Red Panda RPL-109 Radius Ring Modulator/Frequency Shifter Pedal

Discover New Sonic Horizons with Radius
Enter the realm of sonic experimentation with the Radius, a cutting-edge ring modulator and frequency shifter that marries advanced pitch tracking with an intricate LFO system. This innovative device is built around a unique "eight-quadrant multiplier" algorithm, offering seamless transitions from classic ring modulation effects to dynamic frequency shifting. The Radius is your ticket to exploring complex harmonic structures, bell-like tones, metallic textures, and beyond, enriching your sound with unparalleled depth and versatility.

Beyond Traditional Boundaries
The Radius excels in pushing the limits of sound manipulation. By multiplying two signals to produce sum and difference frequencies, it unlocks a vast array of timbres that extend far beyond traditional ring modulation capabilities. With the ability to double the frequency ratios and adjust the levels of the sum or difference frequencies, the Radius invites you to explore new timbral possibilities, from soft tremolos to metallic textures and everything in between.

Responsive and Intuitive Control
Stage-ready and intuitive, the Radius features pitch tracking and a push-to-tune footswitch, ensuring that it responds fluidly to your playing dynamics. Simply hold the left footswitch and play a note to tune the carrier oscillator accordingly. The pitch tracking function maintains the pitch ratio across the scale, offering consistent and expressive sound manipulation. For even more control, an expression pedal can be assigned to tweak any combination of parameters.

Advanced Modulation for Creative Expression
At the heart of the Radius is an advanced LFO that includes triangle, square, random waveforms, and an eight-step sequencer, all of which can be triggered by an envelope for dynamic effects. This envelope follower responds to your playing dynamics, allowing for expressive, sweeping spectral changes that breathe life into your performance.

Designed for Sound Design and Synthesis
With its stereo inputs/outputs and well-spaced controls, the Radius is perfectly suited for sound design, synthesis, and creative mixing. Its comprehensive MIDI implementation enables synchronization with MIDI clock, sequencing parameter changes, and playing the carrier oscillator from a keyboard, offering limitless possibilities for sonic exploration.
