It’s also completely compatible with sounds and samples for both the original wavestate and wavestate native software, including many excellent third-party libraries.

The Pitchblack X Pro features a built-in ULTRA BUFFER.The majority of electric guitars use passive pickups with a high impedance output. When you are using a cable there is a loss of tone, usually high frequencies, after about 6 m (around 18 feet) and this problem gets worse the longer your cable. A buffer boosts the signal over long cables to avoid loss of tone, keeping it clean and clear - even when your pedal is off.The ULTRA BUFFER enhances the sound quality in bypass mode, so that you can still maintain audio quality even when using a long cable to connect to the tuner, or when inserting the tuner into a complex effects board.Designed for a wide range of setups.This tuner comes with easily detachable rack-mounting adapters. Aside from installing this tuner into a rack, you can attach the rack-mounting adapters onto the bottom of the unit, and use them as a stand for placing the unit on the floor.Further, output jacks are available on both the rear and front panel, which makes it easier to integrate the tuner into your effects board.Multicolored LEDs feature excellent visibility.With this tuner, you have a choice of multicolored LEDs for outstanding visibility.Available colors include blue to red gradation, green to red gradation, and single-colored gradation for cyan, green and blue for a total of five color types.This lets you select the colors and color combinations that suit your tastes, to match the studio or stage lighting and color mood.Ultra-high tuning accuracy down to ±0.1 cents.The Pitchblack X Pro offers highly precise and accurate tuning within a precision of ±0.1 cents when in Strobe mode, making it ideal for situations where the tuning must be absolutely right whether performing or recording.Four meter display modes.Select from four types of meter display to match your requirements. Aside from the typical “Regular” mode, you can use “Strobe” and “Half Strobe” mode to indicate changes in pitch by the direction and speed that the meter is flowing in to distinguish even the finest differences in pitch; and you can use “Focus” mode for even greater precision when tuning with the meter display.

Modwave MKII: Wavetable Synthesis ReduxIn 1985, Korg introduced the world to the DW-8000, a groundbreaking synthesizer that merged digital wavetables and rich analog filters to give players access to a new universe of synthesized sounds. Korg’s Modwave MKII continues the DW-8000’s storied legacy while representing a new evolution in wavetable synthesis. Comprising a vast collection of wavetable oscillators, a dozen gorgeous stereo filters, a humongous PCM sample library, and a host of modulators, the Modwave MKII launches you into a deep and immersive world of exploratory sound design. Yet, with its compact 37-key keyboard and remarkably intuitive user interface, the Modwave is anything but overwhelming — it’s a fun and interactive synth that will appeal to seasoned and aspiring synthesists alike. Plus, synthesists at Sweetwater are ecstatic over the inclusion of a built-in KAOSS Pad, which facilitates incredibly expressive performances. Let your imagination soar and tap into new sonic dimensions with the Modwave MKII wavetable synthesizer from Korg!Related Videos: Modwave MKII Wavetable SynthesizerOver 230 million wavetable variationsThe Modwave MKII comes loaded with over 200 characterful wavetables, each with up to 64 waveforms, which, when combined with the modifier and morph features, allows for a staggering 230 million wavetable variations! If that’s not enough to satisfy your desire for unique tones, Modwave allows you to import wavetables from Xfer Record’s highly popular Serum advanced software wavetable synthesizer, as well as custom wavetables in WaveEdit format. But the fun doesn’t stop there! The Modwave MKII includes a multi-gigabyte PCM library for adding realism to patches with Korg’s impeccably recorded samples.Shape your sounds with MS-20 and Polysix filtersWhile wavetable synthesis offers sonic possibilities far beyond typical subtractive synthesis, it’s hard to beat the creative potential of a good filter. So, Korg threw in more than a dozen rich onboard options. The Modwave MKII synthesizer packs lowpass and highpass filters modeled after those found on the classic MS-20 synthesizer, as well as a lowpass filter model based on the Polysix synthesizer. You’ll also find an array of 2- and 4-pole lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and band-reject filters. And, of course, you’re also supplied with Korg’s beloved multimode filter, which can morph and modulate between multiple filter modes.KAOSS Physics returns for hands-on expressionWhen it first hit the market in 1999, Korg’s KAOSS Pad was a deliciously disruptive piece of technology, giving users unprecedented hands-on control to sample, mangle, and alter any sound source. Famously used by musical experimentalists such as Brian Eno, Radiohead, and Muse, the KAOSS Pad encouraged expressive interaction with its powerful set of audio manipulation tools. Not only does the Modwave MKII feature the renowned KAOSS X/Y touchpad, but it also introduces KAOSS Physics, which models the behavior of a bouncing ball for randomized parameter automation. Customize the environment to which the ball responds by defining the shape of its slopes, adjusting the surface friction, and choosing between padded or hard walls; or remove the walls entirely, so that the surface wraps around to the opposite edges like a vintage arcade game. Go even further by manipulating the KAOSS Physics parameters with any of the Modwave MKII’s dozens of modulation sources or even with the KAOSS Physics outputs themselves!Motion Sequencing 2.0 animates your playing experienceAn evolution of the Korg wavestate’s Wave Sequencing 2.0, Motion Sequencing 2.0 brings incredible dynamism and animation to your patches and step sequences. Motion Sequencing 2.0 allows you to manipulate sample sequence, timing, and pitch independently to create complex, evolving patches with a nonlinear vibe. Each of these parameters (and many more) is assigned its own “Lane,” and each Lane can have a different number of steps, with control over their start, end, and loop points. Lanes can even randomize their step order every time they are played, yielding a completely unpredictable and nonlinear playing experience.Onboard FX elevate your sounds to stratospheric heightsYour patches will ascend to stratospheric heights with the Modwave MKII’s massive collection of built-in effects. Starting with Pre FX — including the Decimator bit crusher and sample reducer, studio-quality EQ and compression, along with ring modulation, tremolo, and a waveshaper — you can transform your raw sounds before further manipulating them with any of Modwave’s stunning Mod FX. Then, cap it off with one of five stereo delays, a master reverb, and a 4-band parametric master EQ. Dreamy and dramatic, gritty and glitchy, polished and clean: with the Modwave MKII’s high-quality effects, you have infinite atmospheric depths at your fingertips.Ready for stage or studioA pair of balanced line-level outputs ensures the Modwave MKII sounds fantastic even over long cable runs, and a headphone output is available for personal monitoring as well — perfect for late-night sound design sessions. DIN MIDI ports are present for connecting with other MIDI-compatible hardware, and class-compliant USB MIDI is available for integration with your computer. Speaking of which, we highly recommend downloading the free editor software from Korg — it's the perfect way to manage your custom patches and much more.Korg Modwave MKII Wavetable Synthesizer Features:Loaded with over 200 characterful wavetables, each with up to 64 waveformsModifier and morph features allow for a staggering 230 million wavetable variations2-oscillator structure with 2-part multitimbrality and 60-voice polyphony nearly doubles the voicing of its predecessorIncludes modeled MS-20 lowpass/highpass filters, modeled Polysix lowpass filter, and Korg multimode filterPlenty of modulation with 4 envelopes, 5 LFOs, and aftertouchExtensive parameter controls include individual Motion Sequencing steps, which can yield up to 1,000 possible modulation destinations in a single Program4 programmable Mod knobs give you custom access to whatever parameters you'd like to tweak most oftenMotion Sequencing 2.0 allows you to manipulate sample sequence, timing, and pitch independently to create complex, evolving patches with a nonlinear vibe"Lanes" provide unique ways to manipulate pitch, sample duration, gate times, step sequencer values, and much moreLayer samples over wavetables from the included multi-gigabyte PCM library13 morph types for stretching, squeezing, and altering wavetables in real-timeMassive collection of built-in distortion, modulation, delay, and reverb effectsAmple hands-on control over practically all parametersBuilt-in KAOSS Pad with KAOSS Physics encourages unprecedented interactivity37 full-size keys balance playability and portability; key zoning for splitting and layering soundsPolyphonic legato, velocity sensitivity, exponential velocity, and release velocity ensure nuanced, expressive performances

Korg Nuvibe | Vibrato Chorus EffectorThe legendary modulation effect unit, reborn under the supervision of the developer of the original model!Reappearing after more than half a century, it's the Nuvibe.Loved by guitarists for decades, it's a Japanese made modulation-type effect unit that made a blazing debut at the Woodstock festival; you already know the one we're talking about. The inimitable sound of this distinctive modulation effect has captivated numerous guitarists and audiences.Yet, because only a very small number of the original units exist, and because the circuit itself was not accurately understood and its components were difficult to obtain, it was rare to have the opportunity to try out the unit that produced these famous sounds. Such factors elevated the original to a semi-divine status. Numerous clone models were produced by major manufacturers and boutique shops alike, but all of these remain facsimiles that are pale imitations of the original model.Now, this legendary classic has been reborn under the ideal circumstances of the original engineer's supervision. Starting with original circuits that simulate hard-to-obtain parts, the distinctive modulation sound has been perfectly reproduced. Not content with a simple reproduction, new WAVE sliders have been added, allowing original waveforms to be generated.This highly sought after pedal with a long history of allure is now unveiled in its new incarnation: the Nuvibe

The Korg Wavestate MKII Wave Sequencing Synthesizer uses Korg's legendary wave sequencing synthesis to deliver a staggering collection of ever-evolving sounds, textures, and rhythms that are organic, and vastly explorable. This new version of Wavestate elevates the popular synth, increasing the number of voices (96 stereo voice polyphony), personal sample space (4GB), and boasting a refreshed look with a unique color accent.Wave sequencing 2.0 rhythmically changes samples, control values, effects, and more in real time, to create sounds and passages that are ever evolving in motion. Deep modulation capabilities, loads of sounds, multi effects, and plenty of polyphony (96 notes).With the Wavestation, each step of a Wave Sequence had a duration, a sample, and a pitch. This created ear-catching patterns-but the patterns repeated the same way, over and over. What if they could evolve in organic, unexpected ways, instead of just repeating?Wave Sequencing splits apart the timing, the sequence of samples, and the melody, so that each can be manipulated independently. Also added are new characteristics including shapes, gate times, and step sequencer values. Each of these is a "Lane," and each Lane can have a different number of steps and its own start, end, and loop pointsBursting with knobs and controllers, the Wavestate invites you to explore. All of the basics-filter, envelopes, LFOs, effects-are at your fingertips with dedicated front-panel controls. Eight programmable Mod Knobs are customized to bring out the most in every sound, often taking them in entirely new directions. Use the knobs in realtime performance, and also save the results as new sounds. Add in the Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels and the unique Vector Joystick, and you'll always have multiple dimensions of realtime expression.Every time the sequence moves forward, the individual Lanes are combined to create the output. For instance, a sample may be matched with a different duration, pitch, shape, gate length, and step sequence value every time that it plays. You can modulate each Lane's start, end, and loop points separately for every note, using velocity, LFOs, envelopes, Mod Knobs, or other controllers. Each note in a chord can be playing something different!

Our next-generation, pedal tuner featuring the new ULTRA BUFFER is even more powerful and easy to use.Switch between true bypass or the newly-developed ULTRA BUFFER.The Pitchblack X not only features a true bypass for outputting the sound exactly as it was input, but now includes a built-in ULTRA BUFFER Why is this important? The majority of electric guitars use passive pickups with a high impedance output. When you are using a cable there is a loss of tone, usually high frequencies, after about 6 m (around 18 feet) and this problem gets worse the longer your cable. A buffer boosts the signal over long cables to avoid loss of tone, keeping it clean and clear - even when your pedal is off. The ULTRA BUFFER enhances the sound quality in bypass mode, so that you can still maintain audio quality even when using a long cable to connect to the tuner, or when inserting the tuner into a complex effects board. On the Pitchblack X, you can switch between true bypass and the ULTRA BUFFER, according to your tastes and performance environment.Meter LED also offers bright mode settings for high visibility.Besides the enlarged display, more meter LEDs have been added for superior visibility. The bright mode (brightness) can be set at one of two levels, so that you can be sure to see the tuner display even better in situations where visibility is difficult, such as brightly lit stages and bright outdoor environments.Ultra-high tuning accuracy down to ±0.1 cents.The Pitchblack X offers highly precise and accurate tuning within a precision of ±0.1 cents when in Strobe mode,making it ideal for situations where the tuning must be absolutely right whether performing or recording.Four meter display modes.Select from four types of meter display to match your requirements. Aside from the typical “Regular” mode, you can use “Strobe” and “Half Strobe” mode to indicate changes in pitch by the direction and speed that the meter is flowing in to distinguish even the finest differences in pitch; and you can use “Mirror” mode to see two LEDs on the left and right crossing together towards the center as you tune your instrument.Features a built-in “just-right tuning” display.The Pitchblack X features a new “just-right tuning” display function, which makes the triangular LEDs on both sides blink when the tuning is correct, helping tuning be a stress-free experience.Sturdy housing; also works on battery powerThe Pitchblack X is housed in a robust aluminum case with a strong scratch-resistant coating. It works on 9 V batteries, which is perfect for players who don’t carry around an effects board, and there is an optional AC adaptor if required.

The book features a wide variety of tips and tricks that use the NTS-2’s many functions to expand the power of your studio – just look for the NTS-2 icon!NTS-2: The modern musician's Swiss Army knifeThe NTS-2 kit is compact and easy to assemble (*), but don’t let its size fool you – it packs a real punch! The NTS-2 is an oscilloscope, tuner, FFT, and spectrum analyzer that is accurate, intuitive, and incredibly useful. But that’s not all – using its dual stereo IN, dual stereo THRU/OUT, and two separate OUTPUTs, you can wire it into your synth rig and use its dual waveform generators to give yourself an extra pair of oscillators or LFOs! It’s the ideal tool for every synth lover and modular user – from beginner to pro. (*) No soldering needed, the assembly process requires less than 20 minutesThe best companion for synth learnersEven though synthesizers are musical instruments first and foremost, learning about them is easier and more intuitive if we can use our eyes to supplement our ears. Studying waveforms, frequency and time relationships, audio signals, and control voltages become clear and immediate if we can see how they change and interact, not just listen to what they’re doing. Seeing these signals come alive in full color as we patch and tweak gives our learning process a huge boost! The oscilloscope, a tool for visualizing signals and voltages, has been around for many years – but as scientific instruments, they might not seem like something a musician could easily use. Not anymore – for the first time, an oscilloscope has been designed with the musician in mind! The NTS-2’s interface is simple, clean, and easy to use; rather than twiddling knobs and trying to understand obscure parameters, you can look at your signals and understand them in a matter of seconds. That way, your artistic focus can remain where it belongs: on making your music.A useful toolset for musiciansThe NTS-2 includes a variety of useful studio functions, all in a pocket-sized, elegant package that you can take anywhere.4 CHANNEL OSCILLOSCOPE:With its dual stereo inputs, you can study up to four signals at once, comparing and overlapping them with ease. A variety of display modes let you see your data in color, a huge advantage over the old oscilloscopes you’ve seen in science fiction movies! Its user interface is clear and quick, thanks to its dedicated menu buttons and clickable encoder knob, and its 240 x 320 pixel 2.8” color LCD is a joy to watch.FFT / SPECTRUM ANALYZER:To further dive into analyzing any signal, the NTS-2 also comes with a dedicated FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) mode with a real-time Spectrum Analyzer. These handy tools have always been out of reach for the synth musician because they either required expensive hardware or a nearby computer. Now you can carry them in your pocket!DUAL WAVEFORM GENERATOR:But the NTS-2 is much more than just an oscilloscope. The flexible Wave Generator mode has 2 oscillators with dedicated outputs, so you can test your synth rig or just get creative! Each oscillator can create a variety of waveforms – sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse, and noise – whose shape and phase can be adjusted to suit many applications. These sounds can be used in the audio range or as control voltage sources, and they can be set to cycle continuously or act as one-shot impulses; that means you can turn them into LFOs, envelopes, triggers, and control voltage generators, as well as sound sources. Attaching the NTS-2 to any patchable synthesizer instantly expands its power in useful ways, making it an analog synth player’s dream tool.TUNER:And of course, coming from KORG, this multi-functional utility kit wouldn’t be complete without a precise and easy-to-use Tuner with multiple display modes! Being able to receive and monitor up to 4 input signals at the same time, the NTS-2 is an analog synth player’s dream tool.Connectivity and ease of useThe NTS-2 offers plenty of ways to connect to your studio, despite its small footprint. Besides its 4-channel input and dual waveform output features, its dual stereo THRU/OUT ports let you leave it wired into your system. It’s much easier to understand what you’re doing if you can see the signals and use them at the same time, rather than constantly plugging and unplugging cables. This handy function lets you maintain your signal flow at all times – even when the NTS-2 has been powered off.Speaking of power, the NTS-2 maximizes portability and flexibility by using either batteries or a USB-C power supply, depending on your needs.Nu:Tekt DIY funAs with other Nu:Tekt products, the NTS-2 is a DIY (Do It Yourself) kit that is extremely easy and quick to assemble (see assembly video below). When you open the bundle with “Patch & Tweak with KORG”, you’ll find something extra: an exclusive set of transparent side panels for your NTS-2, letting it stand up at one of two different mounting angles for easy use in any studio or stage rig, as well as a BJOOKS and KORG Sticker set.Meet Bjooks and the “PATCH & TWEAK” seriesBjooks is known for the highly-acclaimed industry-standard books such as “PUSH TURN MOVE”, “PATCH & TWEAK”, “PEDAL CRUSH”, “PATCH & TWEAK with Moog”, and “SYNTH GEMS 1”.

Get down. Way Down.Get juice and squelch. Throbbing Drive. Greasy fatness. Liquid ooze. And all in genuine analog warmth and studio quality clarity. KORG’s minilogue – with its completely unique analog signal path, compact format, easy-to-play slim keys, and extensive sound capabilities – is one of the most popular, best selling synthesizers in music history. Now welcome the incredible limited edition minilogue bass; designed and voiced to add inspirational bass into your music. minilogue bass features programs created by a specially selected group of bass playing and programming pros from around the world so you get a big variety of rich, analog synth bass sounds that will inspire you and help your music stand out. Now’s the time to step outside the box and get down with the limited edition minilogue bass.Featuring bass preset programs developed with pro bassists and synth programmersAll of the programs on the minilogue bass have been optimized by professional bass players and synth programmers to fit perfectly into any recording or performance although they can all be edited and customized to your taste. You can change the thickness of the sound using the VCOs and voice mode, the brightness of the sound using the filter and so on. All of the 100 presets were newly created just for the minilogue bass and you can save up to 200 of your own sounds (100 preset programs and 100 user programs). In addition, all the programs for the original minilogue will also work perfectly in the minilogue bass giving you access to a huge library of sounds covering all possible music and sound genres.A powerful sound that’s only possible using authentic analog circuitryThe minilogue bass analog synthesizer circuitry generates sound that can’t be recreated on digital hardware and software synths, notably thickness, loudness and a massive sonic pallet of additional harmonics. And the intuitive, editable panel interface allows quick changes when playing live or in the studio. The minilogue bass includes two VCOs, a VCF, two EGs, a VCA and an LFO and features the unique wave shaping pioneered in the minilogue for generating oscillator harmonics, as well as multiple ways to modulate the sound including cross modulation, oscillator sync and a surprisingly powerful ring modulator. The high-pass filter features delay to expand the sonic possibilities.Eight voice modesThe four-voice polyphonic structure and eight voice modes inherited from the minilogue make it less likely that each sound will get cut off when you play, and also create an even more robust sound when you stack voices. You can trigger various effects with the press of a button, such as UNISON (which produces thick bass and lead sounds), MONO (which adds a sub-oscillator that plays an octave lower and works great for bass), and DELAY that you can trigger while delaying the sound. Voice mode: POLY: works as a four-voice poly synth DUO: works as a poly synth with two voices stacked in unison UNISON: plays all voices in unison, as a mono synth MONO: operates as a mono synth with sub-oscillator CHORD: plays chords DELAY: voices 2–4 play in delayed sequence after voice 1 plays ARP: plays the arpeggiator (maximum of 4 voices) SIDE CHAIN: lowers the volume of the previously-played voice when a new16-step sequencer onboardThe minilogue bass features an onboard sequencer that can memorize what you play in 16 steps. This polyphonic sequencer also includes motion sequence functionality, which memorizes the motions of up to four knobs or switches. With the sequencer, you can do real-time recording with overdub and step recording, and automatically play back repeated phrases while you use the keyboard to change the root position.Oscilloscope for visualizing the soundThe built in OLED (Organic EL Display) features an oscilloscope function which displays sound as waveforms. Being able to view changes in the parameters in real time provides great visual feedback as well as being addictive fun!Designed with a visually striking presenceThe top panel of the minilogue bass sports a rather unusual character representing a visual sense of a swelling synth bass sound. What’s more, the black and red inverted colors on the keys help to reduce the “hard to play” feeling some musicians have towards “black and white keys” providing an approachable and enjoyable instrument. The red-colored wood rear panel completes the high-toned and stylish design of the minilogue bass.minilogue bass Sound LibrarianThe minilogue bass Sound Librarian lets you easily reorder and organize the programs inside your minilogue bass and has the functionality to save your program library on your computer. In addition to managing your programs, it is used to load factory and bonus libraries distributed by KORG.

The most dazzling and expansive collection of sounds ever put into a Korg synthesizer 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 – 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 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 songs—let 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 kits—sounds 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 beats—sounds 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. 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. Set list mode that demonstrates its power in live performances NAUTILUS can organize all of the resources you need to get through a song—or a set—using 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 Sequence—regardless 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. 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. 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.

Shape your sound, bring it anywhere. The microKORG S continues to build on the success of the original. With a serious sound, ubiquitous design, and superior build quality, the microKORG analog modeling synthesizer became an instant world standard when it was released in 2002. Since then, the microKORG has found its way into the hands of musicians far and wide, and now, receives an update to ensure it will remain one of the world’s most beloved synthesizers for years to come. The new microKORG S features a built-in 2+1 speaker system with power that far exceeds its size. Its body sports an elegant white motif, and features new presets that represent the sounds of a new generation. Beneath the microKORG S’s sophisticated exterior hides a sound engine both brutal in strength and universal in application. Built-in 2+1 speaker system ensures a rich and full sound at any volume Inside that compact body of the microKORG, we've included a carefully constructed speaker system consisting of stereo speakers with clear imaging, plus a woofer that emanates a startling amount of low frequency. The chassis uses a new box structure, and the combination of ample box volume and a bass reflex port takes full advantage of the speakers, thereby delivering a rich sense of volume that exceeds the size of the speakers, a clear sense of positioning, and a rich low-frequency range. In addition to the battery-powered operation of the existing model, the inclusion of the built-in speakers allows an easy yet full-fledged performance experience even in an environment where there is no power supply or PA. Since the speaker box is contained within the chassis of the instrument, the vibrations from the speaker can be felt through your fingertips. This tactile feedback allows you to experience the same subtle and dynamic response as when playing an acoustic instrument or electric piano. Increased memory, new programs, and additional user programs The memory capacity has been increased from the original microKORG. Mainly centered on simple and present sounds that shine on stage, we've added 64 powerful preset programs that meet the needs of the changing music scene, including clearly defined and punchy leads, electric pianos that sound great in an ensemble, and powerful and solid basses. In addition, we've also newly provided 64 additional slots for user programs, so you can save your own original sounds without overwriting the presets. This encourages a sound design process that's ideal for this instrument: select a sound that you like, and edit it. Elegant new design retains the spirit of the original The microKORG's distinctive form has been beloved worldwide for more than ten years. The microKORG S adds speakers, yet carries on the looks and compactness of the original. In addition, the front panel features an elegant white reboot, updated with maple wood for the side panels. Favorite Select function There's a new Favorite Select function that lets you assign up to eight of your favorite programs. Since this lets you instantly recall the sound you need, it makes live performance even more convenient. All of the functionality of the original microKORG, plus so much more This new instrument carries on all of the original microKORG's functionality, including the ease of selecting a program of a desired musical genre and then editing the selected sound, a vocoder with an included miniature microphone, and battery operation that allows you to perform anywhere. As a beginner’s first synthesizer that's easy to use, as a supplementary live synth for the stage, or as a sound module for production, the microKORG S will continue to play a role in every music scene around for many years to come.

With its light-weight body that’s less than 10 kg including the speakers, the B2N can be easily transported in this soft case. The front side is made of a navy camouflage fabric and has a large pocket that can accommodate a music stand, and the side and back are solid black, resulting in an elaborately crafted design that features two fabrics.

Automatic accompaniments take your performances further XE20 is equipped with an automatic accompaniment function called "Styles," which lets you automatically produce a full backing band simply by playing one finger or a chord in the left hand. This accompaniment will change according to the keyboard location or chord that you play, making it easy to create simple improvisations just by using your right hand to play a melody along with the accompaniment. More than 280 different styles are provided for musical genres from around the world, and each style includes four variations ranging from simple to complex, plus an intro and an ending for the beginning and end of the song. You can use these buttons to switch between these variations in time with the rhythm to add variety to your performances. And, since the XE20 has the same 88-note keyboard as a grand piano, you can enjoy duets with a family member or friend. Perform your favorite songs with the XE20 Once you're comfortable playing a song, you can record your own performance on the XE20 and save it for later. In addition to your own songs, you can use the Song Mode to play back on board demo songs, MP3 or WAV audio data, or S Standard MIDI Files from any commercially available USB flash drive, while you perform along with the playback.

The keyboard is finely balanced, providing a natural, effortless playing experience.
