Discover new sonic dimensions
The Red Panda RPL-109 Radius goes beyond traditional ring modulation by utilizing a distinctive "eight-quadrant multiplier" algorithm. This enables smooth transitions between ring modulation and frequency shifting, offering users a broad palette of sonic textures. From harmonic structures and bell-like tones to metallic textures, the Radius facilitates the exploration of new musical territories. This feature makes it not just a pedal but a gateway to creative sound design, suitable for both live performances and studio sessions.
Dynamic control at your fingertips
The Radius stands out with its advanced LFO section, featuring six selectable shapes and the ability to be envelope-triggered. This level of control allows musicians to inject movement and texture into their sounds dynamically. The inclusion of pitch tracking and a push-to-tune footswitch enhances the pedal's responsiveness, ensuring that it reacts organically to your playing style. Whether you're performing live or laying down tracks in the studio, the Radius offers an expressive toolset that encourages exploration and experimentation.
Designed for versatility
With its well-spaced controls and stereo inputs/outputs, the Radius is not only a musician's tool but also a sound designer's dream. Its compatibility with synths and creative mixing applications underscores its versatility. The pedal's full MIDI implementation opens up a world of possibilities, allowing for precise synchronization with MIDI clocks, sequencing of parameter changes, and direct playability of the carrier oscillator from a keyboard. This makes the Radius an invaluable addition to any setup, bridging the gap between traditional modulation effects and modern sound design.
Intuitive, yet deep
The Radius may offer deep and complex sound-shaping capabilities, but its intuitive control layout ensures that these features are accessible to musicians at all levels. Whether you're dialling in subtle textures or crafting entirely new soundscapes, the Radius encourages musical exploration. Its robust build and thoughtful design mean that it can withstand the rigours of touring, making it a reliable companion on stage and in the studio. Embrace the future of modulation with the Red Panda RPL-109 Radius, where every twist and turn opens the door to undiscovered sonic landscapes.
