Mark Steiner - NuRad short clip

Mark Steiner

"Nyle Steiner made a single 'Rad EWI' for Michael Brecker decades ago. Years later, Nyle consulted with Johan Berglund of Berglund Instruments and now Johan's design of the NuRAD is now available and being enjoyed by some pretty great EWI professionals.

For info and to be on a no-pay wait list for the NuRAD, email TheNuEVI@gmail.com.

Here I'm playing Arturia SEM V plugin sounds I made myself layered with other stuff in Logic Pro. I adore this instrument and love playing it! So very expressive."

Nyle Steiner Plays NuRAD for the First Time

Mark Steiner

"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.

"Suonopuro Super Duduk sample instrument for Kontakt. Made for electronic wind instruments.

Purchase at SuonoPuro.net.

Incredibly well, multi-sampled duduk instrument. The best I have played, and I adore the duduk. Thank you, Gino for creating this!

Also, for info and waitlist on the physical midi controller/wind instrument that plays in this video, email TheNuEVI@gmail.com. It is the creation of Johan Berglund, based on Nyle Steiner's EVI.

There is also a woodwind fingered version of that instrument called the NuRAD, which is patterned by Nyle Steiner after the standard EWI he invented (the one in the video is based on trumpet fingering)."

Behringer VC340 No-Ensemble Strings thru Nyle Steiner String Filter - Mark Steiner

Published on Aug 18, 2019 Mark Steiner

"Pure VC340 Saw sound (mod bypasses Ensemble BBD's) through a Nyle Steiner String Filter and then through Valhalla Shimmer. Incredible power here with the 'full' polyphony (all 5 octaves of notes can sound at one time if enough fingers are available) of the VC340.

At one point, the Shimmer is dropped and the sound goes through Valhalla Delay (another amazing plugin). Then near the end we hear the VC340 through the Steiner String Filter with no reverb or delay.

It is way, extremely long. But fun. This is the whole session. So quite archival but jump around and try out some sections.

I adjust the Steiner filter occasionally and a few times put it into it's own LFO mode. It gets a great formant filter sound as it uses 24 band pass filters in parallel. Nyle made about 12 of these.

He developed this while doing the sound track for Apocalypse Now.

One of the synthesists in the synth orchestra used a Moog String Filter and Nyle thought about how he could do a string filter with a more simple circuit and for far less expense.


The one in this recording and image seen is the prototype."

Mangrove Module through Sirin Filter Testing - NuEVI - Mark Steiner

Published on Aug 12, 2019 Mark Steiner

"Raw Video of very initial shape exploring of the Mangrove Module through the Sirin VCF. Breath is changing the wave shape. Occasionally I growl and the CV brings it in. I'm only using the one Eurorack module going in to the Sirin, so imagine all the amazing shape changing you can do with even just a few more modules, even simple utility. I suspect this will sound even cooler when I drive VCA with breath instead of VCF. Just does better with wood wind things that way. Plus the Sirin has a VCA and VCF CV in, so with a Eurorack simple mixer you can send various %'s of VCA and VCF from breath and/or vibrato.... now that is how you do it. All analog here. And not yet even using the Sirin VCO's, which have tricks of their own."

Also it has the 1st showing of playing of my 3rd Artemis instrument I built, The Artemis Amber. It was built for my dear friend, Brent McCorkle.

And also featuring the amazing, NuEVI, made by the genius and good friend, Johan Berglund.

The head-set wind controller was created by Murat Şimşek of MRT Audio in Turkey. He's a great friend and amazing person. He makes beautiful instruments.

So we see the trend here, and I’m humbled to know and work with each of these truly talented and very good men. There are other people as well in this category I know and work with.

I’m very fortunate to know all such. Love you all! Thank you for bringing your music and musical devices to the world."

SE-02 & NuEVI - CV Breath Demo - Mark Steiner

Published on Jul 5, 2019 Mark Steiner

"CV to breath from the Berglund Instruments NuEVI to the Roland / Studio Electronics SE-02. Very smooth and delicate attacks and swells.

For info/wait list on the NuEVI (and the upcoming EWI/woodwind version of it called the NuRAD), email TheNuEVI@gmail.com.

Johan Berglund made the breakout box used here than can bring CV from the NuEVI through both of the unused pins from the midi port.

For this instrument, I find it's best to use CV just for filter (from breath), and midi for other aspects. Also, I found using hybrid breath is best (it's sending CV to filter and also the cf breath setting in the NuEVI to the filter as midi CC). Otherwise, it appears the CV input for the SE-02 requires more than usual CV amounts, and may have some other special situations in the circuit I'm not totally sure on. But this works great!

So... set NuEVI breath to "cf"
2nd breath CV to VCF CV input on the SE-02
Turn the filter cutoff on the SE-02 to zero.
Turn the contour on the SE-02 to zero.
Also good to use gate hold on the NuEVI, especially if you will be playing large intervals."

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!

Moog Model D App - NuEVI & Wind Synth Collection - Mark Steiner

Published on Jan 22, 2019 Mark Steiner

"This collection of 120 sounds are optimized for breath control keyboards and instruments, and especially for the NuEVI made by Berglund Instruments.

Please, email me at monkeydrums@hotmail.com to order. Cost is $95.

After searching a great many apps and plugins, I have found Moog's official "Minimoog Model D App for iPad" to be the VERY best analog modeling app or plugin for breath control. The attacks are just incredible and the sound is gorgeous.

The design lends to some great controls as well, as you can assign multiple destinations for midi CC's. There are also little tricks to find, such as smoothly cross fading different wave shapes with breath and other controls. Very expressive!

You can modulate effects, and you can even crossfade from modulating between LFO and OSC 3. That's where things can start sounding quite modular.

Logic Auto Filter for Breath - Mark Steiner - NuEVI

Published on Jan 2, 2019 Mark Steiner

"Demo of my Logic configuration for using the Logic Auto Filter for breath control... including the needed Script Midi Plugin set up (be sure you have Logic or MainStage up to date):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8pejzopp422...

More info:

Free Gift for Logic/Mainstage users:

The "Auto Filter" free Logic plugin (native to Logic) is so warm and has great attacks with breath control.

Use this on any plug in instrument… just set that instrument to always be loud and bright and let this filter sculpt it. And it’s a stereo filter… so cool.

1st one is my fave: no or little res State Variable Filter.

Note that in 2 & 3 I added in a sample delay that just makes this stereo… since the AutoFilter is a true stereo filter… awesomeness.

There are still ways to tweak and make more smooth or add effects. One way is working with the envelope in the AutoFilter or even in the ES2 or other instrument.

But as is… this is great.

I prefer other 3rd party reverbs that cost but using Space Designer here as it’s part of Logic for free.

To add breath cc or any other control (aftertouch etc.) I am using the native script for plugin control via the midi effect “Scripter”. This all is standard in Logic. I just lucky I stumbled on this filter to use as a breath filter and not an auto filter.

Let me know if you find any cool tricks with this.

Tell me if this file loads fine... it's a whole song save for Logic.

Love you all, Happy New Year!!!
