New Evaton Technologies AModulator - Time Lapse Build

video upload by fiN Studios

You can find build pics and a full write-up at https://finstudios.com/evaton-technologies-amodulator-diy-build/.

And the AModulator kit on Evaton's website here: https://www.evatontechnologies.com/amodulator.

Video description:

"The Evaton Technologies AModulator SDIY kit is a companion module to the RF Nomad voltage-controlled shortwave receiver. Available ONLY in DIY form, the AModulator is a crude RF amplitude modulator that produces a micro power radio-frequency signal which the RF Nomad can decode.

Simply put, the AModulator allows you to encode any audio signal into an amplitude modulated RF signal, which the RF Nomad can then decode back to audio, with all the delicious artifacts of vintage shortwave sound. Because the RF Nomad is a single sideband decoder, the decoded audio can also be frequency-shifted, simply by tuning slightly off-frequency.

Check out our latest time lapse build video and if you would like to learn more about the Evaton AModulator module, head on over to https://finstudios.com for more details.

"The AModulator ships as two printed circuit boards: One is the electronics, and the other serves as both the faceplate and touchplate emitter. You can "play" the AModulator by pressing on the touch area to affect the signal."

RF Nomad Demo [Episode 182]

Published on Sep 17, 2019 CatSynth TV

"We explore the RF Nomad module from Evaton Technologies. The RF Nomad generates sound from shortwave radio input. There is no filtering or locking on the incoming shortwave radio signal, so there is a lot of noise, heterodynes and other elements along with the occasional actual station. The real fun comes when you use the CV in to modulate the tuning, even at audio rate.

For more information, please visit https://www.evatontechnologies.com/rf...

0:15 Basic Operation
1:37 Modulating the CV input for tuning from an E350 Morphing Terrarium oscillator
2:22 Running the output of the modulated EF Nomad through the Strymon Magneto tape delay for noise eerie effects

"The RF Nomad adds the squealy, squelchy, noisy, unpredictable vintage sounds of shortwave radio to your modular. But this is no ordinary shortwave; it's been designed to be extra noisy, extra squealy, extra gritty, and just downright nasty. No built-in output filtering means that a rich spectrum of harmonic content is available on the audio output jack. Audio levels can be driven to distortion. CV control lets you add your own creative spin on sound design."

"The RF Nomad brings sideband shortwave radio into Eurorack! This module is a great noise source and strange audio generator. There are tends to be dead spots but once you find something it is almost always interesting and can reach really far! This module is in great shape with just some rack rash and includes a short antenna. It is advised to find the longest antenna possible for the best results!"

Shortwave eurorack techno drone with RF Nomad

Published on Dec 6, 2018 While We Were Sleeping

"Using the eurorack RF Nomad by Evaton Technologies a Shortwave Eurorack Receiver, to spice up a techno/drone Jam,
This was recorded a while back (facebook live) and was one of my first jams with the Malekko Heavy Industry voltage block. I got stuck on a single channel single step because that was as much fun as I could handle at the time :) The voltage block is controlling the Fonitronik Thomas Henry 555 VCO with no filter or vca, just raw oscillator goodness.
Both the RF Nomad and the TH 555 are DIY builds from Thonk

Broken radio - RF Nomad and a random antenna

Published on Apr 15, 2017 Andor Polgár

"This time I 'cheated' a little bit - I had recorded the sounds the night before I recorded this video. I planned to make the video along with the performance, but in the daytime here in Haarlem I couldn't find any radio stations, only static noise.

The signal path: Antenna - Evaton Technologies RF Nomad - Analogue Solution Telemark band pass filter - Mutable Instrument Clouds"

Noise Reap Bermuda Eurorack VCO Demo

Published on Dec 23, 2016 FatSynthDude

"I made this one with the focus being on the pair of Noise Reap Bermuda's I received today. These are fairly simple triangle-core oscillators with triangle, sine, and pulse wave outputs. What makes them different from other VCO's is that there's a control onboard to route the triangle wave back into the core. It's a simple trick that a lot of oscillators can do already with some self-patching, but it's neat that it's a built-in modulation here with a built-in attenuator. For those that have never tried feeding an oscillator back into itself, this results in distortions in the waveform. It's a trick that a lot of people forget exists, so it's handy to have a dedicated knob for it. The other special feature is the price. These are only $65 each. In my brief experience with them so far, they're fairly stable and track CV very well. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison to my other oscillators yet, but it will be interesting to see how they compete against the more expensive ones. Regardless of how well they compare, I'd say they're worth the phenomenally low price.

So for this composition, the Bermudas handle the bass synth and the lead synth. The Bassier one is ran through the 4075 and the lead goes through the Polivoks filter.

Whaleseq/1812 [3U Eurorack/Monome Grid/White Whale]

Published on Apr 29, 2016 S. B. Arweiler

"PATCH NOTES:
The whole patch is controlled by the Monome White Whale with one CV channel controlling the Mutable Instruments Braids in WMAP mode, and the second CV channel controlling the Mutable Instruments Rings. One gate channel of the White Whale triggers the Tip Top BD808 bass drum, the second gate channel triggers an envelope which controls Braids's output through a MakeNoise Optomix. Another gate channel triggers Strum on the Rings. The fourth gate channel triggers the Reset of the MusicThing RadioMusic, which plays a one note guitar chord sample which then again is being sent through the Mutable Instruments Clouds. Intellijel Quadra LFOs do some modulation on Braids and Rings, and the Evaton Technologies RF Nomad through the second OptoMix channel provides some noisy percussion.

Gear used:
- 3U Eurorack modular with
* Evaton Technologies RF Nomad
* Mutable Instruments Clouds
* Monome White Whale (+ Switch)
* MusicThing RadioMusic
* Mutable Instruments Rings
* TipTop BD808
* MakeNoise OptoMix
* Mutable Instruments Braids
* Intellijel Quadra
* Manhattan Analog Mix
- Monome Grid 128 w/ White Whale module
- Electro-Harmonix Cathedral

Breathe/The Little Things [Eurorack Modular Ambient]

Published on Mar 25, 2016 S. B. Arweiler

"Ambient eurorack performance in two parts.

PATCH NOTES:
In both parts a glockenspiel sample is played from the MusicThing RadioMusic into Mutable Instruments Clouds. Reset on the RadioMusic is triggered by a channel on the TipTop Circadian Rhythms. On a second RadioMusic a sample of water drops is played for background atmosphere. Clouds is triggered by an ALM Pamela’s Workout channel in Euclidean mode. Clouds’ Size parameter is being modulated by MakeNoise Maths channel 1, Texture on Clouds is being modulated by the QuBit Nano Rand. Evaton Technologies RF Nomad is used as a noise source for some clicky percussion through MakeNoise Optomix triggered by a CR channel.

In part 1 (“Breathe”) Braids in WTX4 mode is sequence by MakeNoise Pressure Points/Brains. The PP/Brains combo is clocked by a channel on the Circadian Rhythms. Presets on the CR are switched manually. The bass drum is the TipTop BD808 that’s triggered from the same channel as the clock for PP/Brains.

In part 2 (“The Little Things”) the bass line is sequenced by the second CV channel of the PP/Brains combo. The bass line is the MakeNoise STO variable shape output played through a Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter. The lead melody is the Mutable Instruments Rings that is sequenced by the MakeNoise René in Snake Mode, which gets its clock from a CR channel. Some slight modulation for vibrato effects for Rings is provided by the four pressure outs on the second Pressure Points. The cymbal is the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteratis that is triggered by another CR channel.

Some reverb and delay added in the mixer with the EHX Cathedral and EHX Deluxe Memory Boy pedals.

Also, my new album "Feldrausch" is out today, and it sounds *nothing* like the tracks I posted recently on this channel. But if you're in noise and drone, check it out:

RF Nomad: Atomic Shadow Edition Available March 2016

"The wait is nearly over! The finalized aluminum RF Nomad Atomic Shadow Edition faceplates recently arrived from the sheetmetal vendor, and they look fantastic! Only a few more components remain to arrive before the first batch of 5U RF Nomad modules will begin to roll off the assembly line.

Each RF Nomad: Atomic Shadow Edition module will be hand-built and individually calibrated and tested by Evaton Technologies' founder, engineer, and chief bottle-washer: Russ Hoffman.

There is an email list signup sheet at www.evatontechnologies.com/5u-signup for folks interested in purchasing the RF Nomad Atomic Shadow Edition module when it becomes available.

Once modules are available to ship, I will send out another emailing to announce the finalized price and payment options.

The final module will include a length of coax cable with PL-259 connections on each end, and a hand crafted dipole antenna suitable for indoor installation. By using standard RF connectors, third-party outdoor antennas can also be used, for increased reception.

I'm looking forward to shipping a great product, and also to seeing what music all of you will create with it.

Acknowledgements

I'd like to thank Rod Mitchell (Atomic Shadow (www.atomicshadow.com)), Consulting Artist on this project, for all his input, inspiration, and encouragement. Rod's been twisting my arm to make some more modules in 'Man-Sized' 5U format, as he calls it. His efforts on that front may have succeeded; stay tuned!

Cheers,

"Ambient soundscape. This recording uses a wide Stereo image, so listening on headphones might be a good idea.

Patch notes (not complete):
Mutable Instruments Braids in WTX4 mode goes through the 4ms SMR which is CV controlled by several envelopes (Intellijel Quadra and Make Noise Maths and Function) and a MusicThing Turing-Machine sequence . Both outs of the SMR go into Mutable Instruments Clouds in granular mode.

Evaton Technologies RF Nomad goes through a Make Noise Optomix which is plucked by a gate from Maths for some noisy percussion. Some additional percussion by Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteratis through a Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter.

A rain sample played on one MusicThing Radio Music goes through the Pittsburgh Modular Filter and via Doepfer A-138d through the Electro-Harmonix POG2 and then through the Make Noise Erbe-Verb.

The second Radio Music provides some sampled chords in the second part of the recording.

Master clock and lots of triggers by Tiptop Circadian Rhythms; even more triggers by ALM Pamela’s Workout in Euclidean Mode. Several envelopes and LFOs by Make Noise Maths and Function, Intellijel Quadra, and Pittsburgh Bender. Also: Lots more utilities and VCAs, sequencing by Make Noise René, Brains + Pressure Points, and Turing Machine. Some manual modulation via two Pressure Points and Circadian Rhythms.

Gear used:
- Eurorack modular
- Pedals: Electro-Harmonix Cathedral, Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy, Electro-Harmonix POG2

Evaton Technologies CLX Dual Eurorack Clock Module Demo

Published on Feb 26, 2016 mylarmelodies

"Skip to 3:26 for demos! From the chap who brought you the RF Nomad, this is the Evaton Technologies CLX dual master clock module. It frees you up from using your precious precious LFO's just for the purpose of firing off your sequencers and so on, but it can do a heck of a lot more than that, courtesy of its two nifty Logic outputs. It's also a dual bass drone oscillator, and you can make polyrhythms and explore other curious interactions when you integrate its four outputs more deeply into a patch. More info and ordering deets are here, friend: http://www.evatontechnologies.com/clx"

Kite Strings

Published on Feb 14, 2016 S. B. Arweiler

"Samplr on iPad and 12U (well, actually 12,5U) of eurorack.

Samplr plays some acoustic guitar samples that I’ve sampled before.

The thunderstorm sounds are being controlled with the MakeNoise Pressure Points on the right hand side. The Pressure Points trigger and the 3 CVs go to the Basimilus Iteratis which goes through a Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter. The filter cut-off is modulated with the pressure out of the left hand Pressure Points. All this receives some heavy reverb and delay treatment in the mixer from EHX Cathedral and Deluxe Memory Boy.

The main melody is the Mutable Instruments Braids in WTBL mode, sequenced by a MusicThing Turing Machine. Also, there’s radio noise from the Evaton Technologies RF Nomad that passes through an Opto Mix and an Erbe-Verb. Some voice samples from the MusicThing Radio Music are being sent through Mutable Instruments Clouds in Spectral Madness mode. Some CV sequencing courtesy of René. TipTop Circadian Rhythms is the master clock, clocks ALM Pamela’s Workout (Euclidian firmware), and triggers lots of stuff.

Gear used:
- Eurorack modular
- iPad w/ Samplr app
- MFB Urzwerg Pro Mk II sequencer
- Pedals: Electro-Harmonix Cathedral, Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy

Slow Light Theory

Published on Jan 15, 2016 S. B. Arweiler

"Ambient eurorack jam

The main chord is a sample played by the MusicThing RadioMusic (a single guitar string that was sent through the EHX POG 2 pedal). This sample is sent through the Erbe-Verb with modulation of the size parameter through a sequence playing on Brains/Pressure Points.

MakeNoise STO receives FM modulation from the TipTop Z3000, attenuated by Intellijel uVCA II which is opened by a Intellijel Quadra LFO. René X and Y gates trigger Quadra envelopes for STO and Mutable Instruments Braids, QCV goes to STO 1V/oct, CV goes to Braids 1V/oct. STO is sent through Mutable Instruments Clouds.

Some manual triggering of the Basimilus Iteratis via Pressure Points.

All clocks are provided by TipTop Circadian Rhythms. Evaton Technologies RF Nomad provides some noisy shortwave radio at the end which is modulated by a fast Maths LFO."
