MS2000, MS2000B & microKORG presets for RADIAS
This download contains the factory preload data from the MS2000, MS2000B & microKORG synths converted for use in the RADIAS. Based on the conversion software developed by Darren Richards, they were then tweaked by the sound designer who worked on the initial voicing of these three classic synthesizers, to more accurately resemble the original sounds.
These can be installed using the RADIAS Sound Editor. Enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------
Artist Programs
European artists and programmers have created 128 brand new programs that utilize the added functionality of the RADIAS version 2.0 update.
Note:
* The programs currently in your RADIAS will be over-written when the new programs are transmitted from the RADIAS Sound Editor. Be sure to back up all data in the RADIAS before transmitting new programs. Please refer to the Owner’s Manual installed with the RADIAS Sound Editor for further information.
Note:
* Your RADIAS must first be upgraded to version 2.0. If you have not done this, please download the new operating system first.
RADIAS Sound Editor v2.0 must be installed in your PC and you will need a USB cable.
