Korg Radias (2006)
A virtual analog synthesizer and vocoder released by Korg in 2006, with a 24-voice MMT engine and multitimbral operation.
Overview
The Korg Radias is a virtual analog synthesizer and vocoder introduced in 2006. Sound comes from Korg's MMT (Multiple Modelling Technology) engine, with 24-voice polyphony. It is four-part multitimbral, so it can play several sounds at once across different MIDI channels. The layout is the same as the Korg MS2000. You can pair it with the optional RD-KB keyboard frame. A review was published in April 2006, shortly after release.
