Korg Radias: Crazy-looking new analog-ish synth

This is the Korg Radias, a new analog-style synth from Korg. While Roland are stuck in retro hell, Korg seem to have got some crazy new product designers in. The Radias is supposedly the first spin off from the Oasys technology. It looks to me like a replacement for the long-in-the-tooth MS2000. Do you think it's a rackmount that somehow screws into that keyboard? There's also a RadiasR version which is just the rack. (via IT Review)

Oooh that looks fun.
 
Price point???
 
looks REALLY cool...of course it probably sounds like the MS2000 and microkorg...even though its oaysis.
 
In the NAMM pics the module is aligned to the left with a blank platform to the right - nice place for a laptop, mouse mat or some smallish hardware piece. Nice...
 
What's the price?
 
the panel layout looks almost exactly like the ms2000. i *just* got an ms2000b. damnit.
 
I went to a talk by Brian Eno the other day where he revealed he has been designing a synth with Korg for the last Five Years using some kind of wacky programming interface that operates in a similar way to Photoshop Filters. I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere before, but I thought it was quite interesting.

L-c
 
theres more info on it here

and is it me or does the "radias" vocoder voice sound like its saying "lazyarse"? hmmm....
 
$1700... for $800 they would have me thinking about about... now they are too close to real analog Moog Rack or PEK teritory.
 
i played it today at namm - it is pretty sweet and rich. it really reminded me a an analog synth and it's cool that you can make it flat or tilt up the the controls for the studio.
 
Any official news on price/release date?
 
its amazing. You'll love it.
 
Very nice ,listened to all the demos
and watched the videos on it just beats the Virus Ti price by £500 UK
But what would you go for ?
 
I've made a couple of demo videos of the Radias, and took some pictures.

It's a nice walk through the presets, since i'm still learning the use of the machine.
