nnovative synthesis
teamed with remarkable fidelityn 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 not only modeled analog waveforms,
but also formant 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. RADIAS provides a
dual-filter structure, allowing the two filters to be used individually,
side by side, or in series for maximum versatility. Filter
1 is highlighted by a continuously variable multi-mode filter, embracing
Low Pass, High Pass and Band Pass modes ? and
new treatments in between. This dual filter arrangement provides a
vast range of sounds that would be unimaginable from just
a single filter, and opens up new sonic possibilities including
some fantastic comb filtering. Three Envelope Generators (EG) are used
to apply time-varying changes to the pitch, filter cutoff, and
amp level, as well as many other parameters. The classic
and intuitive four-stage ADSR design has been enhanced with five
different attack and release curves, allowing the EG contours to
be crafted with new levels of precision and articulation. Two
LFOs are available to apply cyclic changes to a host
of synth parameters. Six LFO waveforms are provided, including the
popular ?Sample & Hold? stepped wave. Each waveform can be
extensively modified via the Shape control, greatly expanding the versatility
of the LFO section for creating highly complex types of
modulation. Adding Drive can produce the distinctive warmth of a
true analog synthesizer and can also distort the sound intensely
to generate new overtones. The amount of Drive is dependent
on the level of each voice as it enters the
mixer, so you can create nuances that cannot be achieved
by an external effect unit. RADIAS offers eleven innovative types
of Wave shaping ? even recreating the tonal character of
an electromagnetic pickup. The Drive/Waveshaping circuit can be placed in
different locations in the signal chain, affecting the sound in
very meaningful ways. An additional Punch Level setting emphasizes the
attack portion of the sound, letting you create sounds with
even more impact. Clearly, this is a radical new instrument
that is not bound by conventions of the past! Dynamic
modulation station Three Modulation Sequencers can change a parameter's
value in discreet steps over time, similar to using sequencing
control voltages (CV) on analog synthesizers of the past. The
