Members G-bus Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 I assume the usable poly is dependant on use of effects, modulations, etc. 24 is the max, so that could really mean 8 in practical use for all we know. Here's hoping for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mook Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 From what I can make of it: Program = 4 timbres (i.e. 4 synths or 3 synths & 1 drum kit) + 1 vocoder + 1 master effect + arpeggiator + 2 step sequencers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members G-bus Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Originally posted by suitandtieguy okay now the question is:can RADIAS be removed from the keyboard when you just want it in your rack or vice versa? I think it could be. If it didn't, that would really be a dumb move by Korg, given the design of the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike51 Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Originally posted by spritex 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. Im not sure it's unrealistic. The MS2000 was beaten in terms of specs by much cheaper synths. And with the excellent sound quality of many soft synths, va prices really have come down.

Members MuzikB Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 That thing looks awesome. Hope its got it where it counts. Does anybody know if it comes with a top cover so you can transport it like a suitcase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NuSkoolTone Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Looks like Korg has their ION, hopefully it's competitively priced. If it is, I will give it a SERIOUS look! I wouldn't mind having a "Fun" synth around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steph3dfx Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 It looks like the VA i was waiting for.Now the B$G question : HOW MUCH ?any approximation from people at NAMM ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clusterchord Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 that's really a great desing - like minimoog done by Bang n Olafsen specs are great no doubt about it, i wonder how it sounds. 2 filters is very nice. i pray they went away from their old VA code, as far as possible. altough i was dissapointed many times with any of the big three announcing "new" technologies i'd really like this to be true this time, for their MMT (multiple modelling technology). i know its a PC running softsynth with sexy box, but lets wait n see .. the step sequencing, arpeggiator and mod sequencing fetures are most intriguing to me. also, the ability to remove desktop from the keyboard is awesome.. i like the idea of "24 or less" voices , rather than fixed - it would have been less i'm sure. this way, you get to choose how to spend the resources.

Members pgunders Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 'Twill be mine (if it sounds good, that is). The great thing about the synth industry is that I can start saving now and, with the sixteen or so product release delays that are inevitable, I'll actually have the money when it comes out.

Members kayvon Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Damn cool design there methinks, keine aftertouch which is a bit crap considering its got all that power. You can guarantee this thing will be all over the stage shots of famous pop bands as was the micro korg. Korgs branding dept. are doing the biz. padKontrol looks pretty cool aswell, can't find a pic to post though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spritex Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Okay, it's not cheap as I guessed. From the Korg Forums: "Radias $1999, Radias-R $1899." Also, the first mp3 at: http://it-review.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=273&Itemid=107 (Still downloading it myself.) As a side note: "it seems as though Korg has another EXi almost ready" - for the Oasys that is. In addition of the STR-1 that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MartinHines Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Originally posted by spritex "Radias $1999, Radias-R $1899." I would suggest waiting for Official prices from Korg. Unfortunately I am afraid it will cost more than Mike51's desired $650 price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MartinHines Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Originally posted by pighood NI Reaktor....$395. Of course, that is not a fair comparison given you have only quoted prices for software. Yes, I understand you already have a controller keyboard, a computer, and an audio interface. However, my point is you are not comparing "apples to apples". A more appropriate comparison would be to compare the Korg Radias to other 49-key synths.

Members Counterpoint Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Originally posted by G-bus 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. I'm sure that it's model dependent. Probably 24 voices for VA, but maybe fewer for the more esoteric models.
