B10 · Post by **B10** » Sat Jul 10, 2021 3:14 am

anyone noticed on the Korg Nautlius keys (some black keys make that spring noise when you play it)? i replaced my Korg and i still get it on one or 2 black keys that sounds like that, the rest of the key are quiet. any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,
i also had a problem with the loud spring sound on one black key (gis3) and the occasional sound on the other two keys. I returned Nautilus and will wait longer until the problem is resolved.

it sounds like this is a known issue with those black keys. this is my second Korg and i still have the same issue on different back KEYS. THE SOUND IS ANNOYING when i don't play my music loud. I'm going to replace it tomorrow again for the 3rd time hopefully i don't get this problem anymore. we will see

I just returned my second KORG NAUTILUS (73-key) today, and replaced it the 88-key one.

it will take few days to get shipped to me. i will post an update and let you know. when i usually got the Korg Nautilus i tested the keys. at first the all sound quiet. then few days later, i would hear the spring annoying noise on few black keys. but I figured I will change from 73 keys to 88 hopefully they put more care to it.

No such issue from my 73 Nautilus. Hope you get your issue resolved with the 88.

i just got the 88 key nautilus and its weighted keys but they don't act like a piano key, im not real happy with it. if you try and hit any key its takes longer than a real piano key to come back up. so i cant play 2 fingers to hit its twice fast enough. this is just plain stupid on KORGs part. i don't know what to do at this point, i want to return it, but i don't see Yamaha or Roland phantom as a comparable option. dang

Thank you for the information. I'm sorry that the Nautilus 88 also has a poor keys. I decided to buy Kronos 73, I hope these problems will not be there.

The more money Korg invests in software, the further they move away from what makes keyboardists really happy?

They lag Yamaha and Rolands high end keybeds by half a century

Except for Korg Italy, that uses fatar keybeds on the pa4x..

Just for information, I exchanged Nautilus 73 for Kronos 2 73, a new piece. The a2 key made a resonant and spring sound when striking harder (eg staccato). The other 2 keys have the same problems, but to a lesser extent. I complained about the defect and received a new piece of Korg Kronos 2 73. He did the same, but on different keys.I also returned this Kronos to the seller. I am disappointed with the quality of Korg ...

Korg equipment for the most part after Korg OASYS has been of low quality.
When I received my Korg Kronos in 2011 the whole thing virtually fell apart, the keybed had issues, I had to return it 3 times to be fixed eventually they replaced the keybed but it was still inferior quality, the alpha wheel came off.
Noisy fan constant issues - replacement but still issues.
Korg should only make Software and outsource the hardware part of the production.
My Korg OASYS is solid but that instrument almost sent Korg to the cleaners.
Just by looking at the Nautilus on videos one can see it is of inferior components. It looks cheap....I'm not talking about software just hardware.
The software is supreme!
Plastic Garbage.
Korg when are you going to stop making plastic toys?

Same Keys on manny models, And YES, Annoying! Korg must solve that.

Does the Nautilus 61 have the same Keybed as the Kronos 2 61?

I tried one (Nautilus 61) in store briefly and I like keybed. It seems that mechanic is better than Kronos that I owned before, it doesn't have aftertouch though.
