Korg Nautilus Workstation
Well sadly the mighty Kronos (which I have) has been discontinued and replaced with the Nautilus at a cheaper price.
The Nautilus has just about all the sounds of the Kronos plus a few more but sadly lacks the ‘after-touch’ (except the AT version), karma and hands on controls such as the sliders which I could not live without.
But nevertheless this remains the best new music production keyboard on the market and is the only ‘true workstation’ available where you can produce a professional recording entirely on the keyboard without transferring to a computer.
This is available with 88 RH3 hammer action keys, or 61 / 73 natural touch semi-weighted keys, unlike the Kronos which has the hammer action keys on the 73 version!
