SYNTH DRUM SOUNDS

Post by antonblack »

Hello everyone.
Im currently looking at the Radias and hope some experienced users can answer a question.
Can it produce synth drum sounds that can evolve and change over time?
does it give lots of control over the actual drum waveforms?

Thanks.

just to add to this question, can the drums be treated like any other synth sound in the Radias?

Hi anton,

as i understand the manual you have a complete synthesizer for every drum key. Can be pcm data (sample) or even osc output or noise.

Ciao, Dirk.

P.S.: If you program some cool analog drum sets please post them here !!!

Yes. But you can apply filter directly on the drums unless you use one of the effects for that.

In a nutshell - Yes.

Yes. You can apply a filter to the drum sounds in a drum patch. And you can use drum sounds in a "normal" patch.

I bought it today and love its sounds.
I also have a Virus Ti and find the two sound very different although i have got the Radias for drums but i get the feeling i will use it for more lol.
