Just like the title says, really:
is it possible or am I out of luck?

The Mac version is a binary from 2007 (for PowerPC and 32 bits Intel Macs) both of which are unsupported since macOS Catalina.
I tried running the Windows version from the same period in the Wine “emulator” on my M2 and it seems at least to start up. No idea if MIDI connectivity works though. Check https://wineformac.org for all the different versions of Wine for Macs.

thanks for the idea!
I’ll give that a try…
Also a friend will get me a copy of Mojave which should be able to run the 2007 Editor, maybe I can get that to work with Parallels

will do
I have a copy running on an older Intel Mac with Mojave. From memory the 2.0 software didn’t work, and version 2.0.1 was tricky to find online (removed from Korg Website), but yeah, that’s the version you need. Works pretty well.

What the?
Seriously?
Oh my, why would they remove it if it is more recent/funtional 
thanks for the link
OK, seems running Intel OSes on an ARM processor is not possible, or at least not without paying for Parallels Pro…
I’m not doing that.
Hoping for more success with the WINE suggestion
Yep, can confirm 2.01 works on Mojave. I keep a little 13" i5 MBP for running legacy stuff, and have an external SSD with Mojave on specifically for the older 32 bit editors.

The other solution, though not the cheapest, is to run MidiQuest, which has a radias editor.

That is definitely good to lnow about 2.01 & Mojave
Sofar this quest has either led me into paywalls or further and further down the rabbithole like back in the days when I enjoyed messing around with Linux
Sikarugir might have been my jam like 20 years ago but today seems a bit too involved without the promise of success being more than a maybe
I think my next step is trying to check if my semi broken & forgotten about ThinkPad still boots up, maybe I can just install & run the editor there
Is there anything in the RADIAS that is only accessible via host software? Or is the software just for convenience?
(I had a MS-2000r back in the day and am often tempted to pick up a RADIAS when the prices aren’t too crazy)

admittedly it would just be convenience & backup, but at this point in my life I doubt I will keep the Radias without those even though it is a mighty synth.
and since my ThinkPad works, yay, but runs XP and the required USB driver on Korg site is available only for 10 and above…
the decision to sell might be getting closer

In the interest of not annoying the already understaffed mods:
- All of my Holiday Budget is spent
- If you post your RADIAS in the for-sale forum this summer and tag me, I won’t complain

Everything is accessible in the Radias hardware. Editor makes lighter work of patch/bank management and sequence/arp programming though which really helps.

Excellent! That gives me time to explore the Radias without backup/safety net & gives you time to get the editor running somehow to easier replace the crap sounds I came up with until summer.
If I sell it you’ll be the first to know
Sorry to be pedantic, but forum rules: do NOT make offers to buy/sell outside of the buy/sell forums. But if you do make an appropriate post there later I’ll likely take a look.

Just a heads up, I had a similar situation with the Nord Modular and I was able to get the original editor running on my M2 Mac Mini Pro using a UTM virtual machine. It’s free, fairly quick to set up, and it easily created a bridge between my old hardware and my new Mac.
Take a look at the Nord Mod thread here (and elsewhere) for similar information:
