THE WORLD’S MOST AUTHENTIC VINTAGE ELECTRIC GUITARS FOR KORG KRONOS/NAUTILUS
EXs172 & 173 Kelfar Kithara for Korg Kronos/Nautilus faithfully reproduces vintage electric guitars from 1962 - 1980, mapping each nuance, note, and variance for clean articulations and expressive dynamics. EXs172 has Clean and Jazz sounds. EXs173 offers Jazz and Distortion Guitars. Combine both Kithara for Korg Kronos/Nautilus for a complete, authentic library of electric guitar sounds.

Kelfar Technologies recorded each vintage instrument separately and used original, period-specific amps, mics, and distortion pedals to reproduce each classic tone. Dynamics, velocities, switching, and round robin/wave sequencing per program and sound add to its authenticity. Each instrument sounds and behaves exactly as it should - but all through your Korg Kronos/Nautilus keyboard!

The Kithara Library for Korg Kronos/Nautilus offers much to explore and enjoy in one package.
•Full control over each element of the guitar tone, reverb, delay/chorus
