This video, via HarmonyCentral, catches developer Jörg Schaaf at the The NAMM Show, discussing the new Radikal Technologies Accelerator synthesizer.

We said that  Schaaf “introduced an entirely new form of wankery to the world of keyboard performance”, when he introduced the Radikal Accelerator and its 3D motion sensor. Fortunately, the Accelerator also offers a Radikal synth engine and performance controls….

• LP, HP, BP and Notch with 12/24 dB per filter switchable
• independent oscillator to filter feeds
• serial and parallel filter configurations
• 8 voices (expandable per DSP upgrade)
• categorized randomize sound function
• monochrome graphic display with RGB backlight
• modulationmatrix – 2 FX – arpeggiator
• step sequencer
• split, dual, single and performance mode
• 3D positioning sensor for parameter control
• 61 lightweighted keys with channel aftertouch
