Here’s a stab at definition file for Korg RADIAS.
The RADIAS is a 4 timbre (per Program) synth. So, the definition file has four sections, one timbre per channel (RADIAST1, RADIAST2, RADIAST3, RADIAST4) where “T” is Timbre, and space in between each timbre section. I correlated the Timbre with the MIDI channel (Timbre 1 = MIDI Channel 1) and on MIDI Out B because that’s my setup, with the exception of Timbre 4, which on the RADIAS is usually designated as drum timbre. I set it to MIDI Channel 10. Obviously you can change all of this. But I mapped MIDI CCs for all timbres as per the RADIAS manual p. 151, which is where the work was and hopefully saves someone else the trouble.
Please note The CCs might not control all parameters of a drum timbre the same way. Also, because you can change a synth timbre to vocoder, it has seems to have alternative CC functions (manual indicates), but I don’t use the vocoder. So if you do, you’ll have to map the CCs differently, perhaps.
Also note that in the manual, Korg doesn’t list the CCs in ordinal sequence, but grouped according to “Section” (function, i.e., “Page” on the synth). I listed them in order exactly as the manual, which is not numeric order, but found the Pyramid (logically) sequences them in numerical order anyway.
For the drum timbre (i.e., RADIAST4, MIDI Channel 10), I also included MIDI Note data for N36-N51 (i.e., C2-D#3) and created 4-character names that attempted to align with the keyboard note “map” on p.60 of the manual. That roughly also maps to the sounds of the in-built drumkits Dr01-Dr24, but not always of course. Suit to taste.
Hopefully this is useful to fellow RADIAS users, at least as a start. I love the RADIAS, even though I own the “rich man’s” upgrade Virus TI2. I ran into Richard Devine recently when he performed here in my town of Asheville NC (Make Noise celebration) and we waxed nostalgic about the RADIAS (for which he designed many of the presets). The Pyramid has brought this old “Virtual Analogue” (which tries really hard not to sound analogue) alive. I’m in love again. Cheers! - Scott Rader
