Introduction
The Korg NAUTILUS AT series introduces a profoundly expressive hardware upgrade to Korg’s premier multi-engine workstation family, meticulously engineered for professional stage keyboardists, studio session players, film composers, and synthesizer purists. Standing proudly alongside the legendary Kronos territory, this premium “AT” edition answers the call of elite musicians by adding a highly advanced, fully integrated channel aftertouch keybed. To deliver the ultimate pro-grade setup straight out of the box, this premium package comes complete with a Sequenz Standard Stand Bundle (Worth RM1515 for 61 keys and Worth RM1690 for 88 keys). Combining nine dedicated, cutting-edge sound synthesis engines with real-time pressure-sensitive key tracking and an ultra-stable, stylish aluminum stand, the NAUTILUS AT bundle provides Malaysian keyboardists with an uncompromised performance powerhouse.
Main Features
The defining technological advancement of the Korg NAUTILUS AT is its premium aftertouch-equipped keybed assembly. By sensing the precise continuous physical pressure applied to the keys after they are struck, this hardware layer allows players to dynamically modulate parameters like vibrato depth, filter cutoffs, volume sweeps, or sub-oscillator speeds without lifting their hands to touch a mod wheel or slider. This deep mechanical expression is fully integrated into the workstation’s Nine Engine Core Architecture, unlocking incredibly lifelike response grids across stunning modeled acoustic grands (SGX-2), authentic vintage reeds and tines (EP-1), drawbar organs (CX-3), and heavy high-definition virtual analog models (AL-1).
Usage Scenarios
- Expressive Solo Concert Work: Perform soaring synth leads or orchestral brass swells on stage, using physical key pressure to control modulation intensity while keeping your left hand free for pitch bending.
- Dynamic Film Orchestration: Craft breathing, cinema-grade string sections and shifting ambient pad textures inside the studio by using aftertouch to automate complex filter sweeps in real time.
- Premium Stage Visuals & Stability: Mount your premium workstation on the included custom-fitted Sequenz Standard Stand to achieve an ultra-sturdy playing surface with a striking, professional aesthetic under stage lights.
- Full-Scale Studio Production: Record, arrange, and finalize radio-ready musical compositions entirely within the workstation using the integrated 16-track MIDI plus 16-track audio recording system.
- Advanced Sonic Texturing: Set up the front-panel Dynamics Control Knob to instantly shift the global velocity response of the keys from soft, delicate accompaniment to sharp, biting attacks.
Features
- Integrated Premium Aftertouch Technology provides continuous pressure-sensitive tracking for unparalleled physical expression on stage.
- Nine independent custom-tuned sound engines cover the complete sonic spectrum from ultra-realistic acoustic modeling to aggressive digital synthesis.
- Included Sequenz Standard Stand Bundle provides an incredibly rugged, lightweight chrome-finished aluminum frame meticulously optimized for heavy keyboards.
- Vibrant 7-inch color TouchView display utilizes intuitive touch-drag gesture controls to navigate deep sound parameter layers and multitrack mixers.

CK Music Staff Recommendation
The synthesizer experts at CK Music consider the Korg NAUTILUS AT Bundle to be the ultimate premium configuration for any active performer.
