One of the coolest DIY modules ever, now in a new and improved Mk2 form, and available fully assembled! Please note that the module doesn't include an SD card.
Manufacturer's description
Radio Music is a virtual radio module. It’s a 4HP Eurorack sample player that sits somewhere between a CV controllable radio, a tape loop machine and a vintage sampler. Think of it as a fun, controllable source of unexpected audio in a Eurorack system.
The original Radio Music was born in 2014 and retired in 2021 when the chips were no longer available. This new 2026 MK2 Radio Music has been completely redesigned with improved hardware and software. The module keeps it’s compact size and simple interface while also adding lots more depth and playback options.
There is now a V/Oct chromatic pitch mode, and also more modes for tuner control, speed and looping, which can be performed on-the-fly by using the new (optional) Radio Remote.
The noise floor has been significantly lowered, now measuring better than -86dB. Playback is hi-fi, and speed changes are smooth and tape-like (unless you purposefully choose the gnarly 90’s sampler mode)!
Supported file formats now include WAV, AIFF and RAW files up to 24-bit / 96kHz and playback latency is extremely low (<2ms).
Radio Controls
The Station knob is used to browse samples stored on the SD card, just like tuning a radio. The Reset button retriggers the selected sample from the start, while the Start knob sets the start point of the sample.
Tapping the Start knob enters into pitch mode – now this knob will control the playback speed and direction of the current sample. Tap this knob again at any time to return to Start mode.
Just like an analog radio, the module works on a series of banks and stations. Each of the 16 banks can contain many different stations. Each station is an audio file stored in a folder on the SD card. It’s now easier than ever to move between banks by simply pushing and turning the Station knob.
Radio Remote
Radio Music works by itself, with all options available in the settings file on the SD card. The optional Radio Remote gives tactile, playable access to many of these settings, allowing for quick performance of parameters such as Speed and Loop modes without having to edit any settings on the sd card file.
Radio Remote is an 8mu USB MIDI controller with an alternative front panel. The remote connects to the Radio Music via the USB socket on the module and will work straight away without the need for any alternative firmware.
Note: other midi controllers will not work with Radio Music, but if you already have an older 8mu, you can update the firmware to use it with Radio Music MK2 and get the remote panel HERE.
Radio remote connects via USB-C, we don’t include a cable inside the kits as we believe there are already enough USB cables in the world.
Radio remote only works with the new 2026 version of Radio Music – it does not work with Radio Music V1.
Features
- Extremely low latency (<2ms) playback of WAV, AIFF and RAW files up to 24-bit / 96kHz
- Better than -86dB measured noise floor
- Multi-hour file playback
- Fluid forward and reverse playback from +2 oct to -2 oct
- Supports microSD cards up to 2TB, up to 800 files on each
- Calibrated v/Oct chromatic pitch mode
- Speed modes: Tape, Chromatic, ’90s
- Tuner modes: Sharp, Soft, Radio
- Loop modes: Off, Forward, Ping-pong
- Pulse In becomes pulse out in clock divider mode
- SD card not included – we only recommend SanDisk and Kingston brand.
Like the MK1 version, Radio Music is designed to be hackable, with alternative firmware development actively encouraged. The MK2 runs on the same popular and powerful RP2040 processor as Workshop Computer and 8mu. We’ll be sharing documentation and ‘Hello World’ files demonstrating file access and playback. Note: it is not possible to update a MK1 Radio Music firmware to add the features of MK2 to older modules.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free to most parts of the UK if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Certain areas of the UK, including the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland and other offshore islands, may have higher shipping charges and slightly longer delivery times due to surcharges applied by the courier and reduced service availability in those areas. We try to keep these costs to a minimum.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
Please note that 'next day' delivery is an aim, not a guarantee. The vast majority of orders shipped on a 'next day' service do arrive the next day, but occasionally couriers experience unforeseen delays due to weather or traffic conditions etc.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
