Korg NAUTILUS AT 88-Key Music Workstation with Aftertouch
Brand
KORG
Concert pianists, film composers, and elite live touring keyboardists require an uncompromised, top-tier synthesizer workstation that delivers breathtaking acoustic authenticity and limitless sound design potential on a single interface. Standard digital stage pianos lack deep synthesis modulation, while basic controller keyboards fail to replicate the organic physical resistance of a grand piano action. The Korg NAUTILUS AT 88-Key Flagship Synthesizer Workstation masterfully destroys these creative limitations. By fusing nine specialized hardware sound engines, Korg’s premium Japanese RH3 graded hammer-action keybed, newly integrated Channel Aftertouch sensitivity, and professional-grade multitrack studio recording tools into an elegant, matte-black performance chassis, this workstation sets a new benchmark for stage and studio command.
The KORG NAUTILUS AT (88-Key) is a masterclass in modern workstation performance, designed for keyboardists who demand the ultimate in musical expression. The "AT" stands for Aftertouch, which, when paired with Korg’s premium 88-key Weighted Hammer Action (RH-3) keybed, provides an unparalleled level of dynamic control. Combining nine distinct sound engines with a state-of-the-art interface, the NAUTILUS AT is the definitive workstation for those who require both studio-grade sound design and the tactile responsiveness of a grand piano.
Ultimate Expression and Performance
The core philosophy of the NAUTILUS AT is "freedom of expression." The addition of Aftertouch allows musicians to modulate sounds—such as filter cutoff, pitch, or vibrato—by applying pressure to the keys after the initial strike, breathing life into solo lines and pads. The 88-key RH-3 keybed delivers a natural, weighted feel that is ideal for demanding piano techniques, ensuring that your performance is translated with absolute accuracy.
Beyond the keys, the NAUTILUS AT offers nine dedicated sound engines, including the SGX-2 piano engine with its massive library of unlooped samples, the CX-3 tonewheel organ, and the MS-20EX analog modeling synth. This workstation is not just an instrument; it is a complete creative ecosystem that allows you to sculpt, layer, and perform with professional precision.
Streamlined Workflow and Intuitive Interface
Navigating the immense power of the NAUTILUS AT is intuitive, thanks to the large, color TouchView display. The "Mode" buttons and six real-time control knobs allow you to manipulate parameters on the fly, making it easy to adjust EQ, effects, and synthesis parameters during a live set. With high-fidelity audio processing and extensive sequencing capabilities, the NAUTILUS AT is the ultimate centerpiece for any professional studio or stage rig.
