Korg Nautilus 73

NAUTILUS pushes the boundaries of what a performance synth and workstation is capable of. With the power of nine engines to drive a new approach to sounds, plentiful sampling, audio recording, effects and processing power, there is simply no other synth that delivers more to explore sonically, with the workflow to get you there faster than ever. Korg spent years refining all our digital, analog, processing and hardware technologies and delivering them in a way that helps the musician connect with their instrument. The result is the incredibly powerful, one-of-a-kind NAUTILUS.

The 73-key model features a much-requested light-touch synth keyboard from C to C. This key action lets you play organ parts with plenty of glissandos, as well as synth solos that take advantage of the keyboard's wide range.

The 73-key a completely new design with impressive curves that rise from the bottom of the unit to the sides, patterned after the NAUTILUS' namesakes: the Nautilus submarine and the cephalopod mollusk. All of these elements make the NAUTILUS a distinctive instrument onstage as well, brimming with personality.
