Korg’s RADIAS combines traditional and forward-thinking concepts in both synthesis and physical design. Based on Korg’s proprietary MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) engine, this 24-voice synthesizer offers a variety of synthesis algorithms together with multiple effects, new comb filter and wave shaping features, modulation sequencing, as well as new formant-motion vocoding. The sound module can be used independently or teamed with the unique dedicated keyboard, creating a seamlessly integrated instrument. Each of the 256 onboard Programs is comprised of up to four timbres, which can be split, layered or operate independently on separate MIDI channels, allowing the RADIAS to function as a powerful performance system or multitimbral sound generator.
Korg RADIAS Synthesizer Features:
- Two oscillators per timbre, which share the low-aliasing design of Korg’s OASYS
- Modeled analog, formant and Korg’s classic DWGS waveforms, PCM playback, as well as ring modulation and sync
- Dual multimode filters, three envelopes, two LFOs, three modulation sequencers Six virtual patches (for freely connecting any of 11 modulation sources to any of 15 destinations)
- 2-band EQ, Drive, 11 types of Wave Shaping
- Punch parameter emphasizes the attack portion of the sound
- Each Program contains an arpeggiator with six pattern types and two Step Sequencers
- 16-band vocoder section, each with level and pan controls
- Formant Motion function records up to 7.5 seconds of incoming formant information per Program so users can recreate vocoder effects even when no microphone is present
- Headset microphone included
- Two insert effects for each timbre, plus a program-wide master effect.
- 30 included effects types range from delay, chorus and reverb, to compressor and talking modulator
