Some of the patches in the coming wind controller soundbank for DSI OB6. Made with the NuEVI particulary in mind (used in demo), but it will work great with any wind controller capable of sending channel pressure (aftertouch) for breath control.

NuEVI wind controller collection for OB6, examples

Trying to record something for once. Just playing this patch I did on the modular for my NuEVI. Sawtooth, Z2040 VCF/VCA and Z-DSP Halls of Valhalla (Ginnungagap) for the reverb.

This

Demo of modwheel/footpedal (NuEVI lip sensor) controlled growl by routing a secondary oscillator (triangle) to the VC-FM input of the Z2040 filter. Example with different waveforms from the VCO used for the audio signal – sawtooth, pulse, square

Breath control patch with filter FM growl

This song was made and performed as a wedding gift for Enar and Maria Nordvik.

Demo/comparison of some modular synth voices for wind controller. Reverb is Valhalla Niflheim on TipTop Audio Z-DSP. Sawtooth waveform across the board, with some square wave sub osc on the Micrón. Breath CV from the Kenton treated with some slew for smoothness.

1) Cwejman VCO-6, TipTop Audio Z2040, Kenton MIDI to CV
2) Doepfer A-110-1 VCO, A-106-5 SEM VCF, MA DTA, NuEVI CV direct
3) VCO Maximus (CEM3340), Doepfer A-106-6 XP VCF, NuEVI CV direct
4) Olitronic Micrón synth voice, Kenton MIDI to CV
5) Horn section with 1) and 4) mixed.

EVI modular horn voices demo (Trollmor)

Section 1:

Behringer Neutron, Pitch CV to OSC 1+2 jack, Breath CV to filter FREQ MOD jack, output from VCA jack to external reverb. Oscillator sync patch w. VCA bias to max (no gate).

Section 2:

Growling intervals (audio rate modulation of breath). Pitch CV to Doepfer A-110-1 Standard VCO, Breath CV via MA CVP (for some optional slew to soften attacks) to MA DTA (VCA) and Doepfer A-106-5 SEM filter. (Classic EVI sawtooth horn sound). 

Section 3:

PneuBite portamento demo. Voice here is just a Fonitronic VCO Maximus (CEM3340) and a Doepfer A-106-6 XP VCF, then directly out to reverb. (Sawtooth horn patch.)

Section 4:

Misc horn snippets. Voices from sections 2 & 3.


Reverb is Halls of Valhalla – Niflheim on TipTop Audio Z-DSP

NuEVI Plus CV direct demo

Some breath control patches I made for the Novation Peak. Also demoing new the block chord harmonization feature of the NuEVI. Just crappy random playing.

Peak Breath Control Patches Mono And Poly

Some more breath control patches I made for the Novation Peak. I'd say it's THE analog/hybrid poly to get for EWI/EVI. So smooth, so powerful and so expressive! (All chord playing in the demo except for on the last patch is done using the PolyPlay functions of the NuEVI/NuRAD.)

Peak BR Demo 2

Comparing breath response over MIDI (CC#2, 3ms interval) and CV (NuEVI Plus/CV w. attenuation of signal to +5V level). No problem at all to modulate the filter by humming using the CV input of the Peak. MIDI response is incredibly smooth though for regular use with any wind controller.

Peak Breath MIDI vs CV

Recorded through iPhone mic, played using NuEVI controller... but... guess the synth! :)

Saxomaphone Patch

Just playing through some of the 128 patches in my patch collection for Novation Peak (or Summit). Chordal stuff is done with the Poly Play harmonizer of the NuEVI/NuRAD. To purchase this collection, send an email to thenuevi (at) gmail.com for details.
