Korg NAUTILUS 61 AT Operation Manual page 22

Introduction to NAUTILUS
1. In the upper right of the display, press the menu
button.
A list of menu commands will appear.
2. Select a menu command by pressing it with your
finger.
A dialog box for the selected menu command will appear.
Check-type commands will not display a dialog box; their
status will be switches, and the list will close.
• To close the list without selecting a command, press the
display somewhere other than the list, or press the EXIT
button.
3. For a parameter in a dialog box, select it by pressing it
with your finger, and use the VALUE dial or +/−
buttons to enter its value.
4. To execute the command, press the OK or ENTER
button. If you decide not to execute the command,
press the Cancel button or the EXIT button.
The dialog box will close.
Compare command
Use this when you wish to compare the edits you have made
to a program or combination's sound with the un-edited
original (i.e., the sound that is written into memory).
When editing a program or combination, execute the
command, and the last-written settings for that program
number or combination number will be recalled. When you
execute the command once again, you will return to the
settings that you were editing.
If compare command will not appear on the page menu
command, you cannot return to the settings that you were
editing.
In SEQUENCER mode, you can use the command to make
"before and after" comparisons immediately after using
realtime recording or step recording to record a song, or after
performing a track edit operation.
For example, this can be used effectively when realtime-
recording a track for a song.
1. Realtime-record a MIDI track. (Take 1)
2. Once again, realtime-record on the same track.
(Take 2)
3. Execute the command, and take 1 will be recalled.
4. Execute the command once again, and take 2 will be
recalled.
5. If at step 3 you once again realtime-record on the
same track (take 3), the object of the Compare
function will now be take 1.
If at step 4 you once again realtime-record on the same track
(take 3), the object of the Compare function will be take 2.
In this way, the Compare function lets you recall the
previous recording or the previous state of event editing.

5. Using the Quick Access buttons
Select a combination of button functions that corresponds to
how you will operate the NAUTILUS. These buttons can be
used to jump to the pages you set, and to select the modes.
They can also be used as playback, stop, record and other
buttons in SEQUENCER mode.
The button function settings can be accessed from the Quick
Access page in GLOBAL mode. (See "Configuring the
QUICK ACCESS buttons" on page 176.)
When you press a QUICK ACCESS button along with a
