KORG NAUTILUS 88 AT - 88-key RH3 workstation with aftertouch, 9 engines, and 16+16 sequencer

The KORG NAUTILUS 88 AT is the Aftertouch version of KORG’s flagship workstation. It features the acclaimed 88-key RH3 weighted keyboard and a library optimized to respond to Aftertouch right out of the box, with no additional setup required. Along with the original touch sensitivity and DYNAMICS control, Aftertouch expands the expressive range of the KRONOS’s nine legacy sound engines , integrated into a color TouchView interface designed to seamlessly flow between Program , Combi , Set List , and production.

The NAUTILUS 88 AT’s architecture combines a 16-track MIDI sequencer and 16-track audio recorder with 16 simultaneous effects processors (12 IFX + 2 MFX + 2 TFX) and Smooth Sound Transitions (SST) for seamless live sound switching. Professional connectivity includes balanced L/R main outputs , 4 solo outputs , 2 balanced inputs (mic/line), MIDI In/Out/Thru , and dual USB ports: USB-A (host) for surfaces/controllers, and USB-B (device) for MIDI and audio with your computer.

Main features

• Keyboard and Expression : 88 RH3 keys with graded response, velocity, and aftertouch (channel). DYNAMICS knob for response shaping.
• 9 sound engines (KRONOS family): SGX-2 acoustic pianos, EP-1 electric pianos, CX-3 organ, HD-1 PCM synthesis, AL-1 analog, MOD-7 VPM/FM, STR-1 physical modeling, and MS-20EX and PolysixEX classics.
• Integrated production : 16 MIDI tracks + 16 audio tracks (48 kHz, 16/24-bit), Open Sampling System sampling and internal SSD.
• Effects : up to 16 simultaneous (12 IFX, 2 MFX, 2 TFX) with 197 types and EQ per part/track.
• Direct : Set List with SST hold ( Hold Time adjustment per slot), arpeggiators and drum track.
• Interface : 7" color TouchView display, panel with real-time controls and simplified workflow.
• Connectivity : Balanced L/R outputs + 4 individual outputs , 2 balanced inputs (mic/line), USB-A host for controllers, USB-B for MIDI and 2×2 audio , MIDI In/Out/Thru, pedals (continuously sensing damper, footswitch and assignable continuous pedal).

• Live without interruptions : SST maintains tails and effects when changing Program, Combi or Set List.
• Modern integration : USB-A to control the NAUTILUS from surfaces and USB-B with audio/MIDI for DAW.

Use cases

• Stage Piano : RH3 feel and SGX-2 pianos with resonances and soft pedal.
• Band and live : Set List , arpeggiators, Drum Track and 4 individual outputs for FOH/monitor routing.
