X Audio Systems VCRadio Brings Voltage-Controlled Radio To Eurorack

X Audio Systems has introduced VCRadio,  a voltage-controlled FM/AM/SW stereo radio receiver for Eurorack modulear synthesizers.

The unit generates a continuous stream of audio content, noises, squelches and broadcasts, depending on where you are located in the world. The unit will easily pick-up any station or noises lurking at any frequency within the selected range.

You can modulate the CV input to create beats/patterns of mixed radio signals and noises.

Features:

  • 1 radio receiver (FM – AM – 6 bands of Short Wave)
  • 2 LEDs for indicating if the radio signal is strong (STATION) or stereo (STEREO)
  • 1 CV Input (with gain) to modulate the TUNER knob with an external signal (-5V – +5V)
  • 3 audio line outputs (LEFT, RIGHT, SUM)
  • 2 antennas (telescopic for FM/SW and ferrite loop for AM)
  • Eurorack module 8HP

Radio Bands:

  • FM Radio (88 – 108 MHz)
  • AM Radio (520 – 1710 kHz)
  • SW Band 1 (2,3 – 2,5 MHz)
  • SW Band 2 (3,9 – 4,0 MHz)
  • SW Band 3 (5,6 – 6,4 MHz)
  • SW Band 4 (6,8 – 7,6 MHz)

  1. If you’re going to add SW, please add sideband! The harmonic sweeps are the most musical radio noise. The rest is either bad music, talk, or static.
