CS80 Tutorial on the Korg Radias

[Tonneman]

You set the EG1 and EG2 like they are used for the amps for oscillator 1 and 2, but hey, EG2 is for both of the oscillator's amps, and EG1 is for the filter envelope. And since you never set the 'EG1 Intensity' values, setting EG1 has NO effect!

Thanks for the video. Really helpful, as I just got a Radias, and am going to be learning it for awhile, I can tell. Such a nice synth!

[PlanetReeceMusic]

How would you use the RADIAS without a keyboard? Please reply!

[GoodOmenMusic]

Thankyou Notjarr,

I just used the same parmeters for teh Radias EXB and it worked fine.

Excellent thanks for posting.Pity Korg didnt do a video tutorial, learnt more from this vid than reading the laborious manual...... navigation complete lol

[notjarre]

@dazboot2000 Thanks for the comment - glad it was useful for you :)

[sonicthehedgehogxp]

do i need that keybord to run the synth?

[notjarre]

@sonicthehedgehogxp Hi. No - there is a rack version of the Radias

[duperdude25]

Very nice way to show the possibilities of this synth. I have the Radias at home, but seeing someone else do some patches live suddenly makes few things more clear and ideas start to come in. Thank you! Very nicely done.

[notjarre]

@duperdude25 Cool - thanks for the comment & glad you found it useful. It's an awesome synth - I'm still getting to grips with it!!

[IanCanefire]

I really enjoy the Korg radias. I got mine for $500 bucks two years ago from the original owner who was getting out of using hardware. It is a great piece of kit. I am still learning it 2 years later.

This is cool, I just got my Radias (late in the game I know) and this helps me as I learn the beast.

@landonewts Great - glad the video was useful. It's an awesome synth - I'm still getting to grips with it!!

Very usefull video....Can i ask you,if you want to use the KORG RADIAS modul with another midi kbd.[a KORG tr for example],can you do that,and with the same performance of sound and programs,or you lose something?

[rdproductions01]

@whitewolfy1000

The RADIAS has a MIDI-connector, so you can connect it to every midi-keyboard. You lose nothing: all, except the pitch band and the modulation wheel, is on the main RADIAS board.

[notjarre]

@whitewolfy1000 Hi - no, you can attach any midi keyboard and control the synth using that :)

Finally some tutorial about the Radias, please share some more.

Great job, Thank you.

[EDraven32]

IF you're using a controller besides the Radias keyboard, you can use aftertouch for the filter action instead of the mod wheel.

5* Very good tutorial, thx you !!! :)

[slammah2012]

If you are really going for a CS80 -The Pulse and Saw and Noise on A CS80 goes serially into the HPF first, and then into the LPF filter with a slight amount of Key Follower on the Filter and after the filter is where the sin wave can be added. Because the Sin wave can not be realised using the Waveshaper, I suggest using a 4 Timbre setup ....1 timbre for bank 1 sawtooth/ pulse/ noise/ with filter ....timbre 2 for sinwave unfiltered(bypass) with the same pitch and AMP EG as Timbre 1....

[slammah2012]

@slammah2012 then Timbre 3 and 4 would be the Bank 2 counterparts to complete the Dual CS80 Structure.....

Keep all LFO's consistant and synced as the Subosc on a CS80 is Monophonic.

[nikkm58]

@slammah2012 Yes setting up the filters like this - serial, HPF, LPF with the mod wheel modulating the LPF is getting pretty close....

[Teedotyyz]

Thanks for the demo! Look forward to programming it this weekend.

[jarrelana]

wow!...A rack very "sexy"...LoL!

good sounds!

[Zoolookuk]

Excellent - little things like this really help you understand what's going on. The Radias is a really nice synth when you strip away the flash inbuilt patches.

[notjarre]

Thanks. It really is an amazing synth. I'm still getting to know it, but building up sounds from the ground up like this is a great way to do that. Thanks for commenting.

[fischek]

nice tutorial, I put it on my blog synthzoom

[notjarre]

Thanks - good to have it on your blog :)

[kandarv]

[notjarre]

hey, no problem. glad you found it helpful kandarv :)

[Yorkshirelad69]
