Some Nautilus Build Info

Can anyone tell me if there is an actual computer in the Nautilus as there was in the Kronos?

Thanks….

Yes, it does. See here for previous discussion:

The Nautilus SSD is an mSATA mounted underneath the motherboard.

Thanks,
I went ahead and ordered and Nautilus 73 anyway. I’m sure it will be fine. I was a bit concerned with the fact that the motherboard cpu design might reach it’s end of life. But, I had the original Kronos and the the Kronos 2 and neither of them ever failed me so I think it will be fine.

Hello

Kronos and Nautilus is really just a VST running under a custom 32 bit Linux OS and on a standard (industrial) motherboard from 2011.

However. It is the same for Yamaha Montage/Modx, but Yamaha has added a support chip for the effects.

Kurzweil and Roland on the other hand uses custom chips for their workstations.

Next step for Korg is to release Kronos/Nautilus as a VST plugin
