Now THAT was great!
Truly an instrument!
Brilliant demo , Nyle is quite a player too and clearly a master of the EVI – But that presenter, good God woman – SHUT UP and stop interrupting him !!!!!!!!!!
I’m with you on that.
Oh the pain!! Oh the annoying pain!!!
But damn Nyle mastered that thing. Incredible!!
Awesome!!
Where can you buy one? New or used..
Wow. THAT is more like what I keep hoping to hear from Eigenharps and other non-traditional controllers. Of course, this is based on the trumpet, so buying one comes with the demand of time in which to master it in a largely traditional fashion. They’re also hand-made, so it’d take a lot of commitment to wait for one to appear. Here’s the skinny.

Nyle’s become a master at his own instrument. Bravo!
I once met him in a store too and he was a really nice and unpretentious fellow.
