Introduction
The Korg NAUTILUS AT Special Edition Gray represents an ultra-exclusive, premium aesthetic evolution of Korg’s premier multi-engine workstation family, meticulously crafted for professional stage keyboardists, studio session players, film composers, and elite synthesizer collectors. This stunning special edition swaps out the traditional dark finish for a sophisticated, high-contrast matte gray control panel that catches stage lights beautifully while maintaining a commanding studio presence. Underneath its boutique styling, this “AT” model features a highly advanced, fully integrated channel aftertouch keybed driven by nine dedicated, cutting-edge sound engines. To deliver the ultimate elite performance station straight out of the box, this package comes complete with a Sequenz Standard Stand Bundle (Worth RM1515 for the 61-key model and Worth RM1690 for the 88-key model), giving Malaysian keyboardists an uncompromised performance powerhouse paired with an ultra-stable, matching modern aluminum stand.
Main Features
The defining technical asset of the Korg NAUTILUS AT Gray 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).

- 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.
