Thank you for this video. I'm wondering if the Korg Nautilus uses the same type/size battery and same location. I purchased a Nautilus 88 in July/2023, and I'm already getting a low battery message. I can't believe it! Thanks for all the tutorial videos. They really help a lot.

Hey I have the same problem but I have the Roland Juno - DS. I'm hoping when I open it the battery is right there like yours to change haha

Thankyou for this. Is there a chance that the internal settings will be lost in the short time that there is is no battery in the holder? J

[@narfsounds]

No, it just keeps time

Merci!!! and please if i wont change it at all, will it affect the functionality anyhow? i was asking korg CS but they told me ..bring it to service :D. no way... nt gonna be bothered with such obstructions ...

It doesn’t affect the performance of the keyboard. It will affect file management, whenever you save a file, it will be set to January 1, 2009.
