1. Wow, thank you for posting my video/track/patch.

   I’m honored 🙂

2. amazing what the radius will do with the right tweak

3. Nice! What’s the keyboard/controller there?

   1. Hey, the controller used here is the Radikal Technologies Accelerator: http://www.radikaltechnologies.com/accelerator_polyphonic_synthesizer_keyboard.html

      This is what happens when I expect my video to be thrown into obscurity… I don’t put all of the relevant information in the description (I have, of course, now updated it), lol.

      Thanks for checking out my video 🙂

4. Elegant controller indeed. Please share make.

   1. My apologies for not originally including it in the description. It’s now been updated. The controller (which is not just a controller, it’s a great synth, but not the focus of this video) is the Radikal Technologies Accelerator, shown here: http://www.radikaltechnologies.com/accelerator_polyphonic_synthesizer_keyboard.html

5. it’s a good idea to post examples of well done patches, instead of the eternal race for the new synthesizers. Sometimes it is better to sit down at your old inexpensive synth and make some cool sounds

   1. very true 😀
      I come here every day wondering what might be announced, but realistically, a good exploration of something is just as good inspiration / music-making-fuel

6. That’s a Radikal Technologies Accelerator being used as a controller.

7. completely laughable video. catastrophic camera angle. where the fuck is the radias???

   1. Why would you need to see a module that’s being controlled via MIDI? New to MIDI or something?

   2. Thanks!

      1. Educational on multiple levels. Not just a tech demo, but also an example of how a professional interacts with the public.

   3. too much coffee this morning?

8. I own the Korg R3 and I believe it uses the radius sound ‘engine’. I am blown away by the R3’s sonic capabilities and when compared to my new analog gear ( volcas) or vst plugins it never stops amazing me how organic it sounds. One of my best purchases ever. Too bad it’s discontinued.

9. Epic jam! Could we hope for a return of the synth score…

10. Love Midera’s youtube channe! He made an entire album with an MC303! I’m definitely a fan!

11. Sounds good. Very Holst-esque.

    Can you get this kind of sound on the MS2000?

    1. I think you could perhaps get a similar sound with the MS2000. I used some DWGS waves with this, and also used the oscillator 2 for many of the timbres. I don’t own an MS2000, but looking at it’s layout, I’d say it’s ‘possible’ but the limitations of 1) number of timbres per patch is lower (4 down to 2) and 2) there are fewer insert FX and no master FX (possibly? I used reverbs heavily in this track), might make it difficult. In fact, I don’t think the MS2000 has any reverb. Of course, using an external reverb might make it easier. I think at any time, I was only using 4 voices, but if you used 2 timbres, you’d actually only be able to play 2 notes at a time… However, I guarantee you that if I had the MS2000, I’d be trying to make the lushest pads possible. Moreover, I wasn’t at all trying to make the case that the MS2000 is a ‘lesser’ synth than the Radias, as I have long wanted one myself, and sort of assume that all things being equal, the MS2000 has the better sound. Radias takes a lot of tweaking to sound good. It gets there, but there’s a lot of elbow grease involved!

       1. I agree that coaxing great sounds out of the Radias involves a lot of elbow grease. I find that sculpting sounds goes a lot better when using the synth’s front panel together with the software editor.

12. Great Patch, I will have to try and replicate as just sounds brilliant.

    I have the Radias and A Virus T12. I prefer the Radias for warmth and has a nice set of sequencers.
