CONTENTS
The user interface is built around four separate quadrants, an assignable XY Pad, and arpeggiator system to expand your creative potential. Each layer in has fully independent sound-shaping options including Attack, Release, Offset, Pitch, Pan, and more. Every quadrant has its own individual arpeggiator and filter with 39 built-in filter types.
The central XY Pad can be used in a variety of ways but defaults as volume control between the 4 layers. Each axis can be customized to affect a different parameter and can be used to control filters or a select amount of FX options. Rhythmic motion can also be added to the XY Pad, automatically adjusting each axis in a tempo-syncable way. You can also limit the X and Y range to create new patterns and fluctuations in tone.
You can set up dynamic arpeggiator, gliss, and strum patterns with our integrated ARP system, featuring a suite of abilities like rhythm, direction, swing and randomization. The Legato feature is also included, instantly turning this machine into a monophonic legato/portamento instrument with adjustable pitch bend speed control. Dive in to tweak and automate every parameter with total control over every detail, or just hit the Random button to instantly generate an infinite variety of new sound, parameter and dynamic modulator combinations. The Macro knobs to the left and right of the XY Pad can be assigned to modulate a variety of layer sound shaping controls or FX rack plugins.
User sample import allows you to blend your own WAV files into the engine to make each sound truly your own. Mix and shape your samples alongside our categories of sounds and 24 wavetables for your next epic atmosphere.
Radiant Decay ships with over 150 Factory Presets, each one lovingly crafted. They can be easily perused using the Preset Browser. You can also save new patches you’ve made using the browser, or share presets with other users.
