Synthesists can use Radium to put their hands on parameters normally buried deep within their hardware. Now its 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 Radiums eight sliders to control your virtual faders. Radiums knobs can also control pan, effects send amount and much more.
