Evaton Technologies Announces the "RF Nomad: Atomic Shadow Edition" 5U Synth Module

via Evaton Technologies:

"About a year ago, Atomic Shadow (Rod Mitchell) contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in doing a 5U version of the RF Nomad voltage-controlled shortwave receiver module. He then pointed me to his music, and I was blown away. The RF Nomad would be a perfect fit, and so a single one-off prototype of the RF Nomad was hand-made into a 5U format, and christened "RF Nomad: Atomic Shadow Edition."

That module now resides in the Command Center, and is part of Atomic Shadow's secret lair.

( RF Nomad: Atomic Shadow Edition, operated by its namesake, in the Command Center. )

The RF Nomad: Atomic Shadow Edition (RFN:ASE) is going to be made into a short production run, the number of which is to be determined by interest expressed on the Evaton Technologies 5U signup form. If you are interested in purchasing the RFN:ASE when it becomes available, or you know someone who might be interested, please have them sign up. http://www.evatontechnologies.com/5u-signup

Current Status
At present, several things are under development - An adapter board is being designed to allow a Eurorack version of the RF Nomad printed circuit board to be used in 5U format. This will be a high quality PCB with both Dot Com and MOTM power connectors available, and circuitry to correct the voltage levels as required by the Eurorack circuit. (This is how the original prototype was made, and has been in service at Atomic Shadow's Command Center for the past year.)

Also, a mechanical dimensioned drawing of the faceplate is underway, to be fabricated using the popular Metalphoto™ process. Artwork will be very similar to that shown in the attached photo of the prototype, and will include the "Atomic Shadow Edition" logo at the top of the panel!

The original prototype RFN:ASE used genuine vintage 1970's knobs. While I have located a possible source for those exact knobs, the lead times are horrible. I have found some similar knobs which are readily available and are also quite attractive.

Here is that similar knob, shown installed on a Synthesizers.com Q109, for scale:

A test bench is needed in order to perform final QA testing on the RFN:ASE, and so this little beauty was constructed this weekend. Note the empty slot, reserved for the RF Nomad: Atomic Shadow Edition!

Availability and Pricing
The RF Nomad: Atomic Shadow is expected to be available this winter. Pricing is yet TBD, but as a ballpark, probably around $250-275, depending on final costs.

In addition to the module, a length of antenna coax cable will be included, and a small, but high quality receiving antenna. The antenna connection will be made via a standard SO-239 socket on the front of the module, which means that the RFN:ASE will be compatible with commerically-available shortwave / ham radio receiving antennas and accessories.

Update: RF Nomad Testing 1,2,3... by Atomic Shadow:


"This track was composed entirely from sounds generated by the RF Nomad module from Evaton Technologies. EQ, reverb and delay were added during mixing. The RF Nomad is a voltage controlled shortwave radio module. The tuning frequency can be swept with an LFO or other voltage sources to produce unique textures. Many thanks to Russ Hoffman for agreeing to produce this (so far), one of a kind, MU sized version."

Altair 231 demo tracks

Published on Nov 8, 2015 Guseyn G

"The entire EP was recorded exclusively with Altair 231 including drums and percussion.
Altair 231 is a direct Soviet copy of the original Minimoog Model D first revision. It is known to be more stable than the original Mini.

Altavox - Mooncheese EP
Tracklist:
1 - Module 110
2 - Lunokhod 147
3 - 9.8 m/s (2)
4 - 6.022*10 (23)
5 - Altered signal

In case anyone is interested I am currently selling this exact Altair which was used for recording this EP and which is on the cover.
It comes fully maintained with the midi mod for controlling VCF via DAW/sequencer and most of the original knobs have been replaced with a more smooth moog type ones which allow for a much better control than the original ones."

ARP SOLUS Vintage Analog Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Arp Solus in very good condition. Normal wear and tear, but exceptionally clean for a unit that is 35 years old. I am the original purchaser of this unit. It was serviced last year by a nationally recognized vintage synth tech. The unit has been updated to the last factory spec released for the Solus model. All functions are working at full factory spec, although the CV, Trig, and Gate I/O has not been tested by me personally. Sliders all working, although several can be somewhat stiff until they have been worked in for a bit. All keys respond as new. Like most analog synths it takes a few minutes to warm up. Much, if not all of the original documentation is included with the unit, operation manual, tablet to record patches, Arp users list, and list of Arp representatives in the US.

Specs: The Solus is a 2 VCO, monophonic analog synthesizer with a 3-octave, 37-note (C-C) keyboard. It, like most ARP synths, features mostly sliders instead of knobs. It was built into a flight-case, with all of its inputs and outputs on the inside of the case lid.
Both VCO's feature a slider selecting variable waveforms from sawtooth to pulse, as well as a slider controlling pulse-width and the amount of pulse-width modulation. VCO2 is syncable to VCO1 and can be detuned. The pulse-width can be modulated by the LFO or the ADSR. The VCF (four-pole, lowpass filter) has controls for frequency, resonance, as well as three sliders controlling modulation amount from the keyboard, the LFO, and the ADSR. It also features a digital ring-modulator and a pitch-bend knob. The back panel features interfaces (in and out) for CV, Gate, and Trig. Also in the top panel is a footpedal input and External Audio input, as well as high and low outputs.

There is a small piece of reflective tape marking the correct output for the road crew. I thought it best not to remove it after all these years. You will not find a sweeter, more complete and original Solus than this unit. It’s a great unit but needs a new home with someone that has the time to play and appreciate it."

The track is very laid back, working around just one chord.. I stumbled a couple of times on this set due to minimal preparation and no rehearsals (plus some really crappy playing at times).. but still it was great fun, hope you can enjoy it!
