Radium

Radium is a music editor with a new type of interface.

  • 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. 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.
