The Korg Nautilus 73 Music Synthesizer Workstation Keyboard is a high-end performance and production instrument designed for composers, producers, and touring musicians who demand extensive sound design, sequencing, and live control in one compact workstation. Featuring a 73-key Natural Touch semi-weighted keyboard with velocity sensitivity, the Nautilus 73 delivers expressive playability that’s ideal for expressive synth leads, layered pads, realistic piano and organ parts, and dynamic live performance work.
At the heart of the Nautilus is a suite of nine powerful synthesis engines derived from Korg’s Kronos platform, including SGX-2 acoustic piano, EP-1 electric piano, HD-1 high-definition PCM, analog modeling engines like AL-1 and MS-20EX, and classic modeling engines like CX-3 tonewheel organ and PolysixEX. With up to 200 voice polyphony (varies by engine) and over 2,200 programs and combinations, you’ll find an expansive palette of tones covering every genre and style.
The Nautilus 73 also excels as a production workstation, with a 16-track MIDI sequencer and a 16-track audio recorder that let you compose, record, and arrange directly on the instrument — no external gear required. Built-in features such as Smooth Sound Transition (SST) prevent dropouts when switching sounds live, while powerful arpeggiators, a drum track and step sequencer, and advanced effects give you full creative control.
Navigation and editing are intuitive thanks to a vibrant 7″ TouchView display and customizable controls, and USB, MIDI, and audio I/O ensure seamless integration with DAWs, controllers, and external gear. Whether you’re performing onstage or producing tracks in the studio, the Nautilus 73 delivers professional flexibility and expressive depth — all in a streamlined form factor.
