triggering an envelope works best on more percussive sources with large 
dymanic changes, like a drum machine for example, using a radio that might 
be your problem

shortwaves... reminds me of those early rather disturbing cabaret voltaire 
records with chris watson... I think trying the distortion and input output 
hacks and every type of feedback will be bound to reveal something 
interesting... sequencing the input levels and filter levels and feedback 
amounts is also be possible

a whole little world of possibilties there I think! have fun

yeah, i finally figured it out...since there's so much background
sound (i'm tuning in between stations) it was registering the change
in dynamics to be a trigger...i found if i turned the volume knob to
just above 'on' (as in barely any volume) then the evolver was able to
register the difference in dynamic and seemed to work.  i just wanted
a real world random generator and i use shortwave quite abit.  we'll
see if i can do anything interesting with it.  thanx for you hep :)

If you get something you like you should post a
sample, it seems interesting...thanks.

I toyed around with the Evolvers inputs a little today. Some Stylus drum 
loops triggering the envelope follower and peak detector, thus modulating 
filters, pulse width and various other destinations. The vocals (from 
www.nin.com) go through the Evo too. Not a finished track, some experiments 
only:
