My wishs are about graphics.
What about a graphic representation of envelopes, lfos, and maybe filter in the display when turn the knobs?.
WISHLIST
Moderators: Sharp, X-Trade, Pepperpotty, karmathanever
So, until now, the Korg Radias wishlist for the next O.S. upgrades includes:
1) The ability to preview the place where a patch is going to be written, using the compare button.
2) The ability to control several tones within a patch at once with the front panel knobs. Example: applying filter changes to the whole 4 layers.
3) Latching the EDIT button for editing a name.
4) Some way to speed up the scrolling of patterns with the data wheel.
5) More modulation destinations (modulate the envelopes, the fx levels, eg depth, filter2 resonance, unison detune, unison spread). Everybody agrees with this one.
6) The ability to recall the last patch one was working with when you turn the unit on.
7) An UNDO function. If possible.
Using the screen for a graphic representation of the envelopes / knobs / instead of numbers ? Not sure if it can be done, actually.

Using the screen for a graphic representation of the envelopes / knobs / instead of numbers ? Not sure if it can be done, actually.i know this is a different idea vs modulation and synthesis options but i would really love to see plug-in versions of really any hardware i buy but especially synths and signal processors, even more so if they already have a usb port. i know there are ways to integrate stuff via midi but i am not a midi or synth guru like some (daz sprigns to mind). most songs i write come from melodies and ideas that i play on physical instruments connected to amplifiers. (RADIAS, microKorg, SH-201 MC-505+KP3, Fender Guitars and Basses etc.) i love to be able to sit down and play to express how i feel and develop those ideas before attempting to record them. i would really then like to be able to transfer those sounds and expressions into my computer (G5-preintel) with the added benefit of quanatized timing and DAW arrangement options. Not to get into the plug-in vs hardware debate, as they both have advantages. I think it would be prudent buisness practices for hardware makers to go for a "best of both world option" and make there hardware easier to control and integrate into software. i know there are synth makers doing this Acess Virus (TI line), Roland (the SH-201) and yes Korg (the microX and X-50) i would love to see more of that. for example an AU, VST plug-in version of the new Kaoss Pad would not only be phenomenal, i belive it would really add to the value of the product as well as contribute new expressions to the musical lexicon we all try to express ourselves with. what coul be better than that? audio usb ports for all! thanx-g

Uhm, not trying to be a downer here, but making a VST version means dedicating a whole group of people to it. It's expensive... Not a bad idea at all, but i wouldn't count on it, since it is not a Operating System Upgrade, it's new software.
Most of the other suggested modifications can be done with little effort, changing some lines of code. So they aren't a huge effort, but they have to be done by someone with access to the Radias software.

i don't really know but would it be hard to adapt the exsisting RADIAS software editor into a plug-in? thats what the Roland SH-201 plug in seems to be they even call it an "editor". does the usb port have to be a certain kind to transmit audio? the Roland SH 201 plug in doesn't make any sound without the synth being attached via usb, so it is reall acting as a driver and soft-interface. it seems that korg have already done all the hard work in regards to making this a reality. maybe it is unrealistic this is a wish list and i am a bit of a dreamer. thanx. g

I would like if the memory bank addresses can be extended to usb Memory sticks like memory cartridges did in the past.....example A01-P16 internal and A01-P16 memory stick.....perhaps extra pcm data could be accessed this way as well.................
I would like if lfo speed could be a destination for modulation, and would like to fix the muting that occurrs on held notes when you switch the Sequencer on or off or change programs....that irratates me....
and yes, a compare switch so you can rehearse which program you are writing over....

Time Can be Mastered,
"NOW" is the Password....
Currently running, Hammond M3, Yamaha CS80 + MM6, Roland JX-3P + Mkb 1000 + Vk7 + D110, Alesis Quadrasynth plus, Haken Continuum fingerboard, Korg Radias + Lambda, Ensoniq SQ80, Waldorf Blofeld, Creamware Prodyssey + B4000, Use Audio Plugiator, Arp Axxe ....and some soft synths.

yeah nemmo you probably right about the audio routing if it is not factory routed to the usb it might not be possible. so it might never happen for RADAS or existing ones anyway. but i would really love to see that in the future a lot of hardware comes out with usb ports i'd just like to see them used to integrate sound into DAWs and computer production not just "editors". i don't really think there is much else to say other than that. -g

Re: More Modulation Destinations
A lot of this and other wishes could be achieved if the v. patch levels themselves could be patch destinations. This would effectively make them into general purpose VCAs (as on the MS20).aitch wrote:Some great upgrade suggestions from nemmo and chinard - I totally agree with all your suggestions, particularly concerning mod destinations.
I would also like to add (as I have several times on this forum) my suggestion to include destinations for LFO Master Depth (both 1 & 2). Doesn't sound very useful at first, but imagine, for example, being able to set individual LFO1 depths for Pitch, Amp & Filt1 Cutoff (already possible via V.Patches) and then assigning the Modwheel or Aftertouch to LFO1 Master Depth (not currently possible). This would allow real time performance control of 3 LFO Mod paths at once. Is anyone with me on this? Hope we can collectively push Korg into making our suggestions a reality. Thanks everyone!
+1 for the VST, and not just for the Radias but for the R3 as well.
I see no good reason from a customer standpoint why the MicroX & X50 have a VST but the Radias and R3 don't. The X50 plug-in editor seems nearly identical to the standalone version.
A patch converter between the MK/MS2K, R3, & Radias would be very nice, even if there are obvious limitations due to the different synth core features.

Oh I have a few wishes:
x) Support for several arp/sequencer patterns
x) On-the-fly recording and overdub rec of said patterns
x) A new "song" menu that allows you to chain the sequencer patterns into a song.
This is one thing that I believe seriously hampers the Radias (I'd even say that the lack of these things castrates the Radias' usefulness live), and it could very well be solved with an OS upgrade.
I have to warn you: I'm spoiled by the Monomachine, which I'm extremely fond of, which is why I miss being able to use the sequencer like that. The Radias certainly has all the buttons available, it just needs software love.
If anyone at Korg reads this: Try out the Monomachine in a store or get one for yourself. Once you see how they do pattern sequencing, you'll be a believer. You just use the 1-16 buttons as usual to toggle a step on or off, but when you press and hold a step and then enter a chord on your keyboard, it records it right on that step. What's more, you can record knob twists the same way, by holding the desired step button and just twisting the knob. You can even choose between a sliding or an immediate value jump.
But the thing I miss most is a song menu. Give us multiple patterns and a song menu to chain them to a sequence of patterns.
Please.

one thing i would really like to see is the ability to step through the step sequencer/mod sequencer using a footswitch!
for example, im playing with a band, i want to play a harmonisation with the guitarist or some other lead whilst still having the chords playing underneath. the drummer isn't brilliant so i want to step through each chord change at the appropriate bar.
the footswitch is perfect for this.
also, i would like to be able to modulate the punch level with the virtual patch. this greatly makes physical modeling easier as the punch level seems to come out before the filters, and would be great for velocity-control when doing physical modeling with the radias.
edit:
the song-sequencing mentioned previously could also be possible by allowing us to browse through sequences from different patches in a similar way to when setting up timbres

Controller Mode and Single Timbre Up/Download
1.)
I'd really like to have a synth-mode that decouples (most of) the knobs/switches from the synth engine so they become general purpose midi controllers.
It should be possible to enable/disable the "controller-mode"
via MIDI SysEx and on the Radias itself.
2.)
I am missing SysEx messages to up-/download single program and drum timbres-- currently it is only possible to transfer the entire program resp. drumkit!

I just have one wish - that the previously used patch appears when turning the device on; not AO1 by default.
I tend to forget the numbers of individual patches and so keep the Radias on as long as necessary to finish a particular song. The Virus C and moog LP are far more user-riendly in this regard. When you power them up in the morning they'll be in exactly the same 'place' as the day before.
