Korg Forums

There will be 4 chairs!
And a coffee table.

It's like waiting for a new pope.
Except the Vatican releases new popes more often than korg new products.

But it would be nice if in your turn you take the time to really read what people write. I believe that I did. :) But in any case, I hope you now understand that I had nothing to do with Korg's decision to stop making the Kronos. There was no change to the licensing terms, or their right to ...

Do you know I have invented the Karma and I inow what was in the contract? Yes, it is written in big in your signature. And yes I did notice it. But it would be nice if in your turn you take the time to really read what people write. I have clearly written that the confusion of the professionnals ...

So I was not in the room when Korg announced it to you, but YES, the Nautilus has been created by Korg because they did not have the legal right anymore to sell Kronos cause they have a Karma inside. And you confirm it was not created as a real full project, but as a quick and dirty replacement ...

Korg did release the Nautilus because they stopped working with the Copyright owners of the Karma. So for legal reasons Korg could not sell any Kronos anymore. That's completely not true. I would have been happy to continue working with Korg to put KARMA in their keyboards. They chose not to ...

...it is not a workstation at all.🤔 I'll try this again for you. It's clear at the time of the Nautilus release Korg had nothing new to offer so they cancelled the Kronos, came out with the stripped down version of Nautilus and not a single Kronos owner was interested. Had they released the Kronos/N ...

May I add to Gwendal's comment this : When we have a Kronos and a DAW we have finally many Kronos at hands and not, anymore, just one Kronos. Combis can be melted and so on ! And that is another big advantage of a DAW with Kronos Yep...so you don't want a workstation but just a sounds library. You ...

] Does someone know when the successor Kronos 3 is expected? Sadly workstations, in a Kronos/Nautilus format, is not a good commercial option. The issues are mainly about the sequencer. I don't like DAWs, but they have some advantages : - way, way more options to manipulate tracks and polish the ...

Go to Youtube and check out the SH-4d.

That's what the Nautilus SHOULD have been. And at that price, I suspect Roland is going to sell a fair number.

...it is not a workstation at all.

Hello Gwendal, I think, yes, about buying a Nautilus just because my Kronos is on the way to die. Just that. But I am not glad at all about that I'm in a similar situation. My Triton is not on its way to die, but it has only a MIDI sequencer. And most of my music is composed for guitars, so I'm ...

To Gwendal : Je plaisantais ! I was absolutely NOT serious ! :D But : As the way it is : For replacing a very old Kronos the Nautilus is a good thing (even with its limits) Je m'en doutais bien, j'avais jeté un coup d'oeil à votre site web en signature... :D Mais il peut être intéressant de faire de ...

the 64-bit days are already numbered: old and outdated. Let's go quantic ! :D But still : the Nautilus is not at all a bad thing [Answer from the IT guy] This is a common misconception. Quantum computers are way, really way, far less good than "normal" computer to deal with signals treatment, and ...

(...)about it being quite easy to build your own dream workstation with VSTs and a controller keyboard. Not to mention the possibility of having 2 controller keyboards. One classical, a Komplete like 88 "normal" keyboard, and a seaboard rise 2 (a Roli product). The more I watch videos about the ...

I personally would not say "do not buy a Nautilus". It depends on what you want. I do say "do not buy a Nautilus". The Nautilus has been made as a "quick and dirty" copy of the Kronos. - its hardware architecture is using 32 bits chips created in the late 90's...in 2023! - its software architecture ...
