The idea is to find out if the extra harmonics in OSC 2 are really a problem or are part of the "radias signature sound".

What do you think ?

Its a bug that shouldn't affect to many presets if corrected......
the odds that one would have "sine selected in osc 2" without filters and resonance " the quest for real sine" and be upset of a correction I think are very low.....

LOL, the results are 5 for bug and 5 for feature. Curious thing.

As I said .... the future true capabilities of the machine are at the mercy of its past presetsand patches, Lets get korg to add this harmoniked sine to the pcm list and get a true sine where they say there is to be one...lol

The poll doesn't mean anything because it's can be both a bug and add to the RADIAS character.

Anyway, I sent a bug report to the local Korg distributor asking that it be put through official Korg channels.

I really don't know what sort of response I will get (if any) but at least for my part I have done what I can.

what would be the possibility of Korg issuing this as a seperate "stand-alone" update if it is determined by them to be a bug? basically so those who are concerened about it affecting the patches they've created can choose whether or not they want to install the "fix"?

Yup, that sounds like a good idea.

because it seems like an obvious oversight by QA at KORG.
Love my Radias, but if I was getting that deep into pure programming - I would care. I like the idea of optional update. . .

It's an annoying bug. I was trying to use the Radias to explain to a synth newbie exactly how the whole thing worked and having the second VCO's sine wave broken didn't help one little bit. If I want it to sound different, I'll do that myself thankyou.

I checked into this with the developers and this is not a bug, or to be more correct, it is not unintentional. It has to do with the amount of DSP power allocated to the second oscillator, so it cannot be easily changed. That would require reallocating the DSP resources of the whole synth engine to free up some instructions to add to the 2nd osc. So it will not be changed.

Don't shoot the messenger - I'm just reporting what I learned to help answer your inquiries.

Regards,

Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for your response....I am understanding from what you are saying that no corrections to the oscillator / tone generators can be updated due to lack of headroom in DSP resources....

Hi slammah:

Where is the USB master port on the RADIAS to support USB media devices? That is called a USB A port and the RADIAS doesn't have one... the MIDI transmission port is a USB B port.

So... the answer to those USB-related questions would be no.

Adding more modulation destinations etc. is cool, and I have seen others request a variety of programming enhancements like that. I'm not really sure of the answer to that, and as always, I can't give definitive comments about these types of things. But I do make sure the developers see/read these types of threads. We always learn about your wants and needs from them.

Thanks,

Jerry

I hope that with the M3 this is fixed.
