Turning Knobs And Making Noise With The Korg RADIAS

The Gearwire Gossip V-blog takes a turn for the experimental, hitting the "on" button on the Korg RADIAS, twisting knobs and making noise.

It ain't exactly gossip column material, but Gearwire readers demand ACTION, so I decided it was high time to get crazy with the Cheez Whiz and see how nutty it could get.

Results? Some RADIAS out-of-the-box sounds and loops are cheesy, some are Reznor-riffic, and some are highly reminiscent of fab 1970s-era sci-fi soundtrack noises. I can't make up my mind, one second I'm making Euro-trashity disco noises, the next I'm getting Walter Murch on yo' azz with Korg RADIAS ring mods, ear-tormenting high-pitched squeals and bloops. I edited the best of the session into a nice, compact vid. Sure, there's plenty of sonic cheese, but it was fun. Try a fine vintage with it and no we'll have no worries.
