evaton technologies RF Nomad User Manual

Introduction

Thanks for purchasing the RF Nomad Eurorack synthesizer
module from Evaton Technologies! The RF Nomad module
allows you to use radio frequency noise and signal sources
as new sonic territory for exploration as audio sources for
your modular synthesizer. The module is a direct-conversion
radio
approximately 9.6 to 10 MHz and decodes the audio as
single sideband.
Various RF noise generators, such as computers, appliances,
etc., as well as shortwave broadcasts and ham radio stations,
can be decoded and used as useful and interesting sound
sources. The RF Nomad's tuning can be varied under voltage
control, allowing LFOs, envelopes, and even audio sources to
modulate the tuning parameter in real time. In short, the RF
Nomad puts those classic squelchy, squealy, hissy sounds of
a shortwave radio into your modular!
