Picking up the radio...

[Blurillaz]

Yes. It's called a radio.

None. Devi posted it today. Same price as all the other two-knobbers. From what I can tell it's very high gain and has a weird oscillation. Screeching to rhythmic. I'm not sure if there's a way for it to be toggled on or off though. In the video she plays and then she turns the camera and seems to click something else. Not sure.

i love this idea. i will look into it!

edit: on second thought, it might make more sense to use a small portable radio as a CV input into a pedal?

COOOOOOOL!!!!

As for the small portable radio, I think it could go either way. You'd probably get better signal strength that way, but I think it would be cool as heck to have a pedal with an antenna.

there are a few people in the world of free improvisation who play the shortwave radio receiver. if you know the wavelengths, you can dial in intermodulation noise, foreign-language dialogue, or music from various nations.

I found an AM station in my car that was basically my car. All kinds of noises based upon the acceleration or air conditioning and such.

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. Amplified audio source would probably fall well within CV range... Would be very fun for FM modulation too! (Paging the Copilot FX Caracooooooolllll......)

On this subject, can anyone tell me how to shield pedals/amps from radio? While I think it might be cool to use in some way, for the most part I don't want it there.

[Bellyheart]

Insulate...not sure which material, but perhaps plastics and aluminum like pickguards.

That's really cool! Does it work every time?

sample it and make some funky fresh beats

I had a car that did that with EVERY AM station. I thought it was hilarious at first, but it got old fast. I Believe it was due to the stereo not being grounded properly, but I'm no scientist.

[autopilot]

I had this idea a while back too. I would totally buy something that did this on purpose. Maybe with some kind of controls to warp what was actually being picked up into some kind of weird modulation?

Ooh - that WOULD be cool. Or how about if the radio signal somehow affected the rate/depth of the modulation of your instrument signal?

try plugging radio signal into your caracol

Dang, you've got skillz. Props. Especially Katy Perry since she's married and likes kissing girls.
