EXTREMELY RARE! Steiner MIDI EVI Brass Type Wind Controller Custom Modded by Matt Traum - JUST ADDED!

Designed and hand built by the amazing Nyle Steiner (inventor of the EWI and EVI wind controllers), we have an EXTREMELY RARE Steiner MIDI EVI for sale. This horn has been fully checked out and calibrated by Matt Traum at Patchman Music. Matt has completely tested and calibrated this EVI and modded it with upgrades including the updated roller mod and canister ring mod. The new roller mod feels 1000% better than the original rollers with a more solid feel, wider size, and much quieter and smoother action. The canister ring mod allows you to always have your left hand thumb on the ground without having to spin the canister to find the thumb ground post. Also installed are special trimmer labels to help you identify the correct trimmer when you want to make a change to the feel of the instrument. These custom mods, designed and installed by EVI player and wind controller guru Matt Traum, along with the personal calibration of the sensors, make for a very enjoyable playing experience!

This instrument can be powered via an internal 9 volt battery or the included AC wall power supply. Because it can be battery powered, it is possible to play this instrument completely wirelessly with an additional wireless MIDI system such as the recommended Midi Jet Pro MIDI wireless system (not included but available from Patchman Music).

This beautiful MIDI EVI was hand made by Nyle Steiner himself - THE EVI and EWI inventor! This MIDI EVI has also been modified with additional upgrades by wind controller guru Matt Traum including the canister ring mod, higher quality rollers, trimmer labels, complete calibration and testing. This additional custom work by Matt Traum is valued at over $500 alone- and is included in the price!

This Steiner MIDI EVI is in EXCELLENT CONDITION! It looks great and everything is working perfectly. All the sensors respond beautifully as you would expect from a horn that was hand made by none other than the legendary inventor / designer Nyle Steiner himself. Click here for complete info on this amazing instrument. Feel free to email Matt at Patchman Music if you have any questions about how this instrument works or what is required in terms of synths to connect it to. Click here to hear it being played.

Included with this sale is the Nyle Steiner MIDI EVI, an AC power adaptor (in case you don't want to use the built in 9v battery. Battery life on this instrument is exceptional!), and a printed copy of the MIDI EVI Owner's Manual. Since this is simply a MIDI controller, you will need an appropriate MIDI synth or soft synth connected to it to complete the system and make sound. We love, and highly recommend, the used Yamaha VL70-m module upgraded with the Patchman Music TURBO VL upgrade chip located elsewhere on this page as a perfect compact and powerful companion for this instrument. Email Matt at Patchman Music if you also need a recommendation for an appropriate MIDI sound module or soft synth to use with this EVI. Nyle Steiner has not made any of these instruments for many years, so this is your rare chance to get one of these highly collectable instruments, hand made by Steiner himself, which will likely only go up in value in the future. Grab this one NOW while it is still available. This instrument can be shipped to USA destinations only. (Photo is not of actual unit for sale.) A custom hard case MAY be available at extra cost. Email Matt at Patchman Music for details.

Email Matt with any questions and for pricing on this rare Steiner MIDI EVI Brass Style Wind Controller. Payment is via check, cashier's check, or money order only.

UNIQUE Color - Custom Built Yamaha WX5 MIDI Wind Controller - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here is a very special opportunity to really stand out with this unique custom made Yamaha WX5 wind controller built by Matt Traum in the Patchman Music wind controller shop. This instrument has been completely rebuilt and gone over by wind controller guru Matt Traum here at Patchman Music and it looks and plays great! This special WX5 has a unique color scheme that has never been seen before. It features a bottom section in a gorgeous marble blue color with easy to read white lettering. The top pieces are silver and black. Note that this WX5 is different from the rare marble blue WX5 model which has a black top piece. So this one is quite unique and beautiful! Best of all, these colored pieces are NOT messy stickers or painted on. The colors on this instrument are permanent- as they should be. Stickers and painting never work out well in the long run. Stickers get gummy and start to come off over time, and painting breaks down from repeated contact of oils and wear from the hands. There are no problems like that with this instrument.

The FM synthesis method employed in this Yamaha WT-11 FM sound module responds very well to breath.

Click here to read about this amazingly expressive breath controlled soundbank. Michael Brecker and other wind controller players loved the Oberheim sound.

The Matrix-6r was one of the last synthesizers from Oberheim to come out during the mid-1980s following the classic OB-series. The Matrix-6r utilized high-tech but less expensive digital and MIDI features and still retained a totally analog sound. It did this by using DCOs (digitally controlled analog oscillators) to provide stability and programmability. All the Matrix synthesizers featured Matrix Modulation which allows for extremely wild virtual patching for almost unlimited range of sounds and modulation capabilities!

The Matrix-6r is still a very popular synthesizer because it offers access to the legendary sounds and power of the Matrix-12, though not as meaty, but at a fraction of the cost. The Matrix6r is also like the Oberheim Xpander but with only 6 voices of polyphony and slimmer programming. Each of its 6 voices has a pair of digitally controlled analog oscillators, a real analog low pass filter, 2 VCAs, 3 envelope generators, 2 LFOs, and 2 ramp generators for a variety of complex analog leads, pads, basses, and more. The Matrix-6r can be programmed from its front panel and there is a quick and convenient parameter guide printed right on the top of the unit.

This Oberheim Matrix-6r is in EXCELLENT CONDITION with only a small amount of dings and scuffs from normal use. There is a small scuff on the right side of the front panel but it is only cosmetic. This Oberheim Matrix-6r has been well cared for, used only in our studio, never gigged out, and it works and sounds great. It has been fully checked out here at Patchman Music by Matt Traum. Firmware version 2.13 and an internal backup battery clip and battery have been installed. This sale includes the Oberheim Matrix-6r analog synth module, the original printed Owner's Manual, and the AC power cable. The Owner's Manual is also available for free here. (Photo is of the actual unit for sale!) Additional photos are available upon request. Email Matt if you have any questions.

$1695 + $90 shipping/handling/insurance to US destinations only. Optionally, for $60 additional, we can pre-install the Patchman Music Matrix-6r Volume 1 wind controller / breath controller soundbank. Payment via check, cashier's check, or money order only.

Yamaha SB7X Silent Brass System for Trumpet & Cornet - JUST ADDED!

Here is a fantastic like-new Yamaha SB7X Silent Brass System for Trumpet & Cornet. The Yamaha SB7X Silent Brass System allows you or your loved one to practice almost silently through headphones yet with a great sound of a concert hall in the earbuds.

Experience the Evolution of SILENT Brass

Pickup Mute and Personal Studio for Trumpet & Cornet (with Brass Resonance Modeling)

You want to play when and as you like, without being confined to time or place... Yamaha's next generation SILENT Brass makes it happen. The new SILENT Brass consists of a smaller, lighter, freer blowing Pickup Mute, and the Personal Studio, which features Yamaha's exclusive Brass Resonance Modeling. Used together, the two deliver the natural acoustic tone you hear when playing without a mute, making it feel as though you are playing mute free. The Pickup Mute combines a high-performance mute with an internal microphone to pickup sound. Significantly smaller and lighter than previous versions, the mute offers superior muting performance, delivers excellent intonation over a wide pitch range, and natural playability. A new compact design now lets you put your instrument in its case with the mute in the bell.

The SILENT Brass features this unique Yamaha technology which uses the modeling of non-muted brass instruments to correct your instrument's tone when the Pickup Mute is in place. The resulting sound is so realistic, it's hard to tell whether or not the instrument is muted.

External Device Input for Enjoyable, Effective Practice - By connecting to portable audio players or smart phones with audio playback capability, you can play along with your favorite tunes or practice with popular "minus-one" backing tracks. (Stereo mini-to-mini cable sold separately.)

Yamaha MEP4 MIDI Processor with Printed Manual! - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here is a rack mount Yamaha MEP4 MIDI Processor module with a printout of the manual all bound nicely in a three ring binder. The Yamaha MEP-4 MIDI Processor can be thought of as THE "Swiss Army Knife" of MIDI processors. It takes some knowledge of hexidecimal to really get into it, so it may not be for the novice. But since it is user programmable, it is really REALLY powerful! Of course there are lots of setups already in this unit to try out and learn from.

The Yamaha MEP4 is a powerful and highly flexible MIDI event processor. It can be programmed to modify MIDI data in many useful ways that include creating up to four-way keyboard splits, filtering out certain MIDI messages, changing one type of MIDI data into another, and even creating time delay effects. The MEP4 contains four internal processors, which can be routed in any combination to its four programmable outputs. The MEP-4 is a MIDI Event Processor, accepting incoming MIDI data and modifying it to be sent to the MIDI outputs. Four micro processors are included in the unit allowing very flexible MIDI operation. Examples of use would be: split a single keyboard in four ways, independently transposed, MIDI echo, on a different note and sound, connect a drum machine to the MEP4 and play the kick drum with your sustain pedal, accent only strongly played notes with another tone generator, set aftertouch to send pitch bend messages, etc. Other features include up to 60 patches can be programmed - even a 9 character name can be assigned, data presetter functions for patch change of connected instruments at once, channel filtering, message filter, data modifier (as in examples above plus much more) delay processor (echo from 0 - 3000 ms, more), output assigner, 1 x MIDI IN, 4 x independent MIDI OUTs, 1 x MIDI THRU, 16 character backlit LCD. The top cover of the unit even has a very handy overview printed on it for ease of use.

Here is an excellent review of this device from Electronics & Music Maker magazine. Click here to download the PDF version of the Yamaha MEP 4 Owner's Manual.

This Yamaha MEP4 MIDI Processor is in VERY GOOD CONDITION with some cosmetic scratches from normal use, and some "rack rash" around the rack mounting screw holes. The power cord is about 2 feet long (not sure if it was modded or if that's the way it came). It has been tested here at Patchman Music by Matt Traum. It is in full working condition. The LCD display looks great as you can see in the photo. This sale includes this used Yamaha MEP4 MIDI Processor and a printout of the Owner's Manual bound in a three ring binder. Everything has been checked out here at Patchman Music. The Owner's Manual is available here for free download. (Photo is of the actual unit for sale!)

A Very Nice Inexpensive FM Sound Module for the Casio DH-100/DH-200 & others! - Yamaha TX81Z FM Sound Module - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here is a used Yamaha TX81Z FM sound module. The TX81Z uses 4 operator FM synthesis to generate its expressive sound. The TX81Z has several banks of built-in permanent sounds as well as a bank that is user changeable. This module is special because it has a built-in mapper feature which allows it to be used directly with just about any wind controller including the Casio DH-100 / DH-200 and other DH Series wind controllers. It can internally map incoming MIDI aftertouch data (such as sent by a Casio DH-100, DH-200 wind controller) into breath controller data. This means that if you also buy our optional TX81z Volume 3 wind controller soundbank and load it, the TX81z will work perfectly with a Casio DH Series Digital Sax without the need of an external mapper! Of course, if you turn this mapper feature off, it will then work perfectly with a Yamaha WX7, WX11, WX5, Akai EWI4000s, EWI5000, EWI1000, EWI3000, EWI3020, NuEVI/NuRAD, MIDI EVI, MDT, or any other wind controller that sends MIDI breath controller data (MIDI CC#2). The sounds in the Patchman Music TX81Z Volume 3 soundbank are very similar to the sounds we did for the WT11 except that there are no built-in effects in the TX81Z. We suggest adding an external effects box to add some depth to the sound. We may have some effects processors available for sale (Email Matt if you would also like to buy an effects box). Details and audio demos of the Patchman Music TX81Z soundbanks are here so that you can hear what this module can sound like when played with a wind controller.

This Yamaha TX81z MIDI synth module is in GOOD CONDITION with a moderate amount of scratches, scuffs, and marks. There are scratches and bends on the rack ears from previous rack mounting, but this is just cosmetic. This TX81z has been updated to the latest release of the firmware which is v1.6. It has been checked out in the Patchman Music shop and it works great. The little plastic pull out card under the module is still present with this unit.

This sale includes the TX81Z MIDI sound module with power cord. The Owner's Manual is available in PDF format here for free download. When loaded with our TX81z Volume 3 wind controller soundbank, this MIDI synth module offers an inexpensive way to get more sounds from your wind controller. Grab it while it's still available! (Photo is of actual unit for sale. Email Matt if you would like to see a larger photo.)

Very Hard To Find! - Yamaha BT7 Wind Controller Battery Pack MIDI Adaptor! - PRICE REDUCED!!!

This Yamaha BT7 belt pack adds several useful features to the Yamaha WX7, WX11 and WX5. First, it provides power to the WX7/WX11/WX5 by way of either 6 internal AA batteries or an optional AC adaptor. Second, it provides a MIDI OUT connector so you can use the WX7/11/5 to control any MIDI synth via MIDI. Without the BT7 you would need to plug the WX7/11/5 into a device featuring a WX input jack such as the WT11, VL70-m, or MFC10. The Yamaha BT7 also will allow WX7 and WX11 owners the ability to GO WIRELESS by adding the Midi Jet Pro USB wireless MIDI system! It features a power switch, MIDI OUT jack, a 10-12v DC input connector for use with an optional AC adaptor (Yamaha model PA-130, PA-1, PA-1B, or PA-3c - not included but available here), and a 4.5 foot connector cable which connects to the WX11, WX7 or WX5. WX5 owners don't really need this device since the WX5 can already run on batteries.

This BT7 is in EXCELLENT CONDITION except that it is missing the belt loop on the cover. It has been fully checked out here at Patchman Music and it works great. The battery terminals are in very good condition. This sale includes the Yamaha BT7, the leather-like outer pouch (missing the belt loop), and a printed copy of the manual. Let us know when you order if you also want the optional PA130 AC power adaptor ($20 extra). The BT7 is extremely hard to find- so grab it while you can. (Photo is not of actual unit for sale.)

Very Hard To Find! - Yamaha BT7 Wind Controller MIDI Adapter Pack! - PRICE REDUCED!!!

This particular Yamaha BT7 belt pack allows you to use a Yamaha WX7, WX11 with a MIDI synth or MIDI sound module or connect to a MIDI interface on your computer. It provides power to the WX7/WX11 by way of the included AC wall power adapter. In turn, it provides a MIDI OUT connector so you can use the WX7/WX11 to control a MIDI synth via a standard MIDI cable. Without the BT7 you would need to plug the WX7/WX11 into a device featuring a WX input jack such as the WT11, VL70-m, or MFC10. It features a power switch, MIDI OUT jack, a 10-12v DC input connector for use with the included AC adaptor (Yamaha model PA-130, PA-1, PA-1B, or PA-3c), and a 4.5 foot connector cable which connects to the WX11/WX7. (WX5 owners don't really need this device since the WX5 can run on batteries and has a MIDI OUT.)

This BT7 is in GOOD WORKING CONDITION except for the battery function. The battery terminals were severely corroded on this unit and they had to be removed. The battery cover/lid was also very corroded and was trashed and is not included. So this BT7 only works with an AC wall power adapter which is included. The top outer leather-like covering has a significant tear in the top so you might want to sew a patch of material onto it. If you know someone who sews, they could easily fix the top tear. This unit has been fully checked out here at Patchman Music and it works great with the included AC wall power adapter. It functions as a MIDI adaptor for the WX7 and WX11 so that they can be connected to various MIDI devices. Email Matt if you have any questions.

This sale includes the Yamaha BT7 (missing the battery terminals and battery lid), the leather-like outer pouch and belt hook (with a tear in the top), the AC wall adapter power supply, and a copy of the printed manual. The BT7 is extremely hard to find- so grab it while you can. (Photo is of the actual unit for sale.)

EXTREMELY RARE!! Fully Refurbished Casio DH-500 Digital Horn! - PRICE REDUCED!!!

We have available this extremely rare CASIO DH-500 fully refurbished and updated electronically here at Patchman Music.

This model DH horn was never released in the USA and is very rare and collectable. It was probably only available in Japan- and for only a short amount of time. This model Casio DH horn is more of a pro-level type instrument with more keys, better sounds, built-in reverb, and an overall better feel than the other cheaper models. With that in mind and the fact it retains the built-in speaker and battery power along with decent MIDI capabilities makes it a very unique wind controller.

This horn has 100% been gone over in the shop here at Patchman Music by Matt Traum in our Patchman Music wind controller shop and it works great! This horn has had a major circuit upgrade to the electronics done here at Patchman Music by wind controller guru/tech Matt Traum which is a $325 shop repair included in the price!

The Casio DH-500 is the top of the line Casio DH horn. It is the best model they ever made by far. Compared to the other Casio DH models, the DH-500 features more keys so fingering is a bit more versatile. Upgraded features compared to the DH-100/200 are: 11 keys (instead of 9- the DH-500 has an added Eb key on the right hand and a B key on the left hand), 2 octave keys (there is an octave up key AND an octave down key so it has an extended range- all the other Casio DH models have just one octave key), much more positive keywork/action (the feel of the keys is "tighter and more solid"), user-adjustable breath-sensitivity and pitch fine-tuning, a vibrato on/off switch, digital reverb built-in, a knob for setting the Reverb effect level, a slide switch to select the sound, transpose up and transpose down buttons with an LED bar graph visual indicator of the selected transpose setting, standard 5 pin MIDI OUT jack. Also the 6 built-in sounds seem to be of a higher quality compared to the cheaper Casio DH-100 and DH-200 models.

This horn is in VERY GOOD condition with just a moderate amount of dings and scratches from normal use. Everything has been tested here at Patchman Music by Matt Traum and it all works GREAT!

This sale includes the Casio DH-500 (includes the custom $325 electronics upgrade!!), mouthpiece, a brand new wall adapter (a $30.99 value), and a PDF copy of the manual emailed to you. Here is your chance to own a very rare wind controller. If you are interested, don't delay. This super-rare collector's instrument will not be here long! (Photo is not of actual unit.) Email Matt if you have any questions.

Yamaha EZ-TP Electronic Trumpet - PRICE REDUCED!!!

A Star Trek Trumpet? A trumpet from the future? The EZ Series "singing trumpet" is a digital entertainment instrument played by singing or humming into the instrument. The EZ-TP was available for a short time in Japan, but was never released in the USA. It senses your humming then uses that information to select the mode / octave you are fingering in. It has 22 built in sounds with stereo reverb, a MIDIfile player, and a built in amp and speaker! Players simply sing into the mouthpiece and the trumpet automatically detects the pitch and volume of the player's voice to create trumpet sounds. The trumpet is a difficult instrument to learn, but now anyone can easily play it. Players can sing or hum melodies into the mouthpiece with the accompaniment of preset songs to enjoy a karaoke-like experience, and the built-in speaker makes it possible to perform anywhere, anytime.

It's not really a wind controller, but you can get MIDI data from it with the addition of a special adaptor cable (not included). The MIDI data it sends is not like standard wind controllers, so think of the EZTP more like a self-contained electronic instrument rather than a MIDI controller to control external synths.

This is really interesting musical device that resides somewhere between a really cool and fun musical gadget and a wind controller. It uses a completely unique method of sensing the fingering that is actually pretty high tech. Trumpet players will find it very interesting because instead of selecting the range you are fingering in with left hand octave switches as with all other wind controllers, you actually use your voice to hum into the mic located inside the mouthpiece. The EZ-TP senses the pitch of your humming and uses it to select the overtone mode / harmonics that you finger in with your right hand. This means that the fingering is done completely with the right hand and it uses actual trumpet fingering! This is very different from other wind controllers which always require two hands for fingering. One very nice feature of this method of fingering is that this system can actually respond to alternate fingering! For example if you are playing an open G, you can also finger it as 1-3. Playing an A can be done with 1-2, or just valve 3. A top space E can be fingered open, or 1-2, or 1-2-3, or just valve 3. This type of alternate fingering is not available on any other wind controller. You can also do "lip shakes" just like on a trumpet by simply changing the pitch of your humming and not moving any valves. Very interesting to say the least!

Yamaha EZ-TP Specifications:

Playing method: Sing / operate valves. Built in microphone in the mouthpiece is for sensing humming to select the mode (like loosening and tightening the embouchure)
Sounds: 22 selectable from the front panel
Songs: 10 songs including... In The Midnight Hour, The Lonely Bull, Respect, Soul Man, Spanish Flea, Raiders March (other songs can be loaded into memory from an older computer using an optional USB interface, 992 kilobyte memory capacity. Yamaha released a Song Filer program that runs on older computers [Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Mac pre-OS X] that manages the song storage).
LED Guide Lamps next to the three valves optionally show you the fingering on the 6 built-in songs.
Polyphony: 32 notes
Displays: LED display, valve LEDs

Professionally reconditioned Sax style MIDI wind controller. Casio has made an electronic saxophone that is so easy to play you won't believe it. The DH-100 has the unique claim to be the only SELF-CONTAINED wind controller. Unlike other wind controllers, the DH-100 can be powered via batteries, has a built-in sound generator, amplifier, and speaker, so you can play it in a parade or on the beach! It features built-in sounds as well as a MIDI OUT jack which allows you to expressively control MIDI synths. It also has a built-in synth featuring SIX sounds: saxophone, trumpet, synth-reed, oboe, clarinet, and flute. There is a built-in speaker with volume control.

There are switches to select the sound, transpose (2 octaves), and a Breath switch which allows you to play the horn without needing to blow into it if desired. There are also connections for headphones, MIDI OUT, and an AC adaptor (AC adaptor not included). The DH-100 also runs on five "AA" batteries making wireless a possibility using a standard wireless guitar system. There is a power-on LED indicator. It was recently professionally serviced, reconditioned, calibrated, cleaned, and tested by wind controller expert Matt Traum here at Patchman Music (www.patchmanmusic.com/dh100.html) with an upgrade to prevent squealing (a common problem with these horns if not upgraded)- a $140 value included with this horn!

The DH-100 is a very expressive MIDI controller. It transmits MIDI aftertouch data in response to your breath. It transmits variable velocity in response to how hard you attack a note. It transmits MIDI program changes 0 through 5 when you select the various tones with the tone button. It also transmits MIDI Portamento Switch (CC#65) data when you press the Portamento key. This is a great way to get into the amazing world of wind controllers. Feel free to email Matt if you have any questions regarding this wonderful inexpensive wind controller.

The unit is in good shape and has been cleaned, fully checked out by professional wind controller repair tech Matt Traum, and is in 100% working condition. Cosmetically, there may be dings, scuffs, markings, etc. from normal use but nothing interfering with functionality.

The FB01 may be set to be 8 instruments, each playing monophonically, one instrument with 8 note polyphony, or any combination in between.

The voice data is compatible with the Yamaha CX5M's SFG-05 sound synthesizer unit, and you can easily create your own sounds by using an external voice programming aid for the FB01.

The configuration of the entire FB-01 (all settings for each instrument, MIDI channels, voice channels, etc.) can be stored in Configuration Memory (there are 4 ROM presets and 16 RAM user memories).

The FB-01 features comprehensive MIDI implementation. It will receive system exclusive event list messages to recognize and produce microtonal intervals or non-standard temperament, as well as many system exclusive messages for loading or saving voice and configuration memories. The Yamaha FB-01 is perhaps not the greatest FM synth ever made, but nevertheless it is loved by many for its quirky style, small footprint, AC power (no wall wart!), vintage FM sounds, and of course its multi-timbral capabilities!

This Yamaha FB-01 for sale has been updated and professionally modded with an internal battery clip and a fresh memory backup battery installed here at Patchman Music (a $135 value included!).

EXTREMELY RARE! CRUMAR / STEINER MASTER'S TOUCH
Breath-controlled Steiner Filter & Analog CV Breath/Bite/Touch Sensor Interface - PRICE REDUCED!!!

ATTENTION Modular Synth and CV Fans! Designed by the amazing Nyle Steiner (inventor of the EWI and EVI wind controllers), here is the EXTREMELY RARE and INCREDIBLY UNIQUE Steiner Master's Touch which is a breath-controlled Steiner analog filter and analog CV Breath, Bite, and Touch sensor interface. This is a very interesting, incredibly expressive and unique breath controlled device from the late 70s/early 80s designed to be used in conjunction with voltage controlled analog modular synthesizers although the breath controlled filter/resonance can be used with any mono audio source without voltage control. Since it has a built-in TRUE ANALOG breath controlled Steiner filter with resonance, you can use your breath to control the filter cutoff and apply it to and audio source that is plugged into its audio input. Using your breath to control the filter of any audio source is incredibly expressive. Please note that the Masters Touch is best used with a CV (control voltage) synth where you are capable of controlling the filter cutoff, pitch, and key trigger via CV. The Steiner Masters Touch generates no sound on its own. Instead, it is an "expression processor and controller" for other instruments and a breath controlled analog Steiner filter. There are two tubes connected to its single mouthpiece- one is open on the end and used for breath control. The other is closed and used for bite control. There is also a touch/pressure sensor pad on the unit itself for touch control. You wiggle your finger back and forth on the sensor for very expressive vibrato. When everything is connected properly to a proper synth, the expression you can get is simply amazing. You can make the synth practically sing by biting and blowing into the Masters Touch mouthpiece and moving your finger. The slide controls on the unit are for SED, Resonance, Filtered/Unfiltered Mix, Bite, and Touch Modulation. Three audio output jacks are "unfiltered", "mixed", "filtered". There are two trigger outputs (both polarities are provided). One mono audio signal input jack is provided. Three 1/4" voltage controlled (VC) outputs are provided for bite, breath, and touch modulation which can be routed to various control voltage (CV) devices. Here's an interesting site that talks about a group using this device (read down into the article a bit). If you are into modular synthesis, the expression you can get from using this will blow you away! Visit the Nyle Steiner homepage for more info on this device.

This Steiner / Crumar Masters Touch is in EXCELLENT CONDITION! The front panel looks beautiful with only minor scuffs from normal use. It has been professionally checked out here in the Patchman Music wind controller lab (www.patchmanmusic.com) by wind controller / breath controller expert Matt Traum. Everything works perfectly as is was when it made over 37 years ago. This unit has been refurbished here at Patchman Music (a $250 value). The audio filter works great, all the CV outs work great. All of the original parts are included on this unit- all the original slider knobs are there, all the sliders are original, the original mouthpiece is included- even the plastic protective film is still on the serial number plate! This is definitely a rare vintage piece for analog synth collectors and modular synth users that is almost never seen for sale. Please contact Matt at Patchman Music if you have any questions about this vintage piece or what this device does. Included with this sale is the Steiner Masters Touch unit, the breath tubes and original mouthpiece, and a printed copy of the Owner's Manual. Here is your chance to get a very rare and unique device in great condition designed by the legendary synthmaster Nyle Steiner. Grab it now while it is still available!

Yamaha MFC1 MIDI Footpedal - PRICE REDUCED!!!

The Yamaha MFC1 is a nice and simple, yet versatile, MIDI foot pedal. It allows you to send MIDI Program Change messages in any order. You can pre-arrange your favorites program change numbers and other MIDI data into a Chain which can then be stepped through in order using your feet. This leaves your hands free to play your instrument. Any program change number from 0 to 127 can be assigned to a place in the Chain or a value for an optional Footswitch and Footpedal plugged into the rear of the Yamaha MFC1. MIDI Start, Stop, and Continue can also be assigned. The MFC1 does NOT support MIDI Bank Select messages so you can access patches only within a single bank on your synth. A Chain can consist of up to 20 steps and there are 4 Chains in the MFC1. To get the most out of this pedal, you will want to add your own standard footswitch (such as the Yamaha FC4 or FC5) and continuous footpedal (such as the Yamaha FC7). These optional pedals both are available here from Patchman Music. The optional FC7 will allow you to send a MIDI Continuous Controller signal from the pedal (i.e., VL70-m TURBO users can set it up to add Growl or automatic vibrato to many of the TURBO VL instruments!). You can also freely access 8 of your favorite patch numbers with the built-in pedals on the MFC1. You can download the MFC1 PDF manual here. The connectors on the back are MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, 9-12V DC In (for a standard power supply which is included), and two 1/4" connectors for the aforementioned footswitch and footpedal. PLEASE NOTE: The MFC1 does not have a WX input jack, it is strictly MIDI.

This Yamaha MFC-1 is in VERY GOOD CONDITION with a moderate amount of dings from normal use. It has been checked out here in the Patchman Music lab (www.patchmanmusic.com) by wind controller expert Matt Traum and it works great. Patchman Music has professionally modded this unit by installing an internal backup battery clip and a fresh backup battery (a $100 shop mod INCLUDED!).

VERY RARE! Version 2 Upgrade for the Yamaha VL1, VL1-m, VL7 - PRICE REDUCED!!!

THE ORIGINAL UPGRADE IS LONGER AVAILABLE FROM YAMAHA!! This is the very hard to find Version 2 OS Upgrade set of chips for the Yamaha VL1/VL1-m/VL7 physical modeling synth. Features of the Version 2 upgrade include the following: Improved Voices most notably in the trumpet, ethnic guitar, tenor sax, and recorder voices. This involves improved voicing and new elements, not just parameter tweaks. The new Excitation model (decay from pulse excitation) can be used in editing, and the new ethnic guitar voices, for example, use it. The new Modulation Effects in Version 2 are Chorus, Phaser, Symphonic, Celeste, Distortion + Flanger, and Distortion + Wah. As with the Reverb effects, all of these effects are well done. With the Phaser you can, for example, set the Feedback Gain and Wet/Dry Balance down from their wild levels to something in the range of 35% each to get an interesting evolving timbre change during held notes. New parameters and extended or finer-grained parameter settings are available in Version 2 on almost all editing screens. Version 2 brings a bunch of new breath noise types that are easy to select to get just the right breath noise for your favorite voice. Note that these breath noises are not just attack chiff, but are modeled according to the actual sound of a real musical instrument, so they may show up during sustain or decay, they may vary with breath pressure, may combine with pitch components (e.g. sax, flute, clarinet), and so on. The Mixing screen (the heart of the resonant model) has two new types of tap settings. 30 new microtunings have been added, including Scottish highland bagpipe tuning, various Arabic tunings, Phrygian, Thai, African, etc. This kit contains all you need to upgrade your Yamaha VL1/VL1-m/VL7 to Version 2. This upgrade will NOT work with any other keyboard or module. This sale is final and sold as is. There are no returns on this item. PLEASE NOTE: Installing this upgrade requires opening up your VL1/VL1-m/VL7. It is a simple chip swap (no soldering is involved) but it is recommended that the upgrade be done by a qualified professional. We offer no support for the installation so proceed at your own risk. Patchman Music will not be held responsible if you damage your VL1/VL1-m/VL7.

This sale includes the two VL1/VL1-m/VL7 Version 2 EPROM chip set, a copy of the new Version 2 Voices emailed to you, printed installation instructions, and links to the VL1/VL1-m/VL7 Version 2 Supplement manual and Version 2 Voice Lists & MIDI Data manual in PDF format. Each model requires a specific chipset, so you must specify which model you have (VL1, VL1-m, or VL7) when ordering.

Here is the M3R RPC-04 Orchestra 1 Prog./Combi./Demo-Seq. card for the Korg M3R. Please note that this card has only the Prog./Combi./Demo-Seq. data on it. To function properly, you will need to also have the corresponding MSC PCM card WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED. Nevertheless, loading this card into the M3R can still result in some useful new sounds even without the missing sample card and it expands the number of patches you can access. This sale is for the M3R RPC-04 Orchestra 1 Prog./Combi./Demo-Seq. card. It is in good condition and it contains Programs and Combis. Again, this card requires its matching MSC PCM DATA card to work correctly. There are no returns on this sale. These cards are becoming increasingly hard to find so don't delay if you are interested.

"I recently purchased a nearly new WX7 and a WT11 in very good condition. Patchman loaded his patches in the WT11 and I was off. I played my first gig this past Sunday. I am sure many of you know Patchman far better than I, actually I never met him but found him through his web site and corresponded by telephone and e-mail. This guy is the best and I would recommend him to anyone seeking an honest and knowledgeable individual to deal with. Alright, enough with the compliments already!"

"Hey Matt! Thanks for the EWI3030m... I got it on Thursday and haven't put it down since :-) ! It's really a dream come true for me to have this instrument in my arsenal, and I had a hard time believing that it was even used before I unwrapped it! The Patchman sounds are great (200% better than I remember the stock sounds being), and I'm planning on getting some more sound modules to add into the rack (most likely via your USED GEAR page) when I can afford it. Just wanted to say 'thanks' again, and I'll keep you posted! Peace."

"Hi Matt, I received the EWI system last week and all is well. It really is nice to deal with you as I can count on a painless transaction and know I'll get what I'm expecting to get. My mind is in overdrive concocting a series of applications for all of this newness. Thanks again for a great deal and look forward to dealing with you again in the future. Regards."

"Matt, It's 12:18AM as I type this- had to come up for air... been on the used WX5 for 7 hours straight now! Everything arrived, as described, & played straight out of the box as promised. My 7 year old daughter and 82 year old grandfather love it almost as much as me :-) Thank you so much for being a professional. You have plenty of referrals on your website already- if you want another one, let me know. Will stay in touch. Thanks again."

"Hey Matt, Thanks so much for your prompt service. You're spoiling me! I appreciate all the little extra things you do, like installation and selling used but quality equipment. Boy, I would love to see what all you have in that back room of yours! Everything I was looking for: 'Oh, I have one of those....' Anyway, it is always a pleasure dealing with you. Best to you and yours."

"Thank you for responding so quickly to my questions, Matt. Your customer service is, quite simply, extraordinary!!!! I appreciate doing business with the best in the business!!!!!"

"I'm really happy that I stumbled upon your site while doing an Internet search for the BT7 (which your knowledge, unlike that of Yamaha techs, showed that I don't need.) Thanks for all your help."

"All arrived safe and sound last evening - the Yamaha WX5 and Alesis S4+. My son had a lot of fun comparing the old school system to the "new" one. There are enough choices that he's reading the manuals as well. Thanks for your help and advice!"

"Matt, I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with this instrument, which arrived today. It's every bit as nice as you said, maybe even better. It looks as if it has never been played, and everything seems to work perfectly. Thanks for your usual prompt and efficient service."

"Hi Matt. The package arrived on Saturday and I did a quick checkout Sunday evening. Sounds good. In fact, it's immaculate - pristine condition, beautifully packed - like opening a Christmas present. You're the best! Thanks!"

"Matt: The WX7 arrived today and the world is good! Within minutes I was playing some of your XP-60 patches. I am very excited about learning this new instrument."

"Matt, Thanks for the quick turn-around on my order! The item was delivered today. Works great for my application with the Yamaha CP-70M. Hope to do business again with you in the future. Regards."

"The WX5 and Alesis sound module came from Matt and were excellently shipped. I've been fooling around for the past couple hours. The patches for the Alesis S4 are incredible, I especially like the 'mix' function to layer patches for super fat sound. Thanks again to Matt, he was amiable and professional. Not to mention patient..."

"I am very happy to report that the Alesis Nanosynth I ordered from you arrived yesterday at about 11:00 am! The unit is in good condition and seems to function perfectly! Thanks so much for your prompt attention. Thanks again for the prompt service. It has been a pleasure doing business with you!"

"Matt, just to let you know that I finally got my WT11 and it's wonderful. It looks and plays like new. Thanks for providing such a professional service. Next time round it'll have to be a fully loaded VL70, let's wait and see what the dollar/euro situation is! Thanks again."

"Matt, I received the unit yesterday, it's in great condition. I appreciate the excellent packing job and fast shipping."

"Matt, the WX11 arrived Friday and it plays like a new one. Thanks for the product and fast shipping..."

"Matt, Hi. The unit arrived. It looks gorgeous and sounds great. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future."

"I received the unit today. It appears to have arrived safe and sound largely due I think to the meticulous packing job that you did, Thank You! Thanks for taking care of this for me... Take Care.""

"Thanks Matt... You are a trustworthy business man and a pleasure to depend on for quality sales and service..."

"Hello Matt, I received the two Quadracards.... Awesome Condition & major fast shipping!! You are the man... and it was a pleasure speaking with you. I'll be visiting your site more often :) Thank you"

"Dear Matt, Thanks for your help with getting me the QSR. I appreciate the time you take to talk to me on the phone. I would not have the success I do with the WX5 were it not for you."

"Matt, I've received my M3R and love it! Thanks for this great item and for your help in getting me on my way. Now begins my search for some of those elusive M3R Ethnic patch cards...:) Thanks again!"

"Hi Matt- I just got the EWI. Everything is in perfect condition and I didn't have any kind of trouble with the delivery. Well, now to begin to practice again! Take care and THANKS!!!"

"Hi Matt. Just wanted to say thanks - the WX7 arrived very well packed, in beautiful shape, plays very nicely. Thanks again."

"Thank you very much for being so prompt with the shipping of the electric horn to my brother. He called me yesterday playing a song over the phone. I have not heard him so happy in a very long time."

"Everything arrived in good shape yesterday. Now for the fun. Looks like I have no more excuses for ignoring the MIDI world and have a ton of learning to do. Thanks again."

"Hi Matt. Just a friendly note to let you know I appreciate your service and am very happy with my purchase. Great job!"

"Thank you so much for providing a source for wind synth hardware and software. Your patches are far superior to the canned versions in the VL70-m. I received the VL70-m in fine working order and condition. I also appreciate the extra help you provided in getting me up and running. This kind of customer service is above the call of duty, rare and very welcomed. Thanks again."
