Owner's manual
Thank you for purchasing the Korg EXB-RADIAS
synthesizer board. To ensure trouble-free enjoyment,
please read this owner's manual carefully and use
the product as directed.
Installing the option board
For details on how to install this EXB-RADIAS board,
please refer to the owner's manual of your compat-
ible product. ("Installing options")
Safety precautions
Please read this before you begin installation
Warning
•Before installing an option, be sure to disconnect the
power supply cable and the connecting cables to any
peripheral devices. Failure to do so could cause electrical
shock or may damage the device.
•When installing, repairing, or replacing an option, you
must perform only those actions that the owner 's manual
directs, and no other.
•Do not apply excessive force to the electronic components
or connectors on the circuit board(s) of an option, or
attempt to disassemble them.
This could cause electric shock, fire, or malfunction.
Caution
•Before touching the option, touch a metal component of
the device into which it will be installed, to discharge any
static electricity that may be present in your body.
Static electricity may damage the electronic components.
•When handling an option, never touch parts that are not
related to the installation.
Doing so may cause electrocution or malfunctions.
•When handling an option, be careful not to touch the
leads on the back side of the circuit board (the side
opposite that on which the components are mounted).
The sharp points may cause injury.
•Do not allow the option or other device being installed to
become wet, and do not allow objects to be placed on top of it.
Doing so could cause malfunction.
•When installing an option, be careful that screws or other
parts do not fall into the device into which it is being
installed.
Doing so could cause malfunction.

Installing this product
For the procedure of installing this product, refer to the
owner's manual of the device into which the product is
being installed. If you have any questions, please contact
your local Korg distributor.
Cautions when installing an option board
In order to install the board correctly, please pay attention
to the following points.
Be careful of static electricity, which may damage compo-
nents inside the product or on the board. Before beginning
the installation, touch an unpainted metal part of the chassis
or the grounding terminal of a grounded device to discharge
any static electricity that may be present in your body.
Perform the installation according to the steps given in the
directions, making sure that the board is installed correctly
and in the correct orientation.
When installing or removing the board, be careful not to drop
parts or the option board into the instrument.
Handle the board with care. Subjecting it to physical shock (by
dropping or pressing it) may cause damage or malfunctions.
Be careful not to touch any exposed metal portions of the
circuit board, or any parts that are not essential to the
installation process.
THE FCC REGULATION WARNING (for U.S.A.)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Unauthorized changes or modification to this system can void the
user's authority to operate this equipment.

Main features
The EXB-RADIAS is a 24-voice polyphonic synthe-
sizer board that uses Korg MMT (Multiple Modeling
Technology) to provide a wide range of tonal variety.
When the EXB-RADIAS is installed, you'll be able to
use RADIAS programs, and save original RADIAS
programs that you've created in the bank provided
for RADIAS programs.
Up to four RADIAS programs can be assigned to the
timbres of a combination or to the MIDI tracks of a
song. For example, you can create a combination or
song that uses RADIAS sounds in conjunction with
programs of the EDS bank on the M3.
Synthesizer
The synthesizer consists of the oscillator, filter, amp,
EG and LFO sections. In addition to typical analog
waveforms, the oscillator section also includes many
DWGS waveforms, providing a wide variety of tonal
colors. You can also use the filter, amp, EG, and LFO
to process external audio signals connected to the
input jacks.
Vocoder
In addition to simulating the classic vocoder sounds of
yester-year, the EXB-RADIAS can also produce highly
original vocoder sounds by shifting the filter frequen-
cies or adjusting the level and pan of each band.
The Formant Motion function uses a filter bank to
analyze the signal that's being input as the modula-
tor, and records the result as up to seven seconds of
formant motion data. By playing back the recorded
formant motion data, you can produce vocoder
sounds without having to vocalize into a mic. Sixteen
sets of formant motion data can be saved in internal
memory.
Virtual patches
There are eight virtual patches which simulate the
patch cord connections of an analog synthesizer.
Fifteen types of modulation source such as EG, LFO,
velocity, keyboard tracking, and controllers can be
assigned to a variety of parameters to create highly
flexible sounds.

Modulation sequencer
In a way that is similar to an analog sequencer, a
modulation sequencer applies time-varying change
to the sound parameters by progressing through up
to sixteen steps, each of which is set to a specific
modulation data value. Since one RADIAS program
can simultaneously use three modulation sequencers,
you have the capability of producing complex tonal
changes.
Preloaded data and
parameters of the EXB-RADIAS
For details on the preloaded data of the EXB-RADIAS
and the parameters of a RADIAS program, refer to
the owner's manual included with the product or
provided on the included CD-ROM.
