Radium is a music editor with a new type of interface.
One gram of radium-226 undergoes 3.7 × 10 10 disintegrations per second, a level of activity that defined the curie (Ci), an early unit of radioactivity. This is an energy release equivalent to about 6.8 × 10 −3 calorie per second, sufficient to raise the temperature of a well-insulated 25-gram sample of water at the rate of 1 °C every hour. 1.1 What is radium? Radium is a naturally-occurring silvery white radioactive metal that can exist in several forms called isotopes. It is formed when uranium and thorium (two other natural radioactive substances) decay (break down) in the environment. Radium has been found at very low levels in soil, water, rocks, coal, plants, and food.
- Compared to the normal sequencer interface editing is quicker and more musical data fits on the screen.
- Compared to trackers, note positions and effects are edited graphically, which should be quicker, provide more vertical space and give a better musically overview. (Everything can also be edited by text, like in a normal tracker)
- Radium can also be used as a normal multitracker to mix and record audio.
However, despite its unusual appearance, it's a design goal for Radium to be straightforward to use, and easy to learn.It should not be harder to learn Radium than any tracker or most MIDI sequencers.Users accustomed to trackers might use more time adjusting to the interface.
History
The development of Radium started in 1999 based on ideas developed 1997-1999 while extending the Octamed tracker on the Amiga. The first public version of Radium was released in 2000. Since then, Radium has been ported to Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. Today, Radium is probably the worlds largest and most advanced tracker-like music editor.Some of the features
- Audio and MIDI multitracker
- Automate pitch, velocity, effects, and tempo.
- Granular synthesis
- Smooth scrolling
- Optional piano roll
- Tickless
- Global swing, and swing-per-track
- Modular mixer and/or mixer strips
- MIDI sequencing
- Hard drive audio recording and playback
- AU, LADSPA, VST, and VST3 plugins
(More than 100 LADSPA plugins are included) - Several built-in effects and instruments
(virtual instruments, multiband compressor, modulators, etc.) - Pure Data embedded.
(Linux only for now) - Includes a Faust audio DSP development environment
- Frame-accurately synchronize playback to e.g. Ardour, Bitwig, or MASCHINE.
- Graphical zoom
- Non-destructive changable Lines Per Beat ('Line Zoom').
- Microtonality
- Scripting in Python or Scheme.
- Plugin delay compensation applied to all parts of the audio graph
- Multicore support
- Unlimited undo/redo
- Open source with a straightforward and easy to use build system
Quick start
- Load a demo song from the File menu.
- Play by pressing right alt + space. Stop by pressing space alone.
- Add a new note by pressing a key. Change octave with F1 and F2.
(Or record from MIDI input)
