Korg Radias MMT User Manual

Function added in system version 2.0

1E

RADIAS synthesizer/vocoder

RADIAS operating system version 2.0 adds the following functions. Please read this document in conjunction with the
“RADIAS owner’s manual” included with your RADIAS or RADIAS-R.

Virtual Patch

RADIAS version 2.0 adds the following parameters as
virtual patch modulation destinations. This allows you
even greater sound-making diversity.

☞p.92 P11 PATCH page “Dest (Destination)”

Portamnto

Modulation will be applied to the “Portamnto”
(portamento time) parameter of the P05–1: PITCH page.

OSC1Ctrl2

Modulation will be applied to the “Control2” parameter
of the P06–1: OSC/MIXER - OSC1 tab page.

Filt1EG1, Filt1KTrk

Modulation will be applied to the “EG1 Int” or
“KeyTrack” parameter of the P07–1: FILTER - FILTER1
tab page.

Filt2Reso, Filt2EG1, Filt2KTrk

Modulation will be applied to the “Resonance,” “EG1
Int,” or “KeyTrack” parameter of the P07–2: FILTER ­FILTER2 tab page.

EG1Attack, EG1Decay, EG1Sustain, EG1Releas

Modulation will be applied to the “Attack,” “Decay,”
“Sustain,” or “Release” parameter of the P09–1: EG ­EG1 tab page.

Connecting the RADIAS-R to an M3 keyboard assembly

RADIAS version 2.0 allows you to connect the RADIAS
tone module (RADIAS-R) to the 61/73/88-key
keyboard assembly used by the M3 music workstation/
sampler, and play the RADIAS-R from that keyboard.

When using the 61-key keyboard assembly,
keyboard aftertouch and the ribbon controller will
not be available.

If you’re connecting the RADIAS-R to the 73/88­key keyboard assembly, connect the M3-M to the
TO MODULE connector, and the RADIAS-R to the
TO MODULE (2nd) connector (see illustration
below). If you connect the RADIAS-R to the TO
MODULE connector, the keyboard’s aftertouch
and ribbon controller will not be available, and the
M3-M connected to the TO MODULE (2nd)
connector may malfunction because of aftertouch.
If you’re connecting the RADIAS-R by itself to the
73/88-key keyboard assembly, connect it to the TO
MODULE connector (don’t use the TO MODULE
(2nd) connector). In this case too, the keyboard’s
aftertouch and ribbon controller cannot be used.

EG2Attack, EG2Decay, EG2Sustain, EG2Releas

Modulation will be applied to the “Attack,” “Decay,”
“Sustain,” or “Release” parameter of the P09–2: EG ­EG2 tab page.

EG3Attack, EG3Decay, EG3Sustain, EG3Releas

Modulation will be applied to the “Attack,” “Decay,”
“Sustain,” or “Release” parameter of the P09–3: EG ­EG3 tab page.

Patch1Int, Patch2Int, Patch3Int, Patch4Int,
Patch5Int, Patch6Int

Modulation will be applied to the “Intensity” parameter
of the P11: PATCH-P1 – PATCH-P6 tab pages.

Joystick

X axis

This will operate in the same way as the PitchBend
wheel of the RADIAS-KB. Moving the joystick in the X
direction (left/right) will apply a pitch bend effect
according to the “BendRange” setting of the Program
Edit mode P05: PITCH page, and pitch bend change
messages will be transmitted on the MIDI channel of the
timbre selected by TIMBRE SELECT. When pitch bend
change messages are received, the result will be the
same as when you operate the joystick.

If you want to apply a pitch bend effect, set the
Program Edit mode P03–4: TIMBRE-MIDI tab page
“PBnd” parameter to “O” (Enable). Make this
setting for each timbre.

If you want pitch bend change messages to be
received and transmitted, set the Global mode P06:
MIDI FILTER page “PitchBend” parameter to “O”
(Enable).
