Radium 61-Key USB MIDI Controller

The M-Audio Radium 61-Key USB MIDI Controller is a new breed of controller. Designed to meet the needs of today's electronic musicians, Radium puts you in control of any 16 MIDI-assignable parameters within your favorite software programs. Radium is also a USB MIDI interface that speaks directly with your computer without any extra devices. You don't need a separate MIDI interface for this keyboard--it IS the MIDI interface.

Flexibility and control

Radium is perfect for applications like realtime soft synth control, virtual mixing, drum programming, live performance, and more. The keyboard even doubles as an intuitive user interface, making control assignments a breeze.

Radium lends itself to a wide variety of applications that help blur the difference between stage and studio.

Soft Synths

Software synths are very much a reality--and along with them come dozens of parameters just begging to be tweaked. Radium lets you leave the tedium of the mouse behind and put your hands on any 16 MIDI parameters of your choice in realtime.

Getting Deeper

Radium makes it easier for you to get deeper into your software programs. Unleash the full potential of your musical tools and push your creativity to the limit.

Live Performance

Radium gives you more freedom of expression on the stage than you've ever had before. And at only 8 lbs., Radium won't break your back.

Programming Drums

Why take hours to program drums with a mouse? Now you can use Radium to play grooves into your software in real time. Then use the 8 knobs and 8 sliders to manipulate the dynamics, feel, effects, and more.

Hardware Access

Synthesists can use Radium to put their hands on parameters normally buried deep within their hardware. Now it's easy to express yourself without having to navigate through dozens of menus.

Virtual Mixing

Who wants to mix with a mouse? Now you can use Radium's 8 sliders to control your virtual faders. Radium's knobs can also control pan, effects send amount, and much more.

Easy Control

Controls in the USB Keystation series aren't buried mysteriously in obscure menus. The keys have a second layer of functions, allowing you to program MIDI control information directly from the black and whites. Here's how it works:

Press the MIDI/Select button.
Press the note on the keyboard with label corresponds to the parameter you wish to change.
Use the Data Entry slider to select the value or enter numeric values by pressing the keys labeled with numbers.

Simple and elegant!
