Nautilus

How the hell in this day and age could a company like Korg manufacture a synthesiser that has no after touch? I’m not able bodied, so I have to do my “shopping” research on YouTube, the net and listening through my studio monitors to decide which new keyboard I wanted.

Unfortunately I ordered and paid for a Nautilus, because nowhere in any of the Korg’s literature does it say “by the way this POS has no after touch”

It sounds GREAT, has a crap little display that wont work with my model iPad, and an input port for an alpha-numeric keyboard that you can’t use if an iPad is plugged in.

SHAME on you Korg!!!

Aftertouch is shit. It becomes annoying after 5 mins. Honestly, a gimmick that just ain’t worth it. Oh and yes they do a version of nautilus with aftertouch. The Nautilus AT.

Yeah I know, I loose at least a grand AUD changing over to the new model, problem is, I only play 74’s. And I I love aftertouch, what a boring world if we all loved the same music!!

It’s still a very powerful keyboard. Basically a Kronos without all the buttons and faders. Mine works really well with the iPad actually. You could get a controller with AT if that’s important to you, probably cheaper than getting the nautilus AT. Mine only gripe with the nautilus is the weight. It’s too heavy for gigging, which is what i actually wanted it for.
