M3-M on RADIAS-KB?

Post by CharlesFerraro »

Has anyone ever tried putting the M3 module on a RADIAS keyboard? Does "KKS" work in this case, were connecting the din cable will allow one to play the M3 with the RADIAS keyboard?

Do the mod and pitch wheels just take the place of the joystick? I'm sure thats the case if it works, but what about the switches and ribbon? Those don't have basic CC numbers.

Interesting. I don't know if it would work. I thought I read somewhere that the Radias's keybed is dedicated only to the Radias-R. I know that the M3 can sense whether it's connected to a 61, 73 or 88-key M3 keybed, but no idea what might happen if you plug in a Radias keybed via KKS.

I played on an M3 module mounted on a Radias Keybed at our local Korg distributor.. The mod wheel and pitch bend work as expected. KKS works as expected.

I attached the M3 to the RADIAS-KB and it does work just like Irmin says. The M3-M does not fit into the RADIAS keyboard as you would expect though. What I had to do was take off the support for the RADIAS module and put the accessory shelf plate in the middle of the keyboard with the M3 sitting on top.

I had wondered about this before.
