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

"How does it feel to play the NuEVI?

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."
