The Nautilus Remote offers remote control via MIDI (SysEx) of the Korg Nautilus workstation. Use it as a complementary control in studio or live situations where the original screen is not in reach, not visible enough or simply does not provide the haptics of an iPad touchscreen. The app covers a set of relevant pages to support you in a range of situations and serves as a helpful second screen even when it comes to in-depth editing, however it does not replace the Nautilus interface.
