Korg RADIAS-R MMT Analog Modeling Synthesizer/Vocoder Rack Module

Original synthesis in tandem with remarkable fidelity. At the centre of the Korg RADIAS you will find a cutting-edge MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) synth engine, which borrows much of its modeling techniques from Korg's flagship ,OASYS. It works by eliminating Aliasing Noise in even the highest frequencies and delivering clean, pure waveforms.

The Korg Radias provides two oscillators for each timbre. Between them, they deliver not only modeled analog waveforms, but also formant waveforms, noise, ring modulation, sync, plus both classic and up-to-date PCM Waveforms.

When using the analog modeled waveforms, a variety of oscillator modulation algorithms including pulce width modulation, a massive Unison mode, Korg's proprietary VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) or cross modulation - can be used to create complex sounds, even from a single oscillator.
