A bit far fetched, but creative and actually a good idea nonetheless.

Love the general idea but that audio demo is ridiculous. They went at this unit the wrong way if thats all it does. It should have been designed so that the Radio signals picked up acted like a carrier signal effecting whatever you were playing through the thing. That would open the door to a million strange sounds. As it is now, it sounds like a guitar playing over a radio.

I think given that delivery is 1st April, they are prolly having a bit of fun...

BTW you could easily build something like that in Max/MSP and simply hook up a shortwave radio to your interface!

Holger Czukay should sue. He had this on lock 30 years ago.

I wonder if you can actually get some neet modulation sounds out of it instead of the dumbass radio that you hear in the demo

Interesting.

This brings up obvious copyright issues. What happens if I tune into Neil n' Bob in the morning, jam with my new filter, and inadvertantly record thier witty reparté?

If you're using it on stage, and there's another track in there, are you "rebroadcasting or publically performing" the other music illegally?

I know that in a world of sampling and mash-ups, this isn't going to be a significant concern, but it is interesting nonetheless.

^ exactly my thoughts

I use my tv audio signal sometimes and route it to Live, add some wicked effects... you get some nice results

HOlly shit that was the most disapointing thing i've ever experienced! WOW, I was happy there was a new moog product and it turns out to be complete crap! Truly shocking.

"The MF/FM has an on-board analog radio tuner, capable of locking into frequencies across the FM radio band. Mix any instrument with live radio signals, and tweak the voltage controlled oscillator for modulated madness and creativity.

The new MF/FM begins shipping April FIRST."

C'mon guys they've even capitalised it for you.
