DAMPER jack
For the damper–also known as the sustain pedal– you can
connect either a standard footswitch, or Korg's special half-
damper pedal, the optional DS-1H.
The DS-1H is a continuous pedal designed specifically for
piano-style damper control, with the look and feel of an
acoustic piano's sustain pedal. It allows more subtle control

Turning the power on
Before you make any connections, check the following.
• Be sure you're using an AC power outlet of the correct
voltage for your unit.
• Use only the included power cord.
• Move the MASTER VOLUME slider all the way down.
• Make sure that the (power button) is turned off.
• When connecting an external output device such as a
mixer or powered monitor speakers, turn the volume all the
way down on these devices before turning off the power.
Connecting the power cord and external
output devices
1. Connect the power cord.
First connect the included power cord to the NAUTILUS'
power input, and then to the power outlet.
2. Move the NAUTILUS' front-panel MASTER VOLUME
slider all the way down, to the minimum position.
3. Connect the NAUTILUS to your mixer or monitor
system.
Connect the NAUTILUS's audio outputs (main) L/MONO
and R jacks to your mixer or amplified monitor speakers. If
you're monitoring through headphones, connect them to the
headphone jack on the left rear of the NAUTILUS. The
headphones carry the main stereo outputs, just like analog
outputs L/MONO and R, and USB.
4. Press on the (power button).
Press the rear panel (power button) to turn on the power.
Wait until the startup screen has finished being displayed.
5. Turn on your stereo amp or powered monitors.
6. Play the keyboard, and gradually move the MASTER
VOLUME slider up until the volume is at an
appropriate level.
In some cases, the NAUTILUS will not start up properly if
certain USB devices are connected. In this case, disconnect
the USB devices, wait 10 seconds, and then turn on the
power again. Formatting the device on the NAUTILUS may
solve the problem. (See "Formatting media" of the OG)
Auto Power-Off
The NAUTILUS has an auto power-off function that
automatically turns off the power when the keyboard or front
panel buttons are not used for a certain length of time (the
time is set to four hours by default).
of the damper than a simple switch; the further down you
press the pedal, the more that the sound sustains. Set the
pedal polarity so that the half-damper pedal will function
correctly. (See "DAMPER jack" of the OG.)
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack
This lets you connect a simple on/off footswitch, such as the
optional Korg PS-1. (See "Setting up the Assignable Switch
and Pedal" of the OG.)
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack
This lets you connect a continuous controller pedal, such as
the Korg EXP-2 foot controller or Korg XVP-20 EXP/VOL
pedal, to use as an assignable modulation source. (See
"Setting up the Assignable Switch and Pedal" of the OG.)
• "Activity" excludes using the MASTER VOLUME slider.
When the power turns off, any un-saved edits will be lost.
Make sure to save your data before this occurs.
You can change the time it takes for the NAUTILUS to turn
off automatically, or disable the auto power-off feature
entirely. (See "Auto Power-Off" of the OG.)
Turning off the NAUTILUS
When you've finished working with the NAUTILUS, set the
front panel MASTER VOLUME slider and the volume of
your powered monitor or stereo amp to zero, and then press
the rear panel (power button) to turn off the power.
After you press the power button, you can let go once all of
the LEDs on the panel buttons have gone dark.
When you turn off the power, the Programs,
Combinations, Global settings, etc. will revert to their
unedited state. If you want to keep your edits, you'll need
to Write them. For more information, see "Saving your
edits" on page 12.
User Multisamples and Samples will disappear when you
turn off the power. If you want to use these user
multisamples and samples the next time you turn on the
power, you'll need to save the data, and load them in
again after powering up the NAUTILUS.
Note: Samples and Multisamples can be set to load
automatically at startup. For more information, see
"Automatically loading sample data" of the OG.
Never turn off the power while data is being written into
internal memory. The display will show the message
"Now writing into internal memory" when this is in
progress.
Never turn off the power while media such as the internal
drive is being accessed. Turning off the power while disk
access is occurring may render the media unusable.
After turning the power off, please wait for at least ten
seconds before you turn the power on again.
Never unplug the power cord while this instrument is
turned on.
Unplugging the power cord while the instrument is still
on may cause the data or user settings to be lost, or
cause malfunctions such as damage to the internal drive.
