Radikal Eurorack brochure

We prepared a brochure for the Superbooth 2018 and the Moogfest 2018. Click on the pictures to load a high resolution version of the brochure.

Delta CEP A drum-sounds demo

People often ask us, whether the  Delta Cep A is capable of producing drum sounds. So we created this little demo for you. We programmed drum sounds, sampled them and transferred them into the Spectralis. Afterwards we programmed a couple of patterns and played a little drum session with it. While the patterns were running we tweaked the FX-returns of the mixing desk. We only used the internal FXs of the mixer – the plate reverb with a very short reverb time and the LoFi delay.

Here is a little audio demo:

Below you can listen again to the same sound demo. But this time we added some compression. We used the Logic Pro-X Classic VCA compressor with limiting!

Radikal revealed upcoming desktop version!

01/20/2018 Fernwald – Namm 2018 news

Radikal Technologies announced today, that they are going to release a desktop version of their awaited semimodular, paraphonic synthesizer DELTA CEP A. The Delta Cep A desktop case is just the first family member of a complete range of eurorack compatible cabinets that we will see from Radikal this year, said Jörg Schaaf.

Delta CEP A – Paraphonic semimodular synthesizer

NAMM 2018 News: Radikal Technologies presents the Delta Cep A – a semimodular paraphonic synthesizer voice

The Delta Cep A is the perfect starting point into the eurorack modular world. A MIDI to CV Interface, Oscillators, Filters, LFO, Envelope Generator, Mixer, VCA and a FX section and even a memory sequencer/interpolator for new incredible sound FXs. Each section has inputs and outputs and adds a lot of power to any already existing modular synth. The Delta CEP A can also be used totally independent from any Eurorack frame with our Delta CEP A desktop casing. Even without patching one single cable, the Delta can be used as a powerful solo synthesizer and Chords/Pads machine.
