Something new coming from Korg?

[Docbop]

I see Kraft Music and Sweetwater and probably others have $500 off Korg Kronos, typically that is a sign of clearing stock for something new.

Anyone hearing of something new from Korg in workstation for 2021?

[ElmerJFudd]

Hmmm. Slow sales, Black Friday and the holiday shopping season beginning. $500! off could be just making fourth quarter numbers.

 

What does a Kronos 2 successor look like other than new cpu, a little more RAM and storage?

 

OS update is what the doctor ordered, no? Maybe Kronos 3 has OS features that require new hardware and they do end of life cycle on the Kronos 1?

[Moonglow]

Hope this is predictive of a new Kronos axe or successor.

What does a Kronos 2 successor look like other than new cpu, a little more RAM and storage?

 

Kronos enhancements I'd like to see:

 

* Use a rechargable battery based laptop motherboard instead of a desktop motherboard, to support a sleep/hibernate mode, that could effectively eliminate the 2+ minute boot time in most circumstances.

* LED indicators for the knobs/sliders (OASYS had them... now Montage, Fantom, and Forte have them... they're not as esoteric as they once were, and a flagship should have them)

* tilt screen (can be a great help when it's on a top tier and/or to reduce glare)

* lighterweight chassis (aluminum?)

* engineer more ergonmic ways to lift/carry it (the angled down sides make it unnecesarily hard to grab even the 61 side-to-side, maybe build into the side panels some opening or bar you can grip your hands into; the curved top back also provides an impediement to carrying the short way)

* all the buttons in the number pad section and above the sliders should be redesigned so as to have horizointal space between them instead of butting up against each other, which interferes with the ability to quickly/accurately hit just the one you want; greater height could help too... how about the big round buttons of the M50? See the difference...

* and no more black buttons on black backgrounds... one or the other needs to change to something to provide some contrast in a dim light environment. I like that the M50 was available in alternate colors (though not the 73 key version I cared about), and I like the Titanium on the Kronos. But this should not be just the realm of limited/special edition, we need to see controls by default! Even gray (as opposed to black) buttons on a black background made a big difference on some Yamahas.

[CEB]

Kronos badly needs addition pedal I/O.

 

At least two expression inputs so one can be assigned to volume while the other is assigned to whatever you need such as a filter or modulation or a zonal fade etc....

 

More than than one assignable foot switch so you can have one to decrement through Setlist in case you accidentally double-tab the increment switch. (Been there...) The Kronos is a very good controller. The lack of pedal IO kept it from being great. Kurzweil beats Korg on pedal I/O.

[timwat]

Here's what I'd like to see:

 

1. Develop and release a sample / sound editor application that provides the ease of use of Nord Sound Manager and Nord Sample Editor.

2. Develop and release a more shapable, gig-useful, user-friendly experience with Karma.

 

Generally, software and UX has evolved to the point in 2020, providing powerful features that the average intended user cannot intuitively understand is simply poor business practice. While many manufacturers in KB world have gotten away with this for a long time (remember the impenetrable user manuals of the 90's?), life, tech and user expectations have matured.

 

Regarding #1, I realize Kronos has a far-more complex, intertwined file management system than Nord's. I no longer care - that's not longer an acceptable excuse. I'm not a tech newb, and if it's too laborious for me to figure out how to use the sampling function - and therefore use my Nord Wave for all of my live sample needs - Korg needs to completely rethink where they force the bar to be set and make this feature quick, intuitive and easy.

 

Regarding #2, Karma continues to reside as a one-trick pony for me - a really cool feature I have no use for - like the most elegant screen door on a submarine. Is there not some way to make this more useful for a gigging musician? Allow some degree of intuitive editing, or an interface that does not essentially dilute to trial-and-error "let's see what this button does in this scene?"

 

These things, as well as the weight and shoddy key bed experience, have me pining after non-Korg alternatives. This should not be the case. Just my 0.02.

[AnotherScott]

I miss the M50.

Yeah, M50 had a really nice design. (Angling the chassis is an alternate way to get that tilt screen!) It disappointed me in the features they took out from its TR predecessor, though... no more aftertouch, assignable outs, or ability to install sample memory. Getting the touchscreen interface was a big improvement, though. So often companies give with one hand and take away with the other...

Remember the mysterious Nautilus? Interesting thread on GS: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-and-electronic-music-production/1294744-new-korg-nautilus-9.html

https://www.gearslutz.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-and-electronic-music-production/1328168-namm-2021-believe-music-your-predictions-rumors-desires-4.html

 

The most interesting? A Ukrainian music store listed something called a "Korg Nautilus-88 Workstation" before quickly taking it down. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://muztorg.ua/uk/tovari-iz-vigruzki/korg_nautilus-88_rabochaja_stancija_230617/

 

Translated description (approximate):

workstation, 88 keys, 1920 presets, 256 combined presets, 42098 samples, 4123 multisamples, RH3 mechanics, 7 "Color TFT (WVGA, 800 x 480), memory about 25 GB

 

 

Also, there was this thing last NAMM:

 

[Docbop]

I called one of the stores with the $500 off and trying to see if they would at least hint at something coming. They said no it was just a Korg promotion and they've had no news of anything new workstations coming from Korg. He did say the Kronos is getting really old so they should do something. He also said something about the Kronos I haven't heard anywhere else, that if you play hard the keybeds wearout. That some Kronos owners have had to get the keybed replaced twice.

 

Then he started pushing the Montage really hard. He knows I have a Roland stage piano and looking at Korg and Yamaha to get different sounds. He said if you didn't already have a Roland I would suggest the Fantom.

[Al Coda]

Hope this is predictive of a new Kronos axe or successor.

 

I really like the Kronos concept, but I always hated usage of Intel industry mobo w/ embedded Intel Atom processor inside.

When they changed the DSP platform, I were in.

 

Crumar already did w/ Mojo61 and now w/ Mojo Classic as the successor of the Intel Atom driven dual manual Mojo/Mojo XT.

 

That alone would be a major upgrade and possibly opens doors.

 

A.C.

[ElmerJFudd]

Most everything has been custom DSP until the Kronos. That"s basically the miracle of Kronos - no? A flagship keyboard that runs on mostly off the shelf components reducing cost of development and production. The OS isn"t Windows though - it"s some version of Linux, right?

 

I believe they replicated this recently with the Wavestate running on a Rasberry Pi.

 

Funnily enough - Crumar went the opposite direction. Starting with the Mojo on a PC mobo running their software compiled for Windows XP or NT or something. Until they had the means to invest in custom DSP.

[Music Bird]

Maybe they"ll make an FM synth too?

[stoken6]

Kronos already has FM capability and compatibility with DX patches, no?

 

Cheers, Mike.

[CEB]

Yes.

[musicbysterling]

Kronos badly needs addition pedal I/O.

 

At least two expression inputs so one can be assigned to volume while the other is assigned to whatever you need such as a filter or modulation or a zonal fade etc....

A Red stripe? Cup holder?

[Baggypants]

I believe they replicated this recently with the Wavestate running on a Rasberry Pi.

 

 

The Wavestate certainly has a Raspberry Pi compute module embedded in it, but when I last looked into it, it's not at all obvious what it's doing. It's likely to be running the sound engines, but could just as easily be dedicated to managing IO.

[ElmerJFudd]

I would imagine it"s the main processor for the sound engine and that they"ve done custom io boards and have written drivers to get the performance they need out of the Pi.

Lengthy(!) description from that site (before it's taken down lol).

 

NAUTILUS pushes the boundaries of what a performance synth and workstation is capable of. With the power of nine engines to drive a new approach to sounds, plentiful sampling, audio recording, effects, and processing power, there is simply no other synth that delivers more to explore sonically, with the workflow to get you there faster than ever. Korg spent years refining all our digital, analog, processing, and hardware technologies and delivering them in a way that helps the musician connect with their instrument. The result is the incredibly powerful, one-of-a-kind NAUTILUS.

Nine different sound engines offer massive expressive power

 

The NAUTILUS features nine dedicated sound engines to realistically reproduce sounds such as pianos, electric pianos, organs and more.

 

To start, the enhanced SGX-2 piano sound generator offers delicate expressiveness to capture all the nuances of the acoustic piano, and NAUTILUS features the most piano libraries ever put into one product; with 12-step velocity-switched sound, string resonance and more. The EP-1 electric piano sound generator realistically reproduces seven different famous electric piano sounds. The CX-3 engine â the heart of our sought-after CX-3 reissue -covers the distinct sound of classic tonewheel organs. Add to that MOD-7 VPM/FM synthesis, the PolysixEX and MS-20EX for analog modeling, and the STR-1 for physical modeling, and you have essentially an engine for any type of sound you"re looking to get. Used together in Program or Combination mode, these distinctive engines create completely new timbres.

 

New sounds offered over three broad categories

 

For additional info about Sound Engines, see downloads

 

The approach to the included sound on NAUTILUS, started with Korg setting aside our preconceptions of what sound should be like on a conventional music workstation, and instead focused on pushing the boundaries of sampling and programming to create a brand-new classifications of programs that we divide into three groups:

 

'Unique' sounds:

 

The NAUTILUS brings you distinctive sounds including phrase loops, prepared pianos, found percussion and more. Many seldom heard-of musical instruments found in different regions around the world can be difficult to play, but distinctive phrases played on these instruments are featured on the NAUTILUS. Use these phrases as-is in your songsâlet your imagination be your guide. The NAUTILUS features sounds that were sampled for the first time just for this instrument, including prepared piano sounds created by placing different objects between piano strings and recording samples, or 'found percussion' sounds made by turning ordinary items into instruments to be struck. Not only do these novel and mysterious sounds provide an unexpected flavor to your songs, they offer broad possibilities for sound effects used in film and TV music as well.

'Current' sounds:

 

The NAUTILUS also offers the freshest sounds that blend in well with today's music scene, including synths, drum kits, special effects and more. For synths, be sure to check out the EDM, electro and chiptune sounds for starters. Also, the NAUTILUS features more than 50 kinds of drum kitsâsounds that most strongly reflect the changes in music over time. The special effect sounds offer useful material like drums added to dance music to create beatsâsounds that you can put to use right away.

 

Standard sounds:

 

We"ve brought together all of the most important sounds a workstation needs including piano, electric piano, guitar, bass guitar and more, covering all genres. For the newly sampled piano sound, we"ve also recorded the lovely sonic ambience of the studio, and you can mix the piano and ambience sound as you like with the new ambience sound. A new electric piano model with a characteristic thick sound has been added, which works great for funky playing styles. We"ve also added many phrases that let you play back actual performances of guitar and bass parts that keyboardists will find useful.

 

The DYNAMICS knob makes delicate expression possible

 

With the DYNAMICS knob, you can instantly control the changes in volume and tone in response to how hard you play the keyboard (velocity); and you can customize this knob in real time to match the keyboard playing feel required for each style and song. Even when playing the same sound, you can turn this knob to get the feeling of playing a completely different sound. By finding just the right setting for your playing style, you'll uncover even more of the possibilities that the NAUTILUS offers.

 

When you activate the DYNAMICS knob and turn it to the left, the keyboard responds more softly to your playing, giving you a wide range of dynamics. This allows for delicate, expressive playing when accompanying a piano solo or vocals, which directly reflects the dynamics of your performance. On the other hand, turning the knob to the right gives a stronger, more flat dynamic response. This brings out the sound when you"re playing in a band or ensemble, which works best when performing with a more even feel.

 

Make intuitive changes to sounds with the Realtime knobs

 

The six RT (real-time) knobs at the top left of the panel give you direct control over changes to the PROG and COMBI sounds. A variety of functions are assigned to each knob that lets you enjoy making changes to sounds, such as the filter cutoff and effect depth, the gate time, tempo and swing of the arpeggiator or drum track, the type of snare drum and more. In COMBI mode, you can group timbres and control their levels with the knobs. Further, you can press these knobs into the panel to lock them in place, preventing them from being accidentally changed while you"re playing. For instance, you could use this to enable only the knobs you often use onstage and push the ones in that you do not need.

A user interface designed for easy operation

 

For the NAUTILUS, we have completely rethought the user interface, considering that panel controls tend to become denser as more functions are added. The interface of the NAUTILUS lets users find just the things they"re looking for once they understand the principles.

 

The MODE button lets you see what you"ve selected in each mode on a single screen, from PROG and COMBI to the set list, sampling, sequence and global modes. Each mode has tabs for each function, and the PAGE buttons offer more detailed editing with consistent operations. With the user-friendly navigation of the NAUTILUS, you can press the MODE button at any time to return to the start if you get lost. A dark mode is available for the display, using black as the primary color to reduce eye fatigue.

 

Six quick access buttons are also available as shortcut buttons. The NAUTILUS further offers four templates as a continuation of the previous user-friendly features, which can be used to select modes like PROG and COMBI, as transport buttons for sequencer playback and recording and so on. You can also select your own settings as you like. What"s more, you can freely assign functions you frequently use and save them in one of four sets.

Convenient arpeggiator and drum track functions

 

Four scenes of arpeggio patterns and drum track sets are made available that perfectly match each PROG and COMBI preset sound. These are useful for switching between scenes while they"re played, for use when improvising during performance, or for expanding your vision when composing music starting from a sound.

 

Set list mode that demonstrates its power in live performances

 

NAUTILUS can organize all of the resources you need to get through a songâor a setâusing the Set List mode. Using the Set List mode, the TouchView display can host 16 color-coded touch-screen buttons; each one can instantly call up the appropriate Preset, Combination, or Sequenceâregardless of mode!

 

You can also select different button colors, such as when you want to change the colors within a song while playing live. This is a powerful feature for situations that require quick and accurate control. The Set List mode even adds a nine-band graphic EQ, allowing the overall tone to be tweaked to match the venue.

Color TouchView Display

 

The nerve center of the NAUTILUS is KORG"s enormous eight-inch (800 x 480 pixel) WVGA color TouchView display.

 

In addition to simply selecting a sound or choosing a parameter with the touch of a finger, the enhanced Touch-Drag ability allows more detailed control of parameter values. Interactive instruments and panel graphics provide the ability to do everything from adjusting the lid of a grand piano to connecting patch cable on a semi-modular synthesizer model.

 

The TouchView display also hosts a convenient new Search Function, allowing you to search for (and preview) sounds based on their titles.

Open Sampling System

 

Using KORG"s Open Sampling System, NAUTILUS can quickly sample an external audio source, regardless of whether NAUTILUS is in the Program, Combination, or Sequencer modes. The Open Sampling Mode can even resample the performance of the NAUTILUS itself. The user sample bank, which extends the convenience of the EXs sample library to user samples, allows custom samples to be loaded and played, taking advantage of the gigantic SSD capacity.

 

AIFF, WAV, SoundFont 2.0, and AKAI S1000/3000 format samples can be loaded into memory via USB memory. Additionally, you can use a USB Ethernet adapter to exchange large amounts of sample data with your computer at high speed. Instruments or samples that you've previously created on your PC can be used to construct a music production setup based on just the NAUTILUS itself.

 

16-Track MIDI Sequencer / 16-Track Audio Recorder

 

NAUTILUS features a sequencer/recording section that offers both 16 MIDI tracks plus 16 audio tracks; a great resource for putting together a dazzling performance or a brilliant production. MIDI sequencing makes it easy to capture ideas, inspiration, and pro-quality phrases using the Drum Track, or RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Recording) functions.

 

The 16-track audio recorder simultaneously captures up to four tracks of 16-bit/24-bit uncompressed data at a sampling rate of 48 kHz. Play along with recorded tracks, add effects, and then resample the NAUTILUS itself and place the resampled WAV files directly in a track. When polishing your tracks, feel free to use mixer automation and editing functions such as copy, paste, and normalize to get the results you want.

16 Onboard Effect Processors

 

NATILUS provides 16 internal effects to add impact to your sonic creations. Each of the 12 Insert effects can be applied to individual or multiple timbres in a combination, or to individual or multiple tracks of the sequencer. In addition, two Master effects can be applied to sends 1/2, and two Total effects can be applied to all tracks at the final stage of the sound.

 

A separate three-band EQ is provided for every timbre, for every sequencer track, and for every audio track for adjusting subtle tonal balances or for creatively modifying the overall sound.

 

USB/MIDI Host Ports Accommodate MIDI Control Surfaces

 

Any class-compliant USB-MIDI controller can be connected directly to the NAUTILUS. Assign functions to a Korg USB MIDI controller with pads (nanoPAD, nanoPAD2, padKONTROL) to play drum parts, and switch between chords with chord triggers or when you"re in chord mode.

 

Smooth sound transitions that eliminate dropouts when changing sounds, regardless of the mode you're in

 

When you switch program sounds during a performance to get ready for the next section, or when you switch from Program mode to Combi mode, the sound that's currently being output is always given priority and its effects are maintained during the program change, ensuring a seamless transition with no dropouts. This function has also earned extremely high praise from pro musicians.

88-key model with piano touch, 73-key model with light touch and 61-key model available

 

The keyboard on the 88-key model of the NAUTILUS uses a four-stage real weighted hammer action made in Japan, called the RH-3. This action is heavier on the lower notes and lighter on the higher notes for superb playability. The 73-key model features a much-requested light-touch synth keyboard from C to C, as with the 61-key model. This key action lets you play organ parts with plenty of glissandos, as well as synth solos that take advantage of the keyboard"s wide range.

 

The 88-key model is fitted with luxurious wooden side panels, and the 73-key and 61-key models a completely new design with impressive curves that rise from the bottom of the unit to the sides, patterned after the NAUTILUS" namesakes: the Nautilus submarine and the cephalopod mollusk. All of these elements make the NAUTILUS a distinctive instrument onstage as well, brimming with personality.

Free bundle of music software

 

The NAUTILUS comes with a diverse variety of music software from Izotope including 'Ozone Elements' which lets you not only create songs but also master them using AI, 'Skoove' which will help you improve your keyboard playing skills, 'Reason Lite' DAW software, as well as software synths from KORG and other brands.

 

In other words, the moment you get your hands on this synthesizer you'll have a variety of tools to help you take your music to the next level.
