For intense, intricate, get into the nitty-gritty modulating, the Red Panda Radius Ring Modulator/Frequency Shifter is a digital suite of unparalleled expression. Combining a spectrum of elements that spans traditional and nontraditional ring modulating capabilities, the Radius delivers an excellent package of deep modulating character. The Red Panda Radius is designed around an “eight-quadrant multiplier” algorithm that runs the gamut from ring modulating to frequency shifting with so many captivating detours along the way. Rolling through such sounds can result in sounds like complex harmonic structures, tremolos, textures both metallic and effervescent, and many, many more. With a good ring modulator like the Radius, the only limits dictated are those by imagination. The ring modulator under the hood of the Radius multiplies two signals together to create a new frequency sum – the first signal being an instrument, the second an internal oscillator. Uncovering new modulated treasures at each dial turn becomes an adventure for players seeking new sonic frontiers. Going truly wild and devil-may-care with the Radius on a board or a synth setup brings exciting discoveries quickly, however, the Radius also packs in quite a few tricks for players seeking a more controlled form of chaos. The Radius employs pitch tracking, a push-to-tune footswitch and picking dynamic capabilities to reel in the ring modulating for responsive control for onstage scenarios or for landing a recording just right. Expression pedal connectivity adds on to the remote control capabilities of the Radius and can be assigned to any combination of knob functions. Further features of the Radius include its advanced LFO with triangle, square and random waveforms. An eight-step sequencer joins in on the waveforming fun along with being triggered via the envelope. To top off implementation, the Radius features full MIDI integration that allows it to be MIDI clock synced, capable of sequencing parameter changes and playable via a keyboard. With so much functionality and tonality packed into a compact unit, the Red Panda Radius is a delight for modulation fans everywhere looking for their next musical summit.
