Korg Radias emulates the phased strings of the Eminent 310U - Equinoxe part 2

[holicat098]

This a sound!

[rdproductions01]

Did you tweak the sound? My 1976 sounds different. Not much, but still...

[Yorkshirelad69]

@rdproductions01 No not at all.

[musicroman]

Very nice sounds, I like it

[Yorkshirelad69]

@magickbear Why thank you!

[chromeheads]

@Yorkshirelad69 are there any ensemble string section sounds comparable to the best plug-ins these days (such as Vienna etc)?

[maisonvague]

Quite passable, indeed! Very nice!

[nokia3210fuck]

Korgs Keyboards are getting uglyer and uglyer

[TrowbridgeHardcore]

christ if u removed the phase i reckon this would sound like moby - go

[oli4musicfreak]

good works



[gdebruin82]

Hi Yorkshire, I just downloaded this myself but yet it sounds completely different from how you have it setup. any chance you might let me in on how your controls are setup so I can get the sound spot on to this? Many thanks!

[Yorkshirelad69]

@gdebruin82 Hi m8. I didn't do anything. I Literally just downloaded the patch and it worked just fine!

[gdebruin82]

@Yorkshirelad69 Interesting, well I'll try re-downloading it and see what happens. thanks for the reply!

[9JohnSmith9]

This video shows that the Radias isn't good only for trance.

[thekilon]

great sounds, showing that with some effort any synth can emulate even the most vintage analogs.

[icl8038]

suena muy limpio, muy digital...el sonido del eminent tanto en Oxygene como en Equinoxe es más sucio al parecer por los chip del mismo órgano y por el chorus analogo que este trae no obstante suena bonito el Radias!.

saludos.

[Yorkshirelad69]

@icl8038 Yes I agree it sounds too clean and digital but it's still a pretty good emulation. I do have a Real Eminent 310U but sadly I have no room in my house for it at the moment and have to keep it at work for now.

[rvdextron]

if i want Jarre i go jarre sector

[pitzfitz]

Who cares what it would sound like without the phase shifter! 99% of the patches on any synth would sound like crap without added effects. They are an important element in the sound creation palette. I think this sounds awesome and pretty damn true to the original.

[Decimator7]

Any decent string patch running through a "Small Stone"-like phase shifter will give that "instant Jarre" sound :)

The phase-shifter is important, but the most important thing is the the Eminent 310U strings (unbeatable and still unmatched).

I'd be curious to hear how this patch sounds WITHOUT the phase-shifter. I'd bet it does not sound like an Eminent.

Radias is OK, but I do prefer ION/Micron/Miniak and other Q/Virus synths ^^

[Yorkshirelad69]

Hi Decimator, I agree with you but this was really to simply demo the Radias doing a reasonable emulation without the aid of any additional FX.

[gnrfanatic141414]

thats more of a filter, but whatever

[DANCERRAVER]

OMG thats just like JMJ........5 stars mate

[ringscape]

Wow! Impressive!!!! Is the same sound!!!!! Good work!

[ProjektU9]

One word.....

Amazing Gear..5*

greetings ...

ps..my next thing to buy:-)..this vid was the last, to smelt my mouth for this Synth...hehehe

[StudioF]

the radias rocks. 5*

[Microsloth]

OK...thanks!

[Microsloth]

Wow... great emulation. I'm sold--gonna buy a Radias.

[Yorkshirelad69]

Hi M8. Before you rush out and buy one, you only get that classic sound over about 1.5 octaves. Do checkout some of the other Radias videos on here, you get an awful lot of synth for your money (mine was < £700). Checkout the videos from rfoshaug in the video response above!

[kitkatworld]

Some people were unsatisfied of the original Radias (your engine) because the extreme complication of the controls. But I can see that you can do truly awesome things with it, it sounds like nothing else (no ext effect, yes ?)

Do you know the japanese band Betta flash, they got only one Radias and one Microkorg, nothing else, they bounce like hell with them !

I have the "baby Radias", the R3 and it's a nice toy, easy to use ^^

Great demo, post more with your jewels o_O

[Yorkshirelad69]

Hi Kitka

Yes, that sound is purely from the Radias alone. The Radias seems complicated at first but you soon get the hang of it's controls.

[knoblandia]

simply wonderful. i love my radias :)

[manuelyamaha55]

Sonido muy original, perfecto, Felicitaciones.(*****)

[marineboyecosse]

Rune, any chance you could do a version of that patch for a virtual synth??

[rfoshaug]

He he, nice to see my sound in action! :-)

For another example of this sound in use, check out this one: /watch?v=9IOyQIyrPFI

For Oxygene II, I used two of these, one was an octave higher than the other to make it even more "full" sounding. :-)

[Yorkshirelad69]

Hi Rune!

Yeah it really is nice. Barring a real Eminent 310 or a Nord Wave this is as good as it gets!

[akissgr1]

yes I have this preset and its really nice..

[roms303]

that sounds so beautiful...I got a Radias......can you tell me what preset you used...

...love JMJ....

[Yorkshirelad69]

Hi roms303, thanks for the nice comment! There is a link to the right if you look in the More Info section about this video, it's right at the bottom.

[module19]

Nice, I realy dig these sort of Pads, I had not heard a Radias do pads yet. I had one for a short time but sold it to buy some other gear. Wish I kept it...

Cheers :-)

[36012v64]

Thanks Yorky...looking forward to it.

[36012v64]

Fantastic effort and incredible sound. Is there any chance of doing longer piece and angled from above?

[Yorkshirelad69]

Hi M8

I may do another, fuller, more complete version at some point with more instruments and if I do I'll do it angled so you can see what's going on!

[lavakava]

korg radias sounds very expansive and punchy compared to the virus which has an aggressive, low fidelity sound.

[nobby2000]

Very nice and sounds just like the original

[grooveproject]

great sound, like original

[576557]

this is great, at last a sound that all out there can compare to other machines that can do the same, you are on my subscription list, i have a Radias its cool.

thanks, will look out for other vids.

[shaphire1975]

excelents i like you tecniqa

[shaphire1975]

very good radias is maravellous i like it his sounds is good

[hogberto]

ooh nice. did you use a preset for this? which one?

[Yorkshirelad69]

Hi Hogberto. for some reason Youtube won't let me post the link in a reply so checkout the more info section for the video, it's in there!

[hogberto]

thanks mate. let us know if you put up any more Radias vids.

[Yorkshirelad69]

Hi weaponEx. Yes, I believe you can assign each timbre it's own midi channel. I can't be 100% positive though as I'm still new to this synth but I'm sure someone will be quick to point out if I'm wrong :)

[weaponEX]

Can the timbres be assigned to different midi channels? Could I theoretically have 4 midi controllers plugged into the rack, controlling each individual timbre? (or more usefully, 2 with a split on each)

You can do this with the virus with a thru box

[GroovBird]

Yes, and yes. You can assign a MIDI channel to each timbre, and if you can set the range of notes for which they play, so in effect if you assign two timbres to the same channel and set their "keyboard range", you'll have it split.
