RH3 hammer-weighted keybed with aftertouch technology Building on the original design Korg has incorporated a high-end design in the form of the RH3 keybed. This premium-grade four stage weighted hammer action keybed replicates the feel tone and playability of a grand piano – delivering an ultra-realistic playing experience. The keys are gradually weighted just like a grand piano with lower notes feeling heavier and higher notes feeling lighter to the touch. Korg has introduced aftertouch technology to the now iconic Nautilus range combined with the semi-weighted keybed – the Nautilus AT delivers maximum expressivity. Aftertouch works by measuring the pressure exerted on the first strike of a key. Once detected aftertouch kicks in by allowing you to change the tone/sound of a note after youve pressed it. This allows you to modulate the sound and articulate your playing further than conventional keybeds.
