Korg Radias Synthesizer & Vocoder
Perfect condition - It comes with the original condenser mic for vocoder. One of the most talked-about debuts at NAMM was the Radias from Korg. Oddly named and visually striking, the Radias is powered by 'Multi Modelling Technology' — a mixture of analogue modelling, PCM waveforms, a simplified FM implementation and formant (vocal-type) waves. We first saw MMT on the EMX1 Electribe, but Korg have taken things further for the Radias, plundering the mighty OASYS workstation to ensure the modelled analogue oscillators are low on aliasing, high in fat. Throw in a versatile filter section, a vocoder, powerful distortion and waveshaping, plus a virtual patch system and decent effects, and you have a stonking sound engine. If it's rhythmic fun and interaction you seek, there are drum kits, an arpeggiator and dual step sequencers. All this is housed in a body that bears a passing resemblence to the MSR synth — although in a splendid silver finish. Ad ID:
