The RADIAS is a hybrid instrument, both by synthses DIFFERENT types it offers, as its shape and the concept is the basis for its establishment:
-That is a multiple synth synthse: modlisation analog DWGS waveforms, PCM vocoder.
It consists of two separate lments: a rack, the heart of the synth and keyboard that can be acquired sparment ddi, making it an original instrument. The rack has a multitude of Controller in faade: 39 control knobs, 47 buttons, the keyboard - which is also the support of the rack structure with mtallique - to see the dot pitch and modulation in form of wheels. The set is very well Designed, trs trs innovative design well, even if inspired by vintage designs. The layout of the instrument is variable rack survey placed left, center or right. The keyboard comes with a small tablet that can receive mtal Controller, Expander, or a laptop (if there is no fear that he picks up).
CT Connect (the rack): a hand-out L / R, 1 single L / R, USB, MIDI I / O / T, Audio Line IN, Audio IN Mic / Line + Audio IN for the condenser microphone supplied , pedals, footswitch, taken to KB (the RADIAS KB). On the keyboard, there are only taken from the rack.
There are 256 programs with Progs 12 Vocoder, 4 DDIS Audio IN, Init Progs 16, 32 Drum Kits, 8 Progs Init (= Programs or kits of virgins using its own bases Creations) 128 effects insert, 128 master effects. Pfff, has done a lot ... The styles covered include: contemporary music and ... contemporary music (House, techno, DnB, Electro, Dub ...), but with some programs "curious" worthy of a good old keyboard arranger. Everything is in ditable and forth and sideways, or from the faade PC / Mac provided. A program consists of four stamps, a stamp of two oscillators + gnrateur a noise. A drum kit can be called as a stamp. Each stamp benefits advantageously two multimode filters that can operate in or parallle SERIES. One can "slide" from one mode filter (LPF, HPF, BPF) and the other with a knob, which is not on his piti: Dramatically it's changing. The elements that transcend the capabilities and magnify sound: the arpgiateur and step sequencers. These are crucial lments the synthetic texture. Try it, you'll understand.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple ... for a gas plant. The possibilities are enormous, but the interface is simple, easy prsence by the software.
The manual is complete, in French, trs well. Could be even better when-: symtriques out? No approach 'object' (how to do this, how to do this), but only caractritiques list.
Ten of any fawn: connate it so much worse, bravo Korg.

SOUNDS

The standards are sound, rich, variable and Varis, electronic rev, or else synthetic type vintage (Wurly, Organ ...). The RADIAS is an instrument that has the personality that rings and trs well: some programs are really famous! In addition, the effects are of excellent quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I got it yesterday (Finally! Since the time I mate of the video dmo !!!), and I ballad about the programs, I test the vocoder instrument standard.
I like the personality of this synth: look, sound, caractritiques, sequencers intuitive. Trs diffrent a workstation, what I was looking for.
Before discovering, j'tais attracted a Nordlead (2x, 3 or G2) or the Roland V-Synth. I heard the Radiant: calm! The ratio quality / price trs good, even with the introductory price (1530 for the rack, just under 200 for the keyboard).
TRS is a good, an excellent choice ... however, the attempt is to adopt it: then prvenez your wallet first!
