vst integration, of course, but..i'm quite pessimist on this, maybe on radias II someday.

for now: please, edit page jump when moving a knob, ie, when i move a knob i'd to see the screen jump to the parameter and see the values.

ability to mute or not each timbre with thei dedicated button (timbre select)

ok, it works when you are in edit mode, but if it could work directky from program play mode :wink:

just got mine, and I'm in way over my head, so maybe my contributions aren't relevant.....but here goes....

first, a small utility that will produce a cakewalk instrument file from the Radias, either directly or from an .rdl file or whatever. i don't want to have to maintain the instrument file manually -- just pull it right off the radias itself so it's always accurate. (i'm a programmer who'se done quite a bit of MIDI programming and I could "easily" do this, but I just do not have even the fairly small amount of time required to write such a utility.)

second, I just don't like the timber on/off control: it seems unnatural to hold down edit (or is it exit?) at the same time as the timber button.

also, if a patch is changed, perhaps prevent program changes UNTIL "exit/no" is pressed -- that would prevent lost work....

i'll probly have more later; right now, I'm trying to figure out how to "integrate" the Radias into my cakewalk-based setup....

The only other guys i know who actually read the input from the customers are the dave smith stuff...

So we are eagerly waiting... :P
Great!

Yeah, Dave is good about that and its nice to know that people at Korg also read these forums. It makes me feel more confident and assured in my purchase.

I just got my Radias on March 25th so its a little soon for me to offer any suggestions but I am very happy with it so far!

It helps to fill-in and round out my setup.

This is one thing that I believe seriously hampers the Radias (I'd even say that the lack of these things castrates the Radias' usefulness live), and it could very well be solved with an OS upgrade.

Give us multiple patterns and a song menu to chain them to a sequence of patterns.

Please.
I'm hip to that. Would make the unit a stand alone.

Would be cool if an initiated timbre could 'grab' the current hard settings. Save lost work.

I would also like to be able to switch presets without the direct audio mute...It is common on other synths that presets don't mute when you engage the sequencer , arps, and program change....until key is released from the first preset.....I find this abrupt silence rather annoying.......

a few other things that just occured to me:
IFX knobs in the modulation destinations, or some other way to control the IFX from say, the modulation wheel. I know some presets have source options, but something i would really like to see is aftertouch, velocity(mono summed/averaged), pedal, and mod wheel control of say; reverb time and mix, delay mix and feedback, etc.
you can do some nice things on other synths (particularly with leads) by having mod wheel take down the cutoff and bring up the delay feedback simultaneously.

another thing that would be nice to have is the ability to specify if an envelope (Excluding the amp envelope) is triggered mono or poly.

1.) A real mute function for every timbre
2.) MIDI output for modulation sequences

That's all ;-)

• Band reject (notch) filter. Can't program my favourite trance sounds because of this!
• Ability to configure and use any/all internal parameters for VPatch matrix sources MIDI 1/2/3/4/5, as opposed to them being reserved only for external incoming MIDI CCs. Missed opportunity methinks.

Well, you could emulate a notch filter ! That's why you have two filters in your radias !

Just put one filter on LPF, the other in HPF, parallel mode, adjust the cutoff for every filter, and now use that beautiful modulation matrix to assign the cutoff parameters of both filters to a single controller (like the modulation wheel).

Enjoy.

I would, but I'd still need a second filter with its own filter envelope for crafting the patch further.

Using both filters would leave none spare. I guess the only way to do it was to route the channel back onto a new timbre, taking up two timbres to use a total of 3 (or 4) filters.

However, a notch filter has a much smaller bandwidth ("Q") than the 12dB slopes of the LPF and HPF. 12dB slopes are too gradual. Notch filters tend to be much more surgical. The higher the resonance, the more surgical the notch is. Adding resonance to a LPF and HPF would work in a different sonic way, exciting the frequencies just outside of the notch, not the notch itself.

Well, you can always use a FX for extra filtering.

I love this flexibility... :lol:
