Interesting note about Apocalypse Now:
"Crumar/Steiner - EVI (s/n E1/00248) Electronic Valve Instrument analogue synth, designed by Nyle Steiner of Steiner-Parker fame. This one is manufactured by Crumar, who he started collaborating with in the late 70s. All working well and generally good condition. 220V with UK plug.
VEMIA note: the EVI was responsible for all of the solo melodies on the great soundtrack of Apocalypse Now, among many other major film credits. VEMIA can collect and pack: 12GBP."
"This is the most unique Oberheim Xpander you will ever see and it has quite the history. Yes it is the USA version (the best version) don’t worry.
It was previously owned by Nyle Steiner. Who is that you may ask? We he is a genius inventor who created the EVI / EWI the electronic wind instrument which was later sold to Akai. With that said, Nyle did do some modifications on this Xpander, which I have no idea everything he did. What I could see was that he wired each oscillator to have their own individual 1/4” output which is why there are 6 holes that were cut out the back. I removed this wiring but the holes remained."
"As a gift to the wind controller community, Patchman Music presents this newly restored high quality version of the excellent Video Instruction Manual for the Akai EVI1000, EWI1000, and EWV2000 wind controller system. This wonderful video guide, originally distributed by Akai / IMC Music on VHS tape, is presented by Akai EVI clinician and long time EVI player Sam Zambito and woodwind EWI1000 player J.R. Krisanda. Though released in the late 1980s, this video contains many useful tips that are very much relevant today.

"A Crumar Steiner EVI in the original case. The item came available from the family. As I am not a musician, I cannot test the product. Therefore, the product is ‘sold as described’ / bought in the condition as you can see from the pictures. I see that one of the buttons is missing, I am aware that the mouth piece is also missing And I believe the paint on parts of device was black in the past. Therefore I labelled the condition as ‘fair’. At the same time, the Crumar Steiner remains a rare item and is one remarkable piece from history."
"This listing is for a vintage Steiner Master's Touch which uses the filter and performance features from the Steiner Parker EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument).
This device can be used as a performance breath controller processing audio through its Steiner filter from an external source as well as generating CVs for use with a modular synthesizer.
Supports breath and bite.
The filter on this unit has been modified with an additional knob for wider dynamics."
"Demo of layered new sounds (and then brief solos) that are new additions to my Per Note Sample collection for wind synths.
1 of these is an 8 octave per note sample of Analog Saw Waves played through Nyle Steiner's string filter. Ah, and the VCO happens to be from a Steiner Synthesytem Module.
The other 6 are samples per note from a Crumar EVI.
"rare vintage Steiner Electronic Valve Instrument, manufactured by Crumar. It has just been serviced and tuned by a specialist. The service report is part of the sale.
The EVI is a monophonic analog synthesizer controlled by breath, and styled after a trumpet. If you have the skills to play this instrument you'll be impressed by the filter. It's sounding amazing!
Cosmetically it’s in very good condition. The ‘trumpet’ has very little signs of use, the hardcase has some rusty spots on the metal parts. Please check all the photos before you purchase this item.
It is an original 117v version and the serial number is: 00256"
"For the Holiday season I'm offering my Time Travel Collection (license to all my sound collections future and past). And this will include the new Nyle Steiner Historical Sound Collection. Sounds he sampled himself and used in Hollywood movie sessions and more.
The first 10 orders will also get a sound named after them. Cool or silly but fun for sure!
Cost during the holidays starting now is $250.
I'll very soon have a full list up. But it includes 100 or more sounds for EVI-NER, Lyricon 1 and 2, Arturia SEM V plugin, Moog Model D for iPad, and more...
Also around 30 to 50 sounds for Anyma Phi, Moog Sirin, Arturia MatrixBrute and Respiro (both for plugin and iPad/iPhone app)... A few of my Respiro sounds will also be free to anyone. I may do up to 100 of those but at least 50.
I am also preparing and will ongoing make new sample sounds for Logic and MainStage ($30 application for Mac). These include per-note sample instrument made from analog synths, rare and exotic modules/modular synths, tube synthesis, samples from vintage EVI and EWI modules and all kinds of things.
I would note, the Anyma Phi just had an update and added more oscillator types including multi-dimensionally morphing wave table oscillators that are frosty and glassy and sound unreal. This is one of the most amazing and diverse sounding instruments and made for wind synths. I'm dying over the sounds I continue to discover within. So 100% something to get if you have a chance. Analog in it sounds soooooo good, and then so much unreal digital and physical modeling... all mixable to 3 independently expressive layers. It's a technology creature of wonder. ---fully unpaid testimonial/bought my own unit :)
Anyone who has already bought any of my sounds can upgrade to this bundle during the holidays for $150.
More info coming soon. More videos of new sounds including the Nyle samples (including his Rapping from the EVI Concerto, his own trumpet playing sample instrument, and his own exotic flute sound he carved.)
Most of these are all ready now, the rest will electronically ship by Thanksgiving.
A few parts of this seem a bit odd. At times I like to keep unexpected things from sessions in the videos as they are unusual, interesting, funny, or whatever. This one had a few things rarely caught organically... some gibberish Tourette's that I don't understand a few times (from my brain injury I'm still climbing back from). I thought I'd never share that but it felt right tonight. So it's just a little something that is organic and personal. I was also just pretty out of it in some ways from being up so late, I'm usually this... um... gone lol. Anyway, an interesting little journal entry in a way.

Francis Ford Coppola is into synths? Both the Moog Modular and Steiner EVI were used in the soundtrack for Apocalypse Now. See here for a couple of mentioning the story.
SWITCHED ON - BOB MOOG AND THE SYNTHESIZER REVOLUTION PRE-ORDER
BY ALBERT GLINSKY
PUBLISHED BY OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
FOREWORD BY FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA
The Moog synthesizer "bent the course of music forever" Rolling Stone declared.
Bob Moog, the man who did that bending, was a lovable geek with Einstein hair and pocket protectors. He walked into history in 1964 when his homemade contraption unexpectedly became a sensation---suddenly everyone wanted a Moog. The Beatles, The Doors, The Byrds, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Yes, Stevie Wonder, and many more discovered his synthesizer, and it came to be featured in seminal film scores including A Clockwork Orange and Apocalypse Now . The Moog's game-changing sounds saturated 60's counterculture and burst into the disco party scene in the 70's to set off the electronic dance music movement. Bob had single-handedly founded the synth industry and become a star in the process.
Analogue Realities wrote in to let us
know they have made a trove of Nyle Steiner documentation and images available
on dropbox
via his site.
"Nyle has given me permission to share this with the general public. Please,
please give credit to Nyle whenever you use this information. If you make money
off of his genius and work, please consider sharing something with Nyle. He is
one of the truly nice, gentle, humble, and generous people in this world.
The organization is not the greatest, but I’m sure you’ll have many happy hours
trying to figure out why I put things where they are :) The archive is very big,
more than 4.6 Gbytes so be sure you have room."
P.S. Analogue Realities remade the Steiner Synthasystem. See the
Analogue Realites label
for more.
Pictured left is Nyle Steiner holding his Steiner EVI. The image was also featured back in 2015 from Analogue Realities, on a documentary being made on Nyle Steiner (see this post for the completed film). I thought this would be a great image for a new post on a trove of his historical works.
The 1979 Steiner filter.
The filter was used by YuSynth (featured posts here) and made
its way into Arturia synths starting with the Minibrute designed by Yvves Usson
of YuSynth.
"Very rare wind instrument (Valve) based on an Analog synthesizer equipped with a 'Steiner Parker' filter with resonance.
The instrument works very well. It is sold with its original box, in which it still has been kept.
It has been use very little, only a scratch caused by the plog on the left side and some sign of age on the case"
"Sept 2020, Nyle Steiner, inventor of the EVI, EWI and Rad EWI plays a new model of the "Rad" type EWI, which was created by Johan Berglund of Berglund Instruments. Nyle and his nephew Mark consulted with this project and model. Johan's design is just beautiful and I can say, it plays so very nicely! I truly love it!
In this video we also hear from Michael Brecker about the Rad EWI.
So there was only one Rad EWI made, but now anyone can have one, as Johan hand makes these with love and expertise in Sweden.
Have a look at the Facebook group "Berglund Instruments" for more info.
