww…poor guy

[@curious011]

There's really no evidence of that unless you mean they took away sliders-if you dig into it though, it sounds better than the Kronos, is much more up to date on music styles and has new sounds coming out for it. What else do you want? The polyphony is much better than on Roland and more effects than the Yamaha. Notes don't really drop very much and you can sound 90% of most VSTS. Not sure how that is backwards.

[@keycalmusic]

Dope keyboard but not like my kronos2

[@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.

[@DoriKei]

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

[@BitsBytesBobs]

Yes. As Korg are the owner of the copyright of the sound. Which is then licensed when you buy the instrument for your use.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@curious011]

some people play live. no time to wrestle with a computer live.

[@Spidouz]

I love Korg’s mental gymnastics marketing to claim it’s a revolution to have old sounds on this new bad keyboard that is even worse than the Kronos that was already an outdated underpowered Intel Celeron computer running Linux… the User Interface is stuck in the ‘90s, using MB of sounds when you can get sound libraries with GB of sounds… even TB of sounds for big bundle such Komplete Ultimate. I know there’s always an interest into using old sounds into new productions, but we can already do that for over a decade with Korg Collection… Also, if you need to add a small controller on top of your keyboard to control your sounds, it means your keyboard is badly designed… it lacks faders, pads and so on. Korg really falls behind, they haven’t innovate anything for over 15 years now.

[@curious011]

the internet thugs are so toxic.

[@ahojahojish]

I really enjoy my Nautilus but still....Kronos just sounds better. I bet its because the Kronos has a better DAC.

[@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!

[@curious011]

What else is there to do? You could buy a Roland or Yamaha but what have they done? Nothing at all really. new sounds, new casing and they added things a Kronos had in 2011. I'm not sure what you mean.

[@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

[@curious011]

oh well. you will miss out on a great board. Not that the Yamaha is not really good as well. Sounds like you just prefer Yamaha.

The Kronos is also an emulator albeit a standalone, in comparison its sequencer compared the the MPC Keys is absolutely pathetic, Korg are literally releasing very old technology in this keyboard, but don’t get me wrong it sounds lovely I just don’t see the value at the price point.

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.
