radiaL is a loop-based
performance software with a beautiful and unique interface thoughtfully
optimized for playing live or composing and designing in the moment. RadiaL
includes an outstanding loop CD to get you started.
radiaL is based on loop
channels represented by circular displays, each with its own performable
multi-filter and pitch shifting/time scaling. Almost every aspect of the system
can be configured for live performance, studio recording, or sound exploration,
controlled from a variety of sources (control surfaces, MIDI, keyboard or
mouse).
RadiaL features complete
multi-channel audio I/O support, audio and effects routing, and support for VST
plug-ins.
Master Control
Dynamically set the number of Loop channels, effects processors, and
Virtual Outputs
Dynamic interchange of loops and DSP effects
Record direct to disk record on the fly with no interruption of the
performance
Simple high-level control interface
Sample-accurate playback and sync
Master BPM control with tap tempo and external sync support
Loop Channel
Sample-accurate adjustable playback speed for each loop channel
Individual tuning controls for pitch correction, transposition, or
extreme granulation effects
Unique "gauge" radiaL Loop display with sweep and position controls
Linear Channel inspector for low-level control
Channel Filters
Create the filter you want by shaping the frequency response directly
High and Low-pass filters always enabled at each end
As many peak and notch EQ nodes dynamically created as you need them
Flexible Bus Send Routing
Independent main and monitor controls lets you preview channels during
performance
Additional Virtual Outputs can be routed freely to physical audio
outputs with support for up to 512 channels
Matrix audio routing allows effects and busses to feed back into Loop
channel inputs and sends, allowing arbitrarily complex audio chains
Built-in saturation control and limiter
Audio I/O support includes VST, ASIO, ReWire, and Direct Connect
System Monitor
Displays CPU and memory availability
Audio Effects
Thirteen carefully picked pluggo plug-ins are included, plus the new
tempo-synchronized filter/delay plug-in dlaye
VST plug-in support with unprecedented routing.
Channel Inspector
Low-level control over playback quantization
Adjust loop slicing to create swing, tempo modulation, and polyrhythmic
timing
Continuous control all the way to granular synthesis and back again
Fine control of offsets, reverse playback, and more
Matrix Mixer
Effects outputs can be mixed to any output or effect, including itself
Layering, chaining, and complex systems are possible with automatic
feedback suppression
External MIDI control
Device control templates make it easy to use MIDI controllers with
radiaL
Configure your computer keyboard and mouse as controllers
Support for any InputSprockets-compatible device, from wireless mice and
trackballs to esoteric game pads and joysticks.
