In theory, yes... In real world, no... I'm not that familiar with the MS20 sound, but it's considered to be aggressive and analog - something Radias is not. Seriously, all my attempts of recreating analog sounds on Radias have failed miserably. It does pretty good "digital analog" sounds, something ...

Re: Do you have piano or some good EPs on R3?

or, sound like Juno or Jupiter - I make some sound like Juno 106, but I don't like it. That's because R3 doesn't sound like an analog synth. If you want something more organic and "vintage", buy Nord Lead or even better - a real analog synth. A Juno 60 is cheaper than R3. I've experienced the same ...

Selling Radias.

Hallo Though Radias is a very cool synth, I think it's time for me to say goodbye to it. I'm kinda more into real analog stuff lately, and Radias just lacks at analog warmth. (I think no one can deny that) I was just wandering - how much should I asked for it? It's in a mint condition, never left my ...

Radias is definitely one of leading synths on the market, for me. (and is indeed underrated, IMHO) I've been toying with Virus B for a while, but no matter what I do - I just can't let it sound the way I want. I don't think that I would be happy with Virus Ti. It looks just awesome... for visual ...

I never used old Prophet, so only thing I would expect form it is nice analog sound. Actually, first I wanted something totally vintage sounding - I think Alesis Andromeda beats Prophet 8 on this one... but since then my taste in synths changed, so I'm coming back to P8 :) I'm looking for something ...

People, a perfect synth, that can sound like anything you want, would pretty boring: everyone would have this 1 synth, there would be no need for anything else. I love the fact that Radias sounds nothing like my B - that's the whole point. Sure, Virus beats Radias in "bad-ass analog dirtiness" - but ...

Monitors

Maybe an other off-top for Radias forum: I wanted to post it in more dedicated section, but it seems to be "dead", so no thanks... I know that all monitors sound diffrent :shock: it's a matter of taste, but I was wondering what you use and would recommend for 900 euro for a pair monitor (yes, I want ...

I would definitely make something with grain shifter effect... it seems useless, but you could do very interesting stuff with it, by modulating it's parameters. Random electronica madness 8) Vocoder rhythms would be also cool. Comb filter is also something you don't see on every synthesizer (don't ...

Actually, I just saw his youtube profile, seems like he is a analog fan: he uses Voyager RME, Prophet 08, Moog LP and Nord Lead 3 rack. No virus :roll: sounds like virus, anyway...

Electro?

Hello I've recently discovered a new very cool producer/DJ Deadmau5 (I think he's very famous lately)... I don't know - just like his style. http://www.deadmau5.com/ Very charismatic image, btw - like Daft Punk Robots :) Maybe not excacly good thread for Korg forum, but I was wondering, does anyone ...

Yeah, on Radias there are few "hidden" parameters, but if you hit EDIT button, you can access every menu by pressing a button or by twisting a knob that is related to this parameter, it will bring you automatically to the right menu. So every parameter is maximum 1 hit of a button away. Not on Virus ...

Like I said, I have VA Jp8000, Radias, Virus B and real analog Rogue. But overall, I still prefer Radias sound (it's very personal I guess) - for me, it beats Virus (at least B). (no, actually I prefer the Rogue) Jp8000 has better leads and EPIC super saw than both of them, IMHO. Radias is bright ...

Yes... In America! 8) But in europe, the avarage price of Novation Nova is +- 370 euro. I'm sure, you could get a Virus b for 400 USD in US. But I never compare synths just on the specs... it's the actual sound that counts. I paid the same for jp8000, and specwise, it's 10 times weaker than Virus ...

It's a VA analog, so it's a Substractive. Also, it has cross modulation, so it makes it Additive synth Granular? Never heard of it Wavetable synths: yes, it has PCM wavetable also. Frequency mod synth: yes, see VPM Phase distortion? Physical modeling: no... though you could call it a physical ...
