KORG RADIAS 49-Key Analog Modeling Synthesizer Vocorder Keyboard Review

KORG RADIAS 49-Key Analog Modeling Synthesizer Vocorder Keyboard Feature

• Maximum Polyphony - 24 voices
• 16-band vocoder with variable level/pan for each channel
• 30 Effects
• A detected envelope can be used as a virtual patch source or effect control source, or to generate note-on/off (maximum 8-note polyphony)
• Arpeggio Type - 6 types (Up/Down/Alt1/Alt2/Random/Trigger)

With a bold new approach that is at once both daring and familiar, RADIAS exceeds common analog expectations and rapidly takes off for uncharted territories. Based on Korg's cutting-edge MMT 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. RADIAS offers an innovative design that can be custom configured to suit your set-up. The control module can be used independently or teamed with the unique dedicated keyboard, creating a seamlessly integrated instrument that delivers the sounds of the future - today. The heart of RADIAS beats with Korg's cutting-edge MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) synth engine, and borrows much of its modeling techniques from Korg's flagship OASYS - eliminating aliasing noise in even the highest frequencies and delivering clean, pure waveforms. RADIAS provides two oscillators for each timbre. Between them, they deliver modeled analog waveforms, but also format waveforms, noise, ring modulation, sync, plus both classic and up-to-date PCM waveforms. When using the analog modeled waveforms, a variety of oscillator modulation algorithms - including pulse-width modulation, a massive Unison mode, Korg's proprietary VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) or cross modulation - can be used to create complex sounds, even from a single oscillator. Two 32-step sequencers (both can be linked for playback) Number of Programs - 256 (16 x 16 banks, including program/user area); 128 Timbre Templates; 128 Insert effect Templates; 128 Master effect Templates MIDI In, Out, Thru / USB TYPE B connector Control Inputs - Assignable Pedal; Assignable Switch; keyboard (FROM KYBD)
