"So. This is what this day's massive blog contribution actually is about. The first preview of Op-1's built in FM Radio! What you hear in this demo are some simple effects added and some channel selection in the end. There's also a sequenced beat playing parallel. Remember that this is a very early experiment. We still have some home work to do to fully explore the full potential of having a synthesizer with built-in FM radio (!)"Listen to it here. Click here for more samples of the OP-1 that just went up.
Shortwave would be a lot more useful.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Not only does FM not do the whole "eeeuuuwwweee" thing of AM radio, it's going to be kinda quiet (at least in the UK) in a few years when the govt. pulls the entire spectrum. :/ I'm guessing that the point is to sample from the radio or send it through the synth engine, but... well, let's just hope they're going to include an audio input. If they're not, though, combining one with one of those personal FM transmitters for making your MP3 player work in any old car would do the same, so it might not be completely useless.
