Overview
Radium 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.

61-note keyboard
8 knobs and 8 sliders assignable to any MIDI parameters
Pitch and modulation wheels
USB port routes 16 channels of MIDI I/O directly to and from your computer
MIDI Out jack routes MIDI signals from Radium to control external gear
Separate MIDI Out jack routes MIDI signals from your computer to control external gear -- no separate interface needed
Octave up and down buttons extend keyboard range
Fully functional, 61-key MIDI controller keyboard sends all MIDI messages, such as modulation, pitch-bend, MIDI volume and more
Keyboard doubles as a data input device
Lightweight -- easy to take wherever the music is
Power the Radium with the USB port or 9VDC power supply
Flexibility and control
Radium is perfect for applications like real-time 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.
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… read more the tedium of the mouse behind and put your hands on any 16 MIDI parameters of your choice in real time.
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 pounds, 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 eight knobs and eight 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 eight 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.

This midi controller has been my go-to board for over a year, now. I travel a lot and it is great to have a board that fits in a non-oversized bag. One of the better features IMHO is that it can be powered externally. Why is that being excluded on newer boards? You need external power if you want to interface with an iPad - which I have been doing a lot, lately. The action is fast, the MIDI assignment is fairly easy, and the portability is unsurpassed. As mentioned in other reviews, the in increment on some of the controllers is a little jumpy, (especially true with the mod and pith-bend wheels). But if you're using it with Logic or any other DAW, you can smooth out modulations in the mix. The keyboard does feel a bit toyish, but that doesn't affect the performance.

Features
Using the setup for MIDI CC and channel assignments is a bit confusing at first. Would be nice if there were a few more buttons so you wouldn't have to use the keys.
Ease of Use
Easily interfaces with Logic, other DAWs. Needs an M-Audio UNO or other MIDI-to-USB device to communicate with the iPad 4.
Quality
Feels flimsy at first, but this keyboard has been practically indestructible! The keys can easily come loose, but then they'll pop back into place by simply touching them again. I've had this board since 2004, and it has gone everywhere with me. Other than surface scratches,… read more it still performs like new.
Value
Great price for this little gem, especially when you consider longevity.
Manufacturer Support
N/A. Haven't had to deal with customer service. Their products have performed as billed.
The Wow Factor
I was really impressed when I first bought the Radium. It was the first board that I was able to use in a live performance setting with a laptop, and have complete control over MIDI on stage, CC included. Works great with the iPad, too! There are better boards on the market now, but not for the price, and more of them seem to be leaving off the external power option, lately.

Composer and performing musician. Play keys, guitar, electronic contraptions.
