Korg MMT User Manual

So that you can connect the RADIAS to the 61-key/73-
key/88-key keyboard assembly used by the M3 music 
workstation/sampler and play the RADIAS from that 
keyboard, RADIAS version 2.0 adds the following 
functions as choices that can be selected in “MIDI1”–
“MIDI5” (

☞p.117 P04–1: MIDI page “MIDI1”–

“MIDI5”).

Select this if you want to use the ribbon controller of the 
keyboard assembly as a modulation source for the 
virtual patch.

The ribbon controller will produce a control change 
value of 64 when you release your hand.

When using the ribbon controller of the 73-key or 
88-key keyboard assembly, you may not obtain the 
expected result unless you select #016±.

Select these if you want to use the MIDI control changes 
transmitted by the four user sliders (Modulation Sliders 
5, 6, 7, and 8) of the M3 control surface as modulation 
sources for virtual patches.

For #017±, #019±, #020±, and #021±, the resulting 
modulation will be zero when the slider etc. is set 
to the center position (control change value of 064). 
For #017, #019, #020, and #021, the resulting 
modulation will be zero when the slider etc. is set 
to the “0” position (control change value of 0). 
Select the choice that will give you the desired type 
of change when you operate the slider or other 
controller.

If you would like an easy way to monitor the audio 
output of the M3-M and RADIAS-R without using a 
mixer or similar device, connect the RADIAS-R’s MAIN 
OUT jacks to the M3-M’s AUDIO INPUT jacks, set the 
M3-M’s rear panel AUDIO INPUT [MIC/LINE] switch 
to LINE, and set the Global P0: Basic Setup- Audio page 
“Bus Select” setting to L/R. With these settings, you’ll 
be able to monitor the sound via the M3-M’s headphone 
jack (or main output jacks). To adjust the volume, use 
the M3-M’s rear panel AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob 
and the RADIAS-R’s [VOLUME] knob.

If you have made the connections shown above–for 
example to synchronize the tempo of the M3-M and the 
RADIAS-R–messages such as note-on from the TO 
MODULE (2nd) connector and the MIDI messages from 
the M3-M’s MIDI OUT connector may cause the 
RADIAS-R to sound duplicate notes. To prevent this, 
make the following settings.
• RADIAS-R GLOBAL P04–1 MIDI page “Clock”: Exter-

nal MIDI or Auto (RADIAS owner’s manual p.117)

• RADIAS-R GLOBAL P04–1 MIDI page “LocalCtrl”: 

Off (RADIAS owner’s manual p.116)

If you turn the RADIAS-R’s local control (“LocalCtrl”) 
off, note-on messages etc. from the TO MODULE (2nd) 
connector will not be received.

If you have made the connections shown above and are 
playing an M3-M program or combi that uses KARMA 
(such as a rhythmic drum program generated by KARMA), 
the note data from the KARMA module may be 
transmitted to the RADIAS-R. To prevent this, make the 
following settings.
• M3-M Global P1: MIDI- MIDI Routing page “Enable 

KARMA Module to MIDI OUT”: Off

• RADIAS-R GLOBAL P04–1 MIDI page “LocalCtrl”: 

On (RADIAS owner’s manual p.116)

With these settings, the M3-M will not transmit note 
data from the keyboard either, so turn the RADIAS-R’s 
“LocalCtrl” setting On.
