Description
Korg Nautilus AT 88
In contrast to the standard model, the NAUTILUS AT is equipped with an additional aftertouch function that allows you to add lively modulations to played sounds by applying pressure to the keys again. To support this particularly expressive playing style, all of the NAUTILUS AT’s sound programs have been optimized for its aftertouch functionality, allowing the full potential of its nine powerful sound engines to be unleashed.
The sounds of the Japanese-made synthesizer are divided into three important categories, giving the instrument a distinctive character with « standard », « current » and « unique » sounds. The latest generation of processors gets far more out of the nine advanced sound engines than has ever been possible before. The SGX-2 piano sound engine, familiar from the KRONOS, has been expanded in the NAUTILUS to include additional grand piano sounds. In addition to adjusting string resonances as desired and grading them into 12 different velocity levels, it also offers the option of changing the hall acoustics of the instrument in question. The SGX-2 and all other sound engines, such as the EP-1 electric piano engine, the CX-3 drawbar engine, the HD-1 PCM engine, the MS-20EX analog modeling engine, the PolysixEX modeling engine, the AL-1 analog modeling engine, the MOD-7 VPM/FM sound engine, and the STR-1 physical modeling engine, as well as all associated parameters, can be optimally configured via the 7″ TouchView display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution or via the retractable knobs in the control panel.
A polyphonic arpeggiator with over 1,500 presets, a drum track with over 1,200 patterns and a step sequencer are available in every mode and enhance your performances in combination with the new sounds in a contemporary way. All settings can be configured perfectly for live use, saved and recalled later in Set List mode. An indispensable function in live operation.
The total of 16 effects processors and the 3-band EQ for each individual track are also easy to access thanks to the new operating concept. The expressiveness of a sound can also be perfectly adjusted to the respective requirement using the separate Dynamics control in the control panel. In this way, sounds can be played in an instant either very dynamically and elegantly or punchily with less dynamic range in order to assert themselves more effectively.
In addition, the instrument comes with a download code for an extensive and free range of additional software. The KORG Software Bundle contains, among other things, the « Ozone Elements » software from iZotope, a trial subscription for the « Skoove » online piano school, as well as software synthesizers from KORG and other manufacturers.
