Radium 49 USB MIDI controller: The unit is identical to its recently introduced 61-key sibling, Radium, except that it offers one octave fewer keys and can run on batteries. 49 keys are augmented with 8 MIDI-assignable knobs and 8 MIDI-assignable sliders, giving real-time control of 16 MIDI parameters. Five user-definable preset banks extend this control to 80 MIDI parameters of the user's choice at the touch of a button. Radium 49 also has a built-in USB MIDI interface (16 channels of MIDI data directly with the computer. Two separate MIDI Outs. Pitch wheel, modulation wheel and octave up/down keys that extend the range of the 4-octave keyboard +/-3 octaves. The unit is powered via the USB port, batteries or via a 9V power supply.

At last more detail on the french editor Arturia's Moog Modular:
They use a new batch of algorythms created by their engineers called TAE (True Analog Emulation) that should eliminate aliasing effect. All computing is made in 64bit floating…
- 9 oscillators (921 Mg series)
- 2 LFOs
- 3 filter slots can be chosen among classic Moog 904 series (low-pass 24 dB, high-pass 24 dB, filter coupler), and an additional 20 dB multimode filter (7 modes)
- 1 noise generator (white and pink -- 923 Moog module)
- 6 ADSR auxiliary envelopes (911 Moog module)
- 2 VCAs (with their own envelopes, and 1 panoramic potentiometer for natural stereo effects)
- 16 auxiliary VCAs with modulation inputs
- 1 sequencer (3x8 steps -- 960 Moog module)
- 1 filter bank (14 bands with their own bandwidth)
