Members LesMizzell Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yeah. It looks more like a silver MS2000R w/ a blue display. Pure speculation on my part, but if you look carefully at the frame - it seems to be a three piece "system" - the Keyboard, the Module and the "Frame" holding it all. The frame seems to have space for TWO modules, if you slide the single module shown over to the left or right. So, you want increased polyphony (over whatever it's already got), but you buy a second module and add that to the frame. Hmmm....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike51 Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 the Radius looks really cool in those pics. Can't wait to see the specs. this might be the first Korg that has piqued my interest in 6 years (last being the original Triton). however, if it's anywhere near the price of the new Evolver keyboard.....

Members Mook Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 That hinged section looks like an old deck chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cl516 Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 i think i see 2 OSCs from the pics. i read there was 2 filters also. how many voices? i bet not a lot, and they'll want us to buy another rack to add-on. i'm so curious.

Members LesMizzell Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 That hinged section looks like an old deck chair. Yes, that really looks like a weak point in the construction quality to me. If you play a lot of gigs and move it around a lot, how soon before those support strutts get bent out of shape? Still, it's an interesting looking little box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spritex Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 I quite like how you can move the panel about. Haven't seen that kind of solution before. Oh, and the display looks much bigger than on the MS2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members asynchro_nous Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 Are those endless rotaries? They look sort of like Nord 3 / G2 style knobs............ But without the little LED light ring around each knob........ ? Sharp looking piece, though. Definitely more aesthetically interesting than the SH-201, but the SH wins points for its copious slidage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members radiospace Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 I don't like the pink-lit buttons...looks cheap. I do like the industrial design. Seeing the KAOSS pad sitting on the extender in those pics makes me think they should make a custom holder that fits there for the KAOSS (so it wouldn't fall off or slide around, and you could tilt it up just like the synth faceplate).

Members Mutineer Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 It will certainly be interesting to hear what this new Korg Hideous sounds like. Sorry, did I say 'Hideous'? ... I meant 'Radias'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MartinHines Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 Here is a working link to the Korg Radias keyboard (there is a rack/desktop version also): http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?a_prod_no=RDKB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John B NYC Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 Looks totaly fun!! Soo much fun stuff this year, who cares if it doesnt have 1000 note polyphony or cross mod with your sisters husbands unkles sons dogs vet's gay boyfriend. Its got knobs and a spiffy sequencer if it sounds decent and is under 700 it will be mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members triton76 Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 it appears to have the 16 buttons/knobs across the bottom like the MS2k mod sequencer thingie. It does look a little fragile to me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike51 Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 Looks pretty cool. I'd pay maybe 650$ for it. Anymore and that's real analog money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spritex Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 Unrealistic expectations again, I suspect. I am sure it will be more than $1000. The MS2000B is still $750 ($1100 retail) and this seems to be _much_ more powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members G-bus Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 Looks cool. Korg's site states the max poly is 24 voices. I wonder how much it gets in practice? Looks like a promising little board/module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mook Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Looks like some cool features on there - a cross between an MS2000 & EMX. I like the idea of the vocoder memories, comb filter, formant oscillators, but can't see any information regarding memories for the step sequencer (which might limits its use for drum machine type duties. Two step sequencers can record and play back performance data, each with up to 32 steps. By applying a step sequencer to a drum kit, you can use RADIAS as a programmable drum machine. Each step supports up to eight notes of polyphony, allowing the creation of dense sequenced passages and patterns that can be played back with just one finger. With sequence editing, you can adjust settings such as swing and gate time. The two step sequencers can be set to transpose live from the keyboard, and can also be linked to create a single step sequencer of up to 64 steps.Two step sequencers can record and play back performance data, each with up to 32 steps.

Members suitandtieguy Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 okay now the question is: can RADIAS be removed from the keyboard when you just want it in your rack or vice versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
