Nautilus is a workstation keyboard that’s very similar to Kronos, Korg’s Flagship Workstation keyboard, but priced about a third less. In this video, I take a look at what was improved and what was removed, what its workflow is like, and overall pros and cons:

Thank you for this review and comparison. How do you like the semi-weighted keybed? Also, how is the Nautilus build quality? Is it solid and rugged, or does it look/feel cheaper than a Kronos?
My pleasure. The keybed is OK and the build quality seems excellent. I don’t have a Kronos to compare.
