Does the Radias have more patch destinations than R3?

Post by Maine »

I've always been a little surprised that I can't set parameters such as Attack Time or FX Wet/Dry amount as destinations for LFOs.

Does the Radias offer an expanded range of patch destinations, or is it the same as the R3?

The R3 Modulation Sequencer can have the Attack Time as a destination, and the mod seq. is like a programmable LFO with any waveshape you can draw. The FX levels can be assigned to the knobs, and knobs have midi CC#s, and they both can be automated externally with a sequencer. Many FX have their own separate LFO and speed settings that are customized within the FX parameters. These LFOs are above and beyond the 3 LFOs in the program, so you essentially can have 13 LFOs going per program (2*3LFO + 2*2IFX + 1MFX + 2MODSEQ). The Formant Motion also filters a wave over time with recorded vocoder formant data, so it can be used as sort of an LFO too.

In more direct reply to your question, The Radias V2.0 OS does offer attack, decay, release time, and sustain - for each envelope. And even each of the 6 virtual patch depth controls are available as a modulation destination for virtual patch slots. FX depth I believe is not available because the effects are not polyphonic, whilst virtual patch is processed per-voice.

Other options added are Filter EG depth, filter 2 resonance, osc1 control 2.
