What is the Radias Board?
The internal Radias analogue modelling synthesizer sound generator board is 4 part multi-timbral; 1 timbre per Program, up to 4 Programs can be used in Combi and Sequencer modes)and has on-screen integration of all its parameters and full integration with the M3's effects, control surface and KARMA functionality.
This powerful MMT-based (Multiple Modeling Technology) synth engine features dual oscillators which combine to offer analog-modeled waves, PCM waves, noise, ring mod and more. Waveform modulation, Variable Phase Modulation (VPM), Unison voice thickening, PWM and cross-mod expand the sonic palette.
Dual Filters can run in series, parallel, or side by side (individual for each oscillator). Filter1 features a resonant filter design covering 24 dB low pass, 12 dB low pass plus 12 dB high and band pass, with continuously variable “morphing” between these states. Filter2 offers 12dB versions of the low, high and band pass modes, plus a unique comb filter.
Two LFOs and three ADSR envelopes shape the sound and add cyclic motion to nearly any voice parameter. Three 16-step Modulation Sequencers provide discrete values to a modulation parameter that change over time, either in stepped or smooth motion, and can loop over and over.
Internal or external audio can be run through the EXB-RADIAS to be gated and filtered using the internal synthesis and effects.“Drive” adds analog warmth, Punch brings increased definition to the attack of a sound, and 12-types of Wave Shaping provides dramatic timbral shaping – even offering virtual “pick-up” response.
The EXB-RADIAS offers the same vocoder as the RADIAS, offering 16 bands with individual control over level and panning. Formant Motion records the formant of a sung or spoken phrase so it can be recreated anytime.
What is the EXB-FW FireWire Board?
The Korg EXB-FW FireWire Expansion Board option provides 2 channels of digital audio Input and 6 channels of digital audio Output, in addition to FireWire MIDI for the Korg M3 Music/Workstation.
The Korg EXB-FW allows you to use the Virtualized Hardware functionality. Virtualized Hardware is a feature that allows audio signals and MIDI messages from your M3 to device to be routed via a dedicated Korg editor running in your DAW software and sent to tracks in your host application, letting you use your M3 as though it were a plug-in software instrument.
Other applications include sampling into the M3 from your computer, processing computer-based audio through the M3's effects, and controlling your other plug-in instruments via the M3's many hardware controllers and unique KARMA function.
