Korg Nautilus 61 Aftertouch, Grey

Full Description

Expressive aftertouch control

With the Korg Nautilus 61, aftertouch is at your fingertips, providing enhanced control over your sound. Whether you're pushing the limits of a synth lead or gently coaxing a delicate piano note, the aftertouch function responds to the subtle pressure of your touch. This gives you a deeper connection to your playing and more creative options for expression during performances or recordings. Perfect for live use, this feature helps musicians unlock a new dimension of sonic creativity.

The aftertouch feature is ideal for musicians looking for more expressive options, especially during dynamic performances where every touch and pressure counts.

Nine unique sound engines

The Nautilus 61 features nine powerful sound engines, each specialising in a different area of synthesis and sound creation. From the lifelike expressiveness of the SGX-2 piano engine to the raw analogue power of the MS-20EX and PolysixEX, this workstation can cover every musical style and sound you need. Classic tonewheel organ sounds, electric pianos, and even FM synthesis are all at your disposal, allowing you to explore a wide range of sonic possibilities without the need for external equipment.

Performance-ready set list mode

The Set List mode on the Nautilus makes it easy to organise your sounds and settings for live performances. With 16 touch-screen buttons that you can colour-code, you can quickly access different presets, combinations, or sequences mid-performance. The nine-band graphic EQ allows you to tailor the sound to match the acoustics of your venue.

This mode is especially helpful when transitioning between different songs or sections of a performance, ensuring that your live setup is smooth and streamlined. With this feature, you can stay focused on your performance, knowing that your setup is ready to respond instantly and effortlessly.

Seamless transitions and powerful sequencing

The Korg Nautilus 61 provides smooth sound transitions, eliminating glitches or dropouts when switching between sounds during a live set. This ensures that performances remain uninterrupted, allowing you to focus on the music. Additionally, the built-in 16-track MIDI and audio sequencer enables you to capture and arrange complex compositions with ease. The sequencing capabilities, combined with a robust effects section and sampling system, give you the tools to create polished tracks in any environment.
