What is 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.

This is weird — it is both paid and open-sourced.
Information to warez groups Since the source is open, it should be simple to turn the demo into a fully featured version. Please let me know of any problems. (Just compiling the source is cheating!)
?!
This is not future or new GUI. This is inspired by the good old Pro Tracker and Octamed that found their origins at the Amiga era. That said it is cool. A modern software of that kind is Renoise. https://www.renoise.com/products/renoise It is inspired itself by Fast Tracker which I used back in the time.
Sometimes old concepts can still be the future ;)
It has little to do with old Pro Tracker and Octamed, and it differs significantly from Renoise or modern trackers because it's not really a tracker. Its vertical layout is one of few things that can confuse users and make it look like a tracker (for first five seconds).
Totally future. Innovative and actively developed!
