Korg Forums

I’ve read more than once that Korg is going to offer a conversion program that will convert programs on the Kronos to the Nautilus format. When is this coming out? How is it used? Does it run on a PC? Considering that Sweetwater has a 48 month purchase plan for the Nautilus for only 6 more days, I would like to have some definite information about this.

you won't get definite info, as of today.

This is all that we know,,, Luciano/James spoke in general terms:

Maybe you can squeeze more info out of Korg USA support.

I wouldn't accept vague statements on something as important as a conversion program. It sounds like it has workarounds.

I have a Nautilus on order so that I can begin the conversion of my Kronos libraries. As I don't have it yet, this is conjecture, but I don't expect this to be an arduous task.

I expect Programs will open and sound as they should. Hopefully, controller/knob/switch assignments will be intact. I expect KARMA will be ignored and drums will have to be re-done. Combis are obviously a bigger issue but I have, for the most part, steered clear of them in my libraries.

I've noticed the Nautilus Documentation maturing since early December 2020. Usually this means things are getting close to release/ship. Hopefully a conversion program will appear out of thin air in the near future as absence of such would be contrary to everything we've been lead to believe.
