Introduced as Korg's flagship workstation with aftertouch sensitivity right out of the box, this 61-key model takes the acclaimed Nautilus lineup to new expressive heights, letting you shape sounds dynamically just by varying pressure on the keys.
Its nine powerful synthesis engines, drawn from the legendary Kronos, deliver up to 200-voice polyphony across pianos, organs, synths, and more, with a massive 60GB SSD for sound libraries and seamless sampling—record external audio via two balanced 1/4" inputs, resample outputs, or load USB samples. The light-touch, semi-weighted synth-action keybed spans C to C with velocity and aftertouch support, paired with a responsive 7-inch WVGA touchscreen for intuitive navigation, setlist mode for live gigs, and hands-on controls like a four-axis joystick, Dynamics knob for velocity response tweaks, six real-time knobs for filter cutoff or arp tempo, plus quick-assign buttons, damper pedal, and assignable switches. A 16-track MIDI sequencer, 16-track 24-bit/48kHz audio recorder, arpeggiator, drum track with 1,000 user patterns, and 197 effect types including 32 EQs round out the studio-in-a-box power, all in a compact Japanese-built chassis measuring 41.81 x 15.20 x 4.57 inches.
Players love how the aftertouch unlocks vivid, responsive performances on tuned programs, praising the streamlined workflow and vast sound palette for both stage and studio—though some note the light keybed favors synth work over heavy piano action.
