Korg Radias Synthesizer Demo by Nemmo

[hardweird]

how come i think this sounds very digital and not really like cool modeled analogue sound...which korg tries to sell to me. :/

[mumulove]

@ThePukkadj I have no children. I dont want to smell your Korg.

[Neuronaluniverse]

Nice machine!! And welcome to neuronaluniverse

[musicroman]

Excellent, I like it

[FunkMasterP5200]

Every time i watch a korg radias vid a small amount of liquid seeps out of my mouth and ass

[marillo18]

@FunkMasterP5200 lol

[sonicthehedgehogxp]

do i need that keybord to use this synth?

[alienorbiter]

@sonicthehedgehogxp No, it's not really necessary. I bought it separately, just for the sake of completism, although sometimes i have thought to ditch it and rack the Radias.

[darkloef]

u could buy a 1880 euro synthesyzer but u could not buy a 170 euro hd camera =3 good vid though

[alienorbiter]

@darkloef Uhm, i bought one after this :)

[EzyPizy]

Boooooooooring :)

[alienorbiter]

@EzyPizy Make yourself one, you LOL ;)

[standingcorpse]

I want one sooo bad!

[tucker10]

please could you do me (and maybe others) a HUGE favour and record some of the organs and acoustic instruments (if any) from the radias like Piano/flute?

thanks!

[alienorbiter]

@tucker10 Uhm, there aren't acoustic sounds in this one...

[GrrrAlex13]

Does this thing have a built in sequencer?

[drakeishfyre]

@GrrrAlex13 two actually. and an arpeggiator

[alienorbiter]

@GrrrAlex13 Yup, two sixteen step sequencers (or one 32 step).

[mumulove]

Korg is cheese.

[javiceres]

@mumulove Whta's not ie?

[mumulove]

@javiceres There are many good synths out there, just none made by Korg. Korg is the Casio of synths.

[alienorbiter]

@mumulove I loved my Casio CTK-1000.

[rdproductions01]

@mumulove

Casio is cheese... Korg is a great brand of synths.

[alienorbiter]

@mumulove Cheese is good.

[tionik06]

@mumulove why? i've heard some great sounds come out of this synth.

[RobDeGroot1963]

@mumulove I like cheese

[drakeishfyre]

Nice video.

However, with a beautiful synth like that, couldn't you route the sound to the camcorders or computers audio in? It makes it that much more beautiful.

[WWitton]

Niiiice

[rvdextron]

super

[x9ppqctr]

Wonders never seen such technology

[ballademaker]

great performance, this korg radias can be used for severeal functions in movie and teckno business. and to animated films great to that., since you can use voice vocoder. fun tool.

keep up the good work

5!!!!!!!!!¤¤¤¤¤

[altonoir]

sick track!!!!

[weaponEX]

This has four outputs right? Can you route the four timbres through the four channels without going through each patch separately?

[sizzletron]

R3 is good, (I have one) but look at all those knobs! Plus the sequencers are awesomer than the R3.

[mimoocho]

Anyone know if the Radius Expansion Card has the same tweaking abilities as the actual hardware itself?... and does it still have the vocoder?

[armalyte]

not as such, as you have to rely on any free assignable controllers on the m3 itself. It does indeed have the vocoder on the exp board, but again youre using the m3's fx engines for it. Its not a bad trade off, but the radias is TRULLY 4 part multitimbral, and has dedicated outs , etc. To my ears on an a/b test, the radias sounded better and sharper than the exp board, which for some reason doesnt sound as gutsy.

As an aside i dont understand, the R3 AND microkorg xl BOTH exisiting right now

[dafridgemagnet]

out of interest... wats the blue light (on the pitch/mod wheels)

[alienorbiter]

It's just the Samsung camera. It lights an intermitent blue light to signal that it is recording.

[123Batesman123]

I need the keyboard...AND the synth seperately? Or does it have the keyboard with it optionally or something. If not, I have several yamahas. Will they work with this? I see it kinda pointless if you just want the synth and need the right keyboard to go along.

[alienorbiter]

The keyboard is optional. You can connect the midi out of your Yamaha into the midi in of the Radias and you'll have the full package.

You could also connect your keyboard to an USB port in your computer and connect the computer to the USB port in your Radias, bypassing the MIDI standard cable. If you want. It's pretty flexible.

[STMinimal006]

u don't need midi controllers or keyboard at all. If you have sequencing software (ableton, logic etc.) u can record midi thru usb for each timbre on separate chanels and then u can use midi routing and play with 4 different timbres in the same time

[drls1313]

im gettin an r3, anyone know if the r3's sound quality is quite as good as hte radias? or any where near

[alienorbiter]

The sound quality is the same, you just get less parts to work with. One R3 = Half Radias.

[tscherno87]

This should be the ideal synth for Psytrance ^^

[Rbrownsword]

anything with a high pass filter is ideal for psy-trance!

[azeribagan]

fashion baby!

[korgmatose1]

How much are these things?

[jazzdog2]

1200

[korgmatose1]

Holy crap.

[jazzdog2]

yeah I know dirt cheap

[lavakava]

SUPER Faaaat! Access virus bows in shame to the mighty korg

[pendarn84]

nice track!

[tcrangle963]

pardon me for my ignorance lol

wot actually does it do???? does it just make beats???

my friend had sum korg gadget that would like make a back up rhythm...do u no wot i mean?? they dont make it anymore so i was wondering if there was anything more up to date

sorry...im too lazy to go through the korg site to look for it...im crap with these gadgets...its worse than german for me

[tcrangle963]

the thing i saw was rack mounted

help wud much b appreciated

thanks man

[robotmasternemmo]

You can rackmount this. You don't need the keyboard to play.

[DvsPolak]

it makes noises, lots of noises, trying to mimik an actual analogue synth

[robotmasternemmo]

No, it's a 4 part synthesizer. It can also be programmed to play some beats.

If you want something cheap and cool to make beats, try the Electribe EMX-1. They are all over ebay.

[glitchesandglitter]

it's aphex twin with an island vibe to it.

[NickAAylward]

how many steps in the arp 16 or 8 like the microkorg

[eatmyzhorts]

I heard there are 32 steps but don't take my word for it. hehe

[robotmasternemmo]

It has two 16 step sequencers that can be linked to one 32 steps sequencer.

[rdproductions01]

@robotmasternemmo

It is updated with the RADIAS OS 2.0: now it has two 32 sep sequencers that can be linked to one 64 steps sequencer.

[fromthispoint]

very nice lots of movement in the sound knobs fall off like buttons on a rotton sweater or is it made solid?

[ronnysoeberg]

Knobs are nice on this one. Actually never had a korg product with shitty buttons and knobs, so it's probably a reputation from the past. This one is hella solid, same with my KP3.

[joshandtheaddiction]

hey do you know a way to store your favourite timbres to the 16 multi function butons at the bottom of the rack ? thanks

[lavakava]

sounds harsh...the r3 sounds smoother

[ssssaint]

I think it's the exact same synthesis engine... you silly

[DreadFly]

Very cool instrument. I stopped looking at stuff when I got my Motif, means long ago.

I love the fact that buttons an knobs are back on synths. That I get on my Nova, but this synth is very, very cool.

I love your number too.

[Arddhu88]

I think Mikamulperi was referring to that talking sound in your demo like at 1:29. "oy gwen woh" etc etc. So was that you on the vocoder or was that the formant record function?

[alienorbiter]

Mmmmh, actually i haven't made a really nice tb-303 patch. I made some acid lines with it, but it is no tb-303. It's different.

[danwhillace]

i wonder if you could use the radias the same way as a tb 303 and make some acid house bass lines.... thats the only reason i would get it, seems kinda cheezy otherwise. i might get one and pair it up with my m3. if i do i will post videos.

[kwd007]

This is very good man! I have a radias I use mostly for talkboxing and vocoding! This kinda has a kraftwerk flava to it...Good job!

[mikamulperi]

Does Radias have speech generator in it? That you can enter words / sentences and it says it?

[ronnysoeberg]

No, its got a Vocoder. You speak into a mic and then you can play chords so that what you say gets whatever chord you play... yeah i suck at explaining. Do a search for vocoder :D

[mikamulperi]

Yeah I know what vocoder is, I have Micron and microKorg :) but thanks. Just curious if Radias had a speech generator also, that would have been nice.

[NamesROverated]

It's not really a mic, but its more of a tube/straw.

[dpcamp]

no it's a a mic. it looks like a cheesy nsync headset mic. byou you can use any mic you have. it has a condenser or dynamic mic option, which leads me to believe it has phantom power? i haven't looked into that yet.

[rvo91]

That is so awesome.

[Eleton]

esta bien chico, make another, el un trance pattern

[alienorbiter]

O el "harness the power of radias".... that's awful.... :)
