Korg Nautilus 61 Music Workstation
The Korg Nautilus is a professional music workstation that has a wide variety of sounds, integrated editing, a detailed 7″ TouchView display with gesture support, a 16-track sequencer, a 16-track audio recorder, and extensive sampling capabilities. The Korg Nautilus has nine different sound engines, each of which is responsible for accurately simulating a particular instrument type, such as vintage keyboard sounds, ethnic instruments, tone-wheel organs, plucked instruments, analog synthesizers, detailed pianos, and more.
The sequencer can access any combination of sound engines and imported samples, and the 16-track audio recorder can be used for recording vocals, other instruments, and more. The sound architecture offers a two-part split along with a single drum track in a single program, which when combined with the 16-part combination mode, makes for a massive sound and sequencing power house. The Dynamic Polyphony Allocation and Smooth Sound Transition provides uninterrupted playing and sound switching.
The Korg Nautilus features nine completely different synthesis engines:
- Three types of keyboard sound generators: SGX-2 (acoustic piano), EP-1 (electric piano), CX-3 (tonewheel organ)
- Three types of virtual analog synthesizer sound generators: AL-1, MS-20EX, PolysixEX
- PCM synthesizer sound generator with advanced functionality: HD-1
- Physical modeling synthesizer for string hammering/plucking sounds: STR-1
- VPM/FM synthesizer sound generator with advanced functionality: MOD-7
Each synthesis engine has enough functionality to operate as a standalone synthesizer

Set Lists provide easy on-screen selection of Programs, Combinations, and Songs from a single screen. Smooth Sound Transitions (SST) provide overlapping effects and voices when you change sounds, with no special mode necessary
Effects
The Nautilus comes with 197 types of professional-grade effects that offer a stunning range of freedom, including chorus, delay, reverb, amp models, vocoders, and more
Arpeggiator

Sampling
Audio signals coming through the analog inputs can be sampled in stereo. You can also add the built-in effects when sampling, or even resample the programs or combinations. The Nautilus can also import sound files in various formats
Audio and MIDI Sequencer
The sequencer provides 16 MIDI tracks and 16 audio tracks (24-bit, 48 kHz) for composing and producing your own music. You can import and export SMF and WAVE files when working with other platforms
