6.1 Playing Notes

Once connected and configured, simply press the keys on the Radium 49 to send MIDI note data to your software instruments. The velocity sensitivity of the keys will translate into dynamic variations in your sound.

6.2 Using Controller Knobs

The 8 assignable controller knobs can be mapped to various parameters within your DAW or software instruments. This allows for real-time control over sound characteristics.

• Zadatak: The method for assigning knobs varies by software. Typically, you will enter a "MIDI Learn" mode in your DAW, select the parameter you wish to control, and then turn the desired knob on the Radium 49.
• Uobičajene upotrebe: Control volume, pan, filter cutoff, resonance, effect send levels, or any other MIDI-mappable parameter.

• Nagibni kotač: Move this wheel up or down to temporarily raise or lower the pitch of the notes being played. It typically springs back to the center position.
• Modulacijski kotač: Move this wheel to add modulation effects, suchs as vibrato, tremolo, or filter sweeps, depending on how your software instrument is configured. This wheel usually stays in its last set position.

6.4 Octave Transposition
