The M Audio Radiums are a new breed of controller
with 8 MIDI-assignable knobs and 8 MIDI-assignable sliders augmenting
their 49 or 61 note keyboards. Designed to meet the needs of today’s
electronic musicians, the Radiums offer users real-time control of any
16 MIDI parameters within their favorite software programs. Five user-definable
preset banks extend this control to 80 MIDI parameters of the user’s
choice at the touch of a button.
The Radiums also have built-in USB MIDI interfaces that communicate 16-channels
of MIDI data directly with the computer without the need for a separate
MIDI interface. Two separate MIDI Outs send data to external gear - one
from the keyboard and one from the computer. Additional controls include
pitch wheel, modulation wheel and octave up/down keys that extend the
range of keyboard. The unit can be powered via the USB port or via a 9V
DC power supply for standalone operation. The Radium’s 16 real-time
controllers allow the unit to serve in a variety of capacities, with or
without a computer. Performers benefit from greater freedom of expression.
Synthesists can easily access parameters buried deep within their hardware
without having to navigate arcane nested menus. Songwriters and producers
can enter drum patterns from the keyboard and use the controllers to adjust
the dynamics, feel and effects. Radium also brings tactile control to
today’s virtual studios, with its sliders mapped to virtual faders
and the knobs controlling pan, effects sends and more.
The Radiums are also the perfect complement for the mobile creative lifestyle
of today’s musicians. The Radiums also employ the same simple, elegant
user interface popularized by the rest of the Midiman Keystation line.
The keys have a second layer of functions, allowing users to program MIDI
control information directly from the black and whites. It’s as simple
as pressing the MIDI/Select button, pressing the note on the keyboard
bearing the label corresponding to the target parameter, then using the
Data Entry slider to select the value (or entering numeric values by pressing
the keys labeled with numbers).
