Korg Nautilus AT 61-Key Digital Performance Workstation with Aftertouch

The Korg Nautilus AT 61 is a flagship digital performance workstation, serving as the successor to the renowned Kronos series. It is a comprehensive music production instrument that combines a professional keyboard with powerful synthesis, sequencing, and effects capabilities in a single unit. The 'AT' designation specifically refers to the inclusion of aftertouch technology in its 61-key keyboard, allowing for enhanced expression through pressure sensitivity after the initial key press. The workstation is built around nine distinct sound engines, including the SGX-2 premium piano, EP-1 electric piano, HD-1 PCM synthesizer, AL-1 analog modelling synth, CX-3 tonewheel organ, and specialised physical modelling engines like STR-1 for plucked strings. This provides an extensive palette of sounds for any musical genre. The unit is controlled via a large eight-inch WVGA colour TouchView display, which offers touch-drag parameter control and interactive graphics for intuitive sound editing. It features a 16-track MIDI sequencer for song creation, 16 internal effects processors for sound shaping, and a comprehensive three-band EQ on every channel. The design is finished with luxurious wooden side panels for a premium feel. This workstation is ideally suited for performing musicians, studio producers, and composers who require a versatile, all-in-one instrument for live performance and music production. The aftertouch keyboard and smooth sound transition feature make it particularly expressive for dynamic playing, while the deep sequencing and sound design tools cater to detailed studio work. It fits into both professional touring rigs and home studio setups, serving as a central hub for controlling external gear via its comprehensive MIDI connectivity or for creating complete musical arrangements internally.
