Radikal Technologies have introduced Accelerator which they say will take the lead on stage and in the studio with
an never heard, highly adjustable sonic palette of ultra fat sound. Here's the rest of what they have to say...
The Accelerator is a polyphonic Synthesizer
with eight powerful subtractive voices.
Each voice consists of three oscillators, two
multimode filters, 6 envelope generators,
three voice LFOs and one section LFO. An
additional noise source with independent
multimode filtering and variable signal
routing has been added for more sonic
flexibility. A very nice balanced lightweighted
keyboard with 61 keys, keyboard split option,
aftertouch and velocity sensitivity completes
the new synthesizer.
The Accelerator is perfectly prepared for
your Live performances. A lot of synthesizers
nowadays do not offer direct patch selection
anymore. Instead of using direct access
push buttons you have to dial in the desired
patch and press enter. The Accelerator
makes sound selection instantly available at
your fingertips with dedicated patch select
buttons. Furthermore, the unique program
chain feature allows for programming a
chain of programs that selects the correct
patch automatically for you.
Another stunning new feature is the the built
in 3D sensor. Movements of the keyboard
are converted into Modulation data. This
brilliant addition allows for controlling
parameters like pitch, the filter frequency or
modulation depths by lifting up or shaking
the keyboard.
Do you love step sequencers and
arpeggiators? The Accelerator would not be
a Radikal synthesizer if we did not integrate
some sequencing goodies. You can enter
some notes into the step sequencer,
transpose the sequences with the left hand
while performing a solo at the upper end of
the split keyboard.
The powerful warm and crispy sound of
this new synthesizer flagship will become
the center of your keyboard setup. If you
would like expand the Accelerator's sonic
power even more you can get additional
voices with our DSP expansion module.
The DSP expansion does not only add extra
polyphony to the Accelerator - you will also
be able to use up to eight independent
synthesizer sounds at a time with the
integrated multimode feature. Features
