Hi, I am a Japanese new user of an old Radias. I bought the Rasias as the secondhand just after watching this movie. To express my thanks for Mr. Ujiie's performance I would like to make Englith subtitles for you all by my primitive language ability. Sorry about my poor English, but please enjoy below! (above?)

[@kiko1935]

Thank you!

[@ichikaba]

@@kiko1935 おつかれさまでした。。。ありがとうございました！

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

i have a kronos 2 and im getting a radias today after watching more than 20 youtube demo. The radias is excellent specially the knobs are usefull editing and mixing. Kronos and radias is a great combination.

[@chicoandtheman7599]

What an absolutely gorgeous sounding synth! I have a Korg Kronos, Z-1 & EXB-MOSS on my Triton, Alesis Fusion, Kurzweil PC3K & Yamaha EX5 & Motif 6 w/PLG150-AN. (same engines as the AN1x) They all have amazing analog modeling & VA engines, but the Radius sounds incredible.

[@musictrackjp]

English sub-title is available now ;)

[@javiertrevino5535]

Excellent. I love all of your videos

[@111Dark84]

musictrackjp where can i find the subtitles at i love the videos u do wish i had a job like u have

[@Timecop1983]

Love mine to bits!

[@hampat2]

love your music man!

[@Timecop1983]

Pat Ham Thanks man! You can hear my Radias very frequently in my music! :)

[@FTF96]

You’re one heck of a pianist, love your demos! Lost count of how many I watched lol

[@kawakubon]

5:11 Also on this brass sound, the sharpness of filter is very nice! *as he is turning a knob of the filter section. 5:23 *as indicating TYPE knob Filter 1. It is an unique function of Radias that you can change continuously the character of filter such as low-pass, high-pass and so on. 12dB to 24dB, you can change value continuously. YOU CAN CHANGE VALUE CONTINUOUSLY! It's a KILLER! 5:49 *Mr. UJIIE's play

[@kawakubon]

I am still enjoying this synthesizer without getting tired. I use a rack type connecting to KROME by MIDI. Sounds by turning various knobs on the RADIAS control panel in real time are nice decorations on KEOME sounds and make sounds more fantastic. Yes in truth, at first, I felt the color combination was a little strange. But I think now the combination is one of the unique characters of RADIAS. Anyway, beautiful sounds from RADIAS are just the core-design of this instrument, I believe so.

[@yarosystems]

Ultimate machine for creating electronic music.

[@PaulWolf2007]

The radias is all about sequencing/apeggiation, the same idea they started 20 years ago with the wavestation.

[@123gwenners]

You do really have nice demo videos, even if I don't speak your language they are entertaining and informative. Seems that you have some other sounds and drum patterns in your Radias than in mine. Any special downloads or own compositions or just standard banks?

[@elliotdavidson7137]

thanks for the subtitles... love your reviews

[@ВадимТворко]

wonderful !

[@MrDuncl]

Interesting to hear something different from the Radias, although I still love and regularly play Gattobus's Endorphins demo. I was so impressed by that demo that I bought a Radias myself. I don't think there is anything comparable to the Radias on the market today. Synths are just trying to sound like Minimoogs and arranger keyboards like orchestras.

[@chevywilliams958]

I look at that video so damn much its crazy

[@keykiyox]

シンセってやっぱり楽器だなあ。上手い人が弾くとよく聞こえる。M3にRadius board積んだの持ってますが、ハードの単体とはやはり違うね。あと、持ってるだけじゃ駄目ね。弾くのも音作りも曲への取り入れ方も練習しよう笑

[@ish233]

whoa! nice intro, I had an ms2000, I heard this has more voices. It's a total winner in modding some serious sounds. Very Cool

[@swamplifecontrol]

I like the design - Somehow got used to the colors - The only niggle I have is - they represent it as being " Modular" But if you pay for the keyboard and the module - You can't really use the keyboard separately - because there"s no midi out. You have to use the short propriety cable to connect to the module . It would be the perfect keyboard for a laptop setup --- even matches the finish on the macbook pro I don't have ! - Excellent demo - even by MJP standards - ! Love E.piano comping !

[@daeone1514]

It’s made unlike any other board besides the M3 with the KKS/Korg Komponent System. It sounds super sonic tho. I would like to own one

[@ish233]

I really like this style because I really enjoyed the ms2000, I would almost say I'm interested in the radius very much. I should give it a try.

[@djey308]

those wurlitzer licks... a thing of beauty to behold

[@blindlygoing]

Sold one of these for £250 in 2010. Wish I had kept it.

[@PureAmbientDrone]

I love these demo even though I don't understand him :)

[@bilbring]

Had this been the virus, the hype and praise would've been crazy.

[@littlestonliest1186]

To me the Radias takes a bit more time to learn but is worth the effort. The newer M3 is a great synth to combine with it although the quality of sound not even as good as the Karma and the newest Kronos is now an additional thousand from what it was a couple years ago for the same synth.

[@Digiphex]

If released today, they would call this "King Digital" and the case would be the champagne color of a Buick, rather than the nice silver.

[@jjhcw]

nice!

[@kamhinleong397]

"You can jam with just one finger" lol

[@MusisiKamarIndo]

This thing sounded better than kingkorg for me (based on the 2 video that ujie san have here).

[@fabiovsroque]

English subtitles please! Think about the non-japanese fans all around the world! Thank you.

[@Phil-1]

but this is Japan, so the Katsumi effect applies. as Keebun put it: 'ティンバー'. couldn't have put it better myself.

[@fofopopo313]

jv 1080 VS korg radias which one?:)

[@MrPinchegabacho]

I'd still go with a Radias. Even in Master Ujie's capable hands, the KingKorg did nothing for me.It'll take something more than shoving a vacuum tube into a sized-up microKorg to blow my skirt up, especially for what they're charging!

[@varoennauraa]

Although I am interested in the King Korg too, I hope it sells under 10 units world wide, so we might get knobs, another filter and the sequencer back in next synth! King Korg almost feels like a down grade in many ways.

[@ericwycoff1399]

7:41 English Translation "CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!"

[@scooby3030]

is there a vangelis string for this by n e chance?

[@AndiBrewster]

nice review ..

[@rookiecookie47]

Is it possible for Fl studio to sound the same. Or there is smth in hardware that cant be achived by software. Help me professionals. 🤔

[@MrLawrence0071]

Sylenth sounds powerfull. With good DA converters you should be able to match this but you'll have to work your patches and presets.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

TBH, the very best software today sounds fantastic. Uhe Diva can sound extremely close to 30 year old synthesizers that cost thousands of dollars. Its the best sounding virtual analog, SW or HW. When it comes to digital or VA synths.....there is little difference, HW vs SW. The Radias is digital. IMO, there is still some magic to be had hitting FX pre-convertors. Running a simple VA hardware synth like this or a Nord Lead into a some analog distortion, analog phaser or chorus, can sound fantastic. Also, working with hardware, knobs and sliders, is also just enjoyable. Having real tome control without having to click and drag is fun. Don’t go HW for sound alone....you’ll likely be disappointed by anything other than a VCO analog mono synth, which IMO....software still can not touch. Its just the total experience. The interaction, the hardware FX chains, its all just making music though in the end. There is only one way to find out if its for you. Luckily, there are fantastic sounding synthesizers for very low prices these days. The Behringer Model D and Toraiz AS-1 sound as good as anything ever made, and can be had for well below $500. If its gotta be poly, Deepmind 6/12 and Korg Minilogue are both extremely nice instruments. Try one out.

[@SPAZZOID100]

Great musician here. The synth's filters sound too harsh to me though.

[@RoyalBlue43]

I thought it was 46 on thursdays? Maybe I'm mistaken.

[@jacobbrown1690]

i have the complete unit with the keyboard. loved it until i bought a king korg. The king korg is the next generation with better oscillaters and great modeled filters of moog, prophet , oberheim, roland, and others....no stepping , anti aliasing or zipper sound.

[@gautrstafr]

Listening to this and the King Korg demo I got to admit the KingKorg sounds better, but it is a shame that it lost some of the features, like the sequencers.

[@hsn10]

I do not cry for sequencer, you can use computer if you are home. I cry about drum machine essential for live playing. More keys, 3 timbres and ability to do 3 way split would rock.

[@mimoochodom2684]

bonsai!

[@superguitarras111]

its MS 2000 plus

[@sotirisnikolaidis4835]

The radias works alone or must connect with keyboard?

[@christolbert4841]

Still trying to decide between this or a Waldorf Blofeld rack... And videos like these aren't making the decision any easier!

[@rhythmdroid]

I've owned both. This one is more meaty and real sounding - and frankly, having more controls make programming fun. Blofeld programming is kind of tedious. The only thing the Blofeld can really excel at is those "morphing" waveshapes...but they didn't wow me as much as I thought they would. the sound was just soooo VST-ish

[@christolbert4841]

Does the Radius have a similar sound to the Triton? I owned one for a little but sold it as I never liked the synth sounds, too plastic sounding. I was hoping the Blofeld would give me a more luxurious sound but on the cheap...

[@rhythmdroid]

Chris Tolbert Well, to be honest, what I consider meaty, you may consider plastic. I think the Radias just has more of a "hardware" sound cause of the very present midrange. If you compare the two side-by-side, Blofeld will sound more luxurious than Radias. Check out my Soundcloud page "Rhythm Droid". 90% of the synth sounds there are Radias.

[@christolbert4841]

I'll check out your sounds when I get off work tomorrow. Really interested in what that thing can do!

[@rhythmdroid]

I don't push it to it's limits by any means. It is a powerful synth.

[@scooby3030]

id like to agree but I have a x5d that sounds stunning compared to my radias sometimes I use my radias but my x5d is constant use not my cuppa tea at all gimi a virus any day

[@CrazyNori]

where is my subalashi???

[@pjazz2011]

Radias for sale / www.ebay.pl/itm/Synthesizer-Vocoder-Korg-Radias/283101909308

[@aimoriizumi]

氏家さん、なぎら健壱さんかと思いましたよ！

[@merttopel]

Far too much FX snd animation for an otherwise good sounding synthesizer.. Thanks for the demonstration!

[@scooby3030]

i have one of these and its a poormans virus it looks nice but sounds ....well.....

[@PolyDuff]

yoll d probably your synth is just upset and refuses to sound any better because you keep calling it "radius"

[@scooby3030]

hi guys i know what your both saying as the first synths i ever owned werd 2 roland d50s and ppl that herd my tunes were amazed at the sounds i got out of them so it is realy down to the programmer and not the machine in most cases but ease of use is a main issue also being able to edit the sounds and make them sound difrent is a major bonus but with the radas i find that the sounds remind me of virus ti sort of sound mixed with genral midi sounds as thay just dont sound as nice example things i like in the radias are base sounds and some strings but when editing the string sounds when i change the sounds i find i can only mix different parts to gether and not change the wave forms of the sounds to make them sound different or better another for instance is i have just aquired a motif 7 to replace my korg triton my korg triton has trance attack and dance extreame installed it it when editing i can change the waveform of the sounds but thay dont sound any better than how the preset sounds for some reason and when i look in the motif its so limited to editing and also having read about the synth the new motifs were fitted with not so good sound chips as the older ones so im sure this must be happening in a lot of synths as the ti suffres the same issue

[@SPAZZOID100]

Not impressed with the sound or design of this synth.

[@walkabout16]

It's that thick Brooklin accent again..very hard to understand

[@alexovercast3359]

walkabout16 OMG dying 🤣

[@angelovdweerden6585]

LOL :-D

[@tangcw00]

wonderful !

[@kawakubon]

10:24 Even a preset is splendid! *Mr. UJIIE's EXCELLENT play 11:29 How about KORG RADIAS! It has incredibly nice presets! This is my real sweetheart, I will still use it right along. This is KORG RADIAS, thank you! *Mr. UJIIE's EXCELLENT play -end-

[@kawakubon]

3:37 As you see, various lights' movings show us various modulations occurred inside Radias. 3:43 *Mr. UJIIE's play 4:00 Hum, these are nice sounds.....(mumbles to himself) *Mr. UJIIE's play 4:14 I think this filter (of those days) is so unique that makes clear sounds. *Mr. UJIIE's play 4:41 (he mumbles to himself: Very good sounds, you know) *Mr. UJIIE's play 5:06 Excellent! (Subarashii desu!)

[@DanielDavissynthman]

Finally picked up a Radias, and I am totally in love with it. Going to be using it along with the Analog Keys for a series of live looping shows starting in September.. Can't wait.

[@rhythmdroid]

great combo

[@chatolars]

Daniel Davis ...news on this?

[@bobcatt2294]

I recently sold my MS-2000. It did not have a build in reverb :( however the Radias is the upscaled MS-2000 :) I already have the M-3.

[@kawakubon]

5:53 By such the Sweep sounds, we can understand the excellent filter function. *Mr. UJIIE's play 7:04 The strings sound is also outstandingly good, you know! *Mr. UJIIE's play 7:26 Such the Crystal Bell sound is also nice. ... and I was surprised this .... 7:40 This is just "Wurlitzer." *Mr. UJIIE's play 8:18 Incredibly cool! (hums) 8:44 You can do that only by a single finger. 9:05 I hit a key "A" only. That's great, you know! *Mr. UJIIE's play

[@snoolee7950]

sounds like the real Korg

[@123gwenners]

I will never sell my Korg Radias monster synth :-) HOT TIP Try to run the Korg Radias with MIDI OUT from a Korg M3 and MIDI IN on the Radias and you get a shock of patterns from the drums, sounds and effects when you choose the Combi mode and KARMA on the M3. A real knockout combination :-)

[@krakapoww]

Great tip, Will try it out

[@dikochi690311]

いつも拝見＆拝聴しております。ＲＡＤＩＡＳはサウンド的にはＫＩＮG KORGと甲乙つけがたい印象なのですが、同コンセプト商品のモデルチェンジが速すぎるのかなあという気もします。このＲＡＤＩＡＳも名機なのにもう過去のものになるとは…。

[@DanieleIppolito]

Fantastic Machines, i am working with that!

[@ShiningJMaster]

I was just looking around to fiind a VA synth to pair the JP-8080. Was uncertain between MS2000 ant Radias but your video wiped any doubt away. Thank you for all the nice and amusing videos you did. I always like your style of presentation. I also liked a lot the ones about Oberheim Matrix 12 and OB 8Andre from Italy

[@keebun]

R3ってどこまで互換性あるんだろう。4つティンバー使った音とかPCM波形使った音以外はほぼ同じことできるんですかね？？

[@TH3_FURY]

yes, it sound very dynamic and powerfull, this synth is a monster !

[@emilshere]

can the radias output MIDI via USB?

[@ServerPromo]

man record something! with a synthesizer music

[@Phil-1]

37 usually, but only on Tuesdays.

[@bayradionews415]

Amazing

[@davidng2123]

good

[@maitake1018]

すばらしい！！

[@CYBORGH2O]

WOWWWWWW . MOLTO BELLO !!!!!!

[@alexovercast3359]

The poor man's Access virus

[@kawakubon]

0:00 *Mr. UJIIE's play 1:30 Hi, this is KORG RADIAS, good sounds! This is an excellent virtual analog synthesizer of the early days. Good sounds, you know, this has nice sounds. For example, 1:48 *Mr. UJIIE's play 2:11 In this way, vocoder-like sounds with various formant. 2:18 *Mr. UJIIE's play 2:48 This rhythm section is made by the arpeggiator. 2:54 *Mr. UJIIE's play 3:11 Very good sounds, you know.
