NuEVI, NuRAD, Wind Synth Moog Model D Sounds - Mark Steiner

Published on Feb 18, 2019 Mark Steiner

"NuEVI, NuRAD, Wind Synth Moog Model D iOS Collection

135 analog style sounds on the iPad Model D app. Best sounding/responding analog style app there is!

$95 - to order email me at monkeydrums@hotmail.com

***** AND.... Life time, full access to all my released sound collections (past and present) will soon be awarded to 2 people.

Today I sent out the update to my NuEVI/Wind Synth collection for Moog Model D iPad APP, which brought the sound count to 135 and added 2 extra variation banks so you can have all those sounds with half the effects mix, or totally dry (so you may more easily use your own effects). There are also poly-mode patches added to the collection.
This collection is for the VERY best analog style iPad App for wind synthesis. The smoothest attacks and warmest sound I have found. Makes sense it was officially made by Moog. Even can respond to high resolution midi.

The collection is $95.

From now through March 4th, any who purchase the Model D collection, or my Arturia SEM V Plugin collection, will be entered into a drawing to get all the sounds I ever release for no additional charge for life (your life, not mine).

Good chance it will be a VERY small group to draw from, so your chances may be quite good. Small, niche group and many already have these.

To be sure I give proper love to those who already have purchased these from me, I’ll do another drawing from them and award a 2nd such life-time membership.

Thank you all for bringing wonderful music into our world!

NuEVI wireless playing SE-02 - new Gate Hold feature - Mark Steiner

Published on Aug 12, 2018 Mark Steiner

"Playing the SE-02 wirelessly and testing out new beta of Gate Hold mode on the NuEVI using standard resolution midi. It's the smoothest I have ever felt playing an analog unit via standard midi with breath control (with no analog slew on the end). So exploring ways to bring these types of tones in a more fluid way to others. This also smoothens any synth voice that doesn't need the attack tracked for effects or attack sound (like the bow attack of a violin).

You can do this on other wind synths manually by setting zero as though you are very slightly blowing when you really are not. This has been confirmed on the standard Steiner Midi EVI by Don Cagen with an Oberheim Xpander.

But you could also with EWI's that allow zero threshold changes (or those that don't if you ask secret agent, Ingo how).

As this doesn't work for all instruments, it's likely more for studio than live, which is why Johan has placed this feature easily switchable in the NuEVI. This approach was Johan's idea in the first place and it's truly amazing.

Also this video shows how to get smoother LFO by using XMod on the SE-02.

For NuEVI info and wait list: TheNuEVI@gmail.com

Once the update for the NuEVI is released, to turn on Gate Hold, hold the EVI like a doorknob, specifically touching the bottom 3 octave rollers and the canister button, and then tapping the pitch bend up sensor. To turn off... same except tap the pitch bend down sensor.

Some synths can do this, but it's absolutely smoother setting it up on the controller side instead of the synth or sound source side. At least to a large extent due to the fact that the controller will always send note changes via midi instantly, whether you are blowing yet or not."

Informal NuEVI/SE-02 Testing - Mark Steiner

Published on Aug 8, 2018 Mark Steiner

"NuEVI and SE-02 informal testing and trying an attack smoothening approach.

I set the breath threashold above zero slightly... so notes are always on or gated, even when not blowing. This made the midi to the analog module even more smooth than always having the gate on, on the module side. At lease partly due to every note change getting faster to the module, long before the attack.

This setting doesn't work with more complex tones and synth types like physical modeling and others. It did also smoothen better the Logic synth ES2 plugin."

NuEVI Feels Like - by Nyle Steiner and Mark Steiner

Published on Aug 5, 2018 Mark Steiner

"How does it feel to play the NuEVI?

For wait list and info, email: TheNuEVI@gmail.com.

NuEVI created by Johan Berglund of Berglund Instruments in Sweden.
EVI invented by Nyle Steiner.
Save the EVI movement successfully realized and driven by Steve Anderson.

Jason, my 12 year old son asked why we were doing such a strange thing in this video. I told him it was just a stunt. He said, quite seriously, "that's really not a stunt, Dad, that's just screwing around."

A little bit distorted by youtube compression, but not as badly as often can be for an isolated saw wave sound. Doing this video I did tests and learned that their compression doesn't distort a pulse width modulated square wave. And that both are far less distorted if you pan them at about 6% (or more but I did 6%) away from center. So happy find. Thank you for listening!

Setup: NuEVI midi to CV.OCD converter to Doepfer Slew on breath, controlling a Manhatten Analog - Nyle Steiner Synthesystem Filter, which is filtering a Pittsburgh Modular VCO, which goes through Valhalla Hall reverb. A journey of human to digital to analog through digital... all used to strengthen each other."

Mixing and Matching Synth Videos

Byron from zero11zero wrote in to let me know he was watching the AX80 video below when he decided to launch the S-CAT video below it, both posted earlier on the same page here. They went well together. He then started a third NuEVI video (also below) and it all came together. He said it reminded him of something that might have been on The Orb's first album. He asked me if I posted them up in order on purpose. Unfortunately I can't claim such brilliance, but I have definitely experienced it in the past while parsing and posting videos. I'll play something and accidentally start something else, thinking, wow this amazingly complex for what I'm seeing, only to realize that another video is playing along with it. Anyway, I thought I'd share this one with you all.  Start the first video, wait for it to pick up in volume and then launch the second, followed by the third shortly after.  You might need to pause and start the individual videos to get the timing to work, but it should come together. You can even adjust the "mix levels" with the speaker controls on the bottom left of the players. It's pretty damn cool.

NuEVI Wireless Option - Mark Steiner

Published on Jun 26, 2018 Mark Steiner

"Stunts performed on this video will void the warranty. We all know Don Cagen played EVI to a live dolphin show, so the only way to beat that was to play a wireless NuEVI while riding a dolphin.

There is now an option to have ultra fast wireless midi with the NuEVI. It's built right in and uses the same battery power already there.

This demo gets irresponsibly intense near the end. Viewer discretion is advised. The stunts performed

Special thanks to my technician/assistant, Christa Steiner."

NuEVI playing MicroBrute - Mark Steiner

Published on Jun 10, 2018 Mark Steiner

"NuEVI from Berglund Instruments playing Arturia's MicroBrute directly via midi. I'm also working on fully patched modular sounds, MatrixBrute and Roland SE-02 demo videos with the NuEVI (coming soon).

With the latest update for the MicroBrute, the pitch bend and mod wheel midi no longer interfere (caused bad zippering sounds). Before this, midi control from a wind synth didn't sound very good (CV was GREAT though).

Now is sounds very smooth and great for a wind synth. You must drive the filter using the mod wheel, as the MicroBrute has very limited midi in. Sadly, exposing analog tones like this on Youtube does tend to add a little distortion at times, but you still get a good idea of the amazing tone this synth can get...in a fully clean way.

But it's a very inexpensive true VCO Analog Synth and has a Nyle Steiner filter. It sounds great.

Mark & Nyle Steiner - NuEVI from Berglund Instruments - Day One

Published on May 31, 2018 Mark Steiner

"Nyle Steiner, virtuoso and inventor of the EVI, day one with the NuEVI. Video of his first in-person impressions, testing and lots of playing. Nyle has given his full blessing to this great instrument's creation and has assisted as an official consultant.

It was a special and legendary experience to recently deliver to Nyle his own NuEVI... which came all the way from the brilliant programmer/designer/musician, Johan Berglund in Sweden.

We talked, tested and explored, and playing the instrument was so engaging, we kept getting distracted and just enjoyed the music... so there is a lot to see and hear. The date was 5/23/2018.

Thank you, Steve Anderson for starting the 'Save the EVI' movement and to Johan Berglund for creating this amazing instrument... the NuEVI."
