Korg NAUTILUS - All Playing, No Talking Sound Demo

In this video we explore a variety of sounds across the program and combination banks on NAUTILUS. The sounds on NAUTILUS were designed with three broad categories in mind: Standard sounds, that provide all of the most important instruments you need to cover any genre. Current sounds, which focus on cutting-edge modern music production, and Unique sounds, which draw upon completely new sampling and programming techniques to deliver never-before-heard instruments, layers, live-recorded phrases, and much more.

Yet again here's Korg doing demos the right way, all playing, no talking.

[@bertenqvist7324]

There´s a step further; no playing and no talking just pictures

[@Jason75913]

Watch them put on a demonstrator with explanations next time. So I can laugh at you and your complaints then.

[@scottmmontoya]

Definitely appeals to a player more than someone who is only interested

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

Yeah but the demo sucks😂

[@hienvu1714]

​@@robertmichalscheck3072 we'd all love to see you do it! :)

[@poweruser64]

Everyone's talking about the synth and not the musician. Hats off to whoever learned and played all that!

[@lucimine]

Thank you very much! Appreciate the feedback!

[@DoctorNemmo]

I enjoyed this demo both as a synthesizer demo and for the music itself. Well played. Literally.

[@guppukaur8173]

Kudos to the musician ! What a great multi-genre playing

[@etpslick100]

Never was really a Korg person. Was turned off after the M50 was discontinued. This keyboard sounds pretty good. My hats to the player. He’s great! (Maybe that’s why I like the keyboard.🤨🎶👍🏾)

[@thef4lsepr0phet]

Yeah I still use my M50, still works great but now I want one of these

[@warrenbeatty9582]

I had a M50 with 88 keys. Loved that board.

[@artursoczka5000]

I have still my m50 but may be is time to buy nautilus… piano sounds great 😃

[@Jason75913]

M50 has the better interface, sadly. They gimped the Nautilus in favor of more clunky menu diving for some of the simplest, most basic fuctions. I hate using it, otherwise, I love the sounds and overall sound quality. Not buying, ya dun goofed again, Korg.

[@AzureBlu10]

A joy to watch and hear! Oh my goodness, Korg!

[@digitaldiezel5870]

Korg is always impressive! Best sample based sounds!

Great demo! Congratulation! One of the greatest synth by Korg!

[@TheCoolProfessor]

Such beautiful music brought to life by Korg.

[@jamisonc7500]

That was some of the most amazing playing I’ve ever heard. I want this now and I’ve never even heard of it!

[@lucimine]

Thank you!! The positive feedback is much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed!

[@adrianfundescu5407]

Very good.You are the ideal supplier of cheap new stuff on Ebay;-)).I love you guys.Keep it coming...

[@Dylan-Juhan]

That first demo sounded like Han Zimmer's score from the movie Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron Immediately interested in the keyboard after that

[@geekbleek]

@@lucimine would you mind sharing if you had any inspiration the Japanese upright section at 8:00 was based on? Absolutely loved it and want to learn it - really emphasized the emotion the sample provided!

Exellent Selection... working the KORG SOUND distinctive character🥇💯🖌️

[@danieldougan269]

My God, that Movie Scenes sound is incredible. Don't get me wrong, I love my Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-650, but this thing is not just on a different level but in a different galaxy.

[@joshuaswannmusic6462]

Lol your comment gave me the good chills while hearing the movie sample.

[@ispianist]

I agree. After watching this I am considering trading my Yamaha Cp88 for this.

[@ErraticFaith]

They are of course very different devices. If you own a Yamaha CP88 then it is a dedicated digital Piano. One with a top of the line acoustic-sim action. To be clear, this is a key action that is suitable for advanced classical repertoire and whilst lacking in some small areas (compared to a much heavier device) it's considered one of the best in class here. Compared to Korg - they come nowhere close to what the Yamaha offers you in Piano recreation. Thats the point. The Korg Nautilus on the other hand is a slighly cheaper and modified release of the prior Korg flagship 'Kronos 2'. Which needs no introduction. It is a full music workstation. 9 engines designed to give you everything you need in a single box to approach different genres and uses. It has MANY things that the CP88 does not. That all said the CP88 and Nautilus are NOT in the same range of instrument. You CANNOT grade in classical music on the Nautilus. Even with the x8 88 key. It simply lacks the keybed. Which is where Yamaha invested. As a stage PIANO. That is it's 'extreme' focus. Everything it is was focused on that. So if you do NOT need a top of the line PIANO action; and instead would like a multi-purpose SYNTH keyboard - then yes Nautilus would serve you well. Inline with Modx and Fantom-0. Although I have my bias I would say each have their pro's and cons. Nautilus - no hands on control and some people 'hate' menu diving on touch screens (they'd prefer laptops and software). The Modx has amazing sounds - but its build suffers somewhat and it's very deep for some people (too much). The Fantom-0 has great hands on controls and interaction with DAW. It's main appeal is as a central hub. Much like the larger version. That said what they gain in controls, they lose somewhat in the versatile engines, memory, sequencing and build (assuming cheaper version). So it really is up to you. Like choosing between Pepsi, Cola or Pepper. You decide which suits you best!

[@ispianist]

@ErraticFaith if you are looking strictly for key bed action I would not recommend the cp88. The key bed action is far from an acoustic piano. I own it. I also ownt the studiologic numa x piano gt. That one beats the cp88 out of the water. Feels very close to steinway piano. I highly recommend it If you are looking for best key action.

[@ErraticFaith]

I use one every day. It’s not an action for everyone but it is vastly superior to the KORGs which is why it can be used right up to mid-tier formal grading. I doubt most people playing nautilus practice classical composition to that standard however. It’s only really bested by the Kawai grand feel in terms of performance for high speed pieces. Something like the KORG Rh3 is too slow. That’s why it’s barred from formal examination. Much after that you need a proper acoustic piano.

[@Keystuddio]

Из всех рабочих станций, этот меня покорил реально) Респект Коргу!

[@michaelgreen2283]

Have just bought one of these, having been a dedicated Yamaha player. First impressions, very powerful instrument, good keybed. Piano, strings, organs,synths etc, incredible sounds, very adjustable. Woodwinds not so good but I've got those covered with my Genos. Overall, delighted with it.

[@blakeh6250]

So good for live stage play??

[@Donetur]

I also got one of these. I find it the best rompler I have had since Kurzweil k2661, I am having a lot of fun out of it. I have owned Yamaha Motif ES, Roland Fantom X, Korg Triton LE, Korg TR, Korg N364, Roland Juno G and Nord Stage 3 (I will exclude the VA and analog synths of this list). The best of that list to me are Kurzweil k2661, Korg Nautilus, and Nord Stage 3.

[@ErraticFaith]

Live stage play really comes down to the demands of what and how, than it does the board being good enough. Mainly because very few of us use a single board option in those scenarios. For one its good to have a backup board anyway and on the other, the vast range of sounds required makes it far safer to just move between tiers than mess with one device. So in other words you'll have numerous bases covered on different devices. One of which could easily be a nautilus. Likely the only reason people might avoid it in that setting is the lack of real time controls over something like the Fantom-0. Which of course most people are aware has sliders, pads and numerous other onboard hardware. Comparatively the Korg is limited to its touch screen. Which might not be ideal on the stage for a good few people. If you're like me and pre-prepare everything - which applies just as much to boards like the modx as the Nautilus - then it might not affect you either way. People are using a lot of master boards as hubs these days. Integrated with DAWs and a host of other devices. Things like the Fantom have really been designed with that in mind, rather than a do-everything board. If people want to have a nautilus with the hands-on controls, it can be worth seeking out a second hand Kronos 2 which has those additions of course. But it comes at quite the cost of late with so few on the second hand market. Might not be worth it to everyone.

[@wireguy123]

Love mine...Heavy AF and if you have to reboot on stage..take a break

[@sarbaazchabahar]

Korg = Always on top of the food chain✌️👍🎹

[@johnryan3374]

Korg has such unique sounds.

[@ritaduffy8622]

I own a Nautilus I just love the the styles you can play on it

[@jarodgregor6682]

I have a KORG T3 and it 's only problem in 25 years was the replacement of the floppy disk drive, Yes that was the way of storing sequences then. I put it away for the most part after I bought a Motif 6 which also still works today. But even back then the Korg atmospheric sounds , pads, saxes and strings were amazing. I'm going to be moving soon into a house with a big/family/music room so I think I will get the Nautilus.

[@sojimani7616]

I realised that the sounds will only shine when anyone plays on it better. Well playing (to whom played it).

[@user-qj8cg1bf5u]

Awesome sequence board of Korg Keyboard....

[@555ontario]

At first I thought this was a Kronos replacement but after watching another video I realize this more of a mid class offering and not the 'high end' Kronos replacement. When that board comes out I would have to think it won't be an easy board to suplant. Perhaps it will have less load up time, a better piano sound, have an easier menu to edit along with more intuitive sampling, be a little lighter in weight and of course, update some of the accompmaniments to reflect the times. Otherwise, the Kronos has set the standard and that standard is high.

[@mdqgomes]

Great musicianship! I just love that first voice "Movie scenes A120" (0:14 - 1:07), although I am confused by the title "Unique" as I wonder if this voice is a "Preset" in Program or Combination Mode from the factory, or a voice from a separate/alternate sound bank. A beautiful sounding instrument. I just ordered a Nautilus last week and cannot wait until it arrives.
