@mbang i take it back - i don´t drop the thread. I got a BSP but i don´t feel comfortable with it.. had one before, same problem there. I dont like the sequencer parts, or many other othe other functions..

I am not sure i really need so many controllers, but a decent keyboard with usb-midi and din-midi out, plus cv/gate would be nice.. Maybe the regular beatstep?

Anyway i saw a new aalesis i thin that was very nice with lots out outputs... Hmm, gotta look into that one..

It is amazing how a thriving on-line community can self-support a user community and help a product to grow.

I am an active member of many communities using different discussion systems, and the difference between those that function smoothly and those that creak along is striking.

The best systems seem to be those that are based on trust levels (new users earn trust by posts that get positive response and get correspondingly more capabilities). They seem to create communities where the users (happily) support the product, essentially freeing the developers of most of the support work.

Not sure where NodeBB stands in capabilities, but it might not be up to the task. I have had very (very) good experience with Discourse (https://www.discourse.org/), which is used to run the Cantabile forum, an outstanding user community ...

The future ?

Impressive !! How this physically possible? However, I'm happy with my flute fingering, and happy with the Sylphyo and all its versatility !

Thanks for your enthusiasm for Progressive rock !

@Peter-Ostry Dang, I did something wrong, I have to test it again. Thanks for your answer.

It is true, Clint, that when we suggest something in development, I do not measure the amount of work that this represents for for example Aodyo.
By cons I measure very well the work that the creation of Anyma Phy or Omega represents. And I deduce that Aodyo now privileges the creation of Synthe rather than the development of Sylphyo.
I reopen the debate but what interests me is that the Sylphyo becomes better rather than buying another synth ...

@wwoodard8 said in Double note:

I'll try the velocity as 1. (BTW, why 1?

We would like to set 0 but this gets interpreted as note-off.
Velocity 1 is the least evil.

@wwoodard8 said in Double note:

My assumption is that synths built especially for wind synths will just totally ignore velocity

Well, the synth needs the start of the note and that comes with velocity greater than zero. And it needs the end of the note. However, synths made for windcontrollers should not make sound with velocity 1 while most other synths do. Actually a dedicated wind synth should not sound without the "sound event" it is prepared for (i.e. CC2). But since we seldom know what a synth exactly does internally, we set the velocity as low as possible.

Working with CC2 should be the default setting for a dedicated wind synth, but this can usually be changed to another CC number or Channel Pressure, just to be usable with different input devices and settings.

@ForeverTangent said in Meet Anyma Omega!:

@doul

I am thinking about backing the Anyma Omega on Kickstarter, but I am curious about the Additive Oscillator module.

Can you tell me more about the general design of the Additive Oscillator. Specifically:

How many partials does one oscillator support?

Does it allow ADSR over each partial?

Can each partial be tuned in terms of ratio/frequency/phase?

Can a waveform (sample) be resynthesized by the oscillator?

There are not many synths that have a really robust Additive Synthesis support, and I am trying to learn more about Aodyo's approach to the their take before I commit to supporting the project.

Thanks.

Stan

Hello Stan

This is definetly not the purpose of the Anyma Omega to become an additive synthesizer. The additive OSC are simple one with one partial with detune and bandwidth setting. Other like Organ Osc can mimic simple additive synthesis as do organs. The purpose of such OSc in the Anyma context is more to have various tone source to feed the resonators.

No resynthesis on board.

I use cheap contact mics from Korg, the clip mics used for tuners and it works great.

Hi,

I performed the update on MacOS Ventura (using Terminal because of the already mentioned 10093 error). During the update process it gives an error message stating:

MB: ERASESECTOR 4 ERR: 0 2

After that it finishes the update and interface asks to eject the Anyma Phi and after that's done to turn it off and on. That results in an unresponsive and therefore useless Anyma Phi with a black screen.

I tried to reinstall v1.0.0 but with same error message and same result. Another attempt with v1.1.0, also the same.

(The entire sequence can be viewed at https://youtu.be/CAtcoLzLEYI in a for the public hidden video.)

How can this be solved?

@Clint Haha!

@Paul-Flute
I don't expect them to put in a mechanical button, even if we would prefer that. But what you describe can be solved with software. For example, tap twice or hold your finger on it longer. They would have to discuss that with the players who are affected. I myself have never accidentally touched the button.

@doul It doesn't seem to be Sylphyo V.3. :-).

I will wait up this new instrument. If it is not a new Sylphyo, I will probably say goodbye to Sylphyo (and Aodyo). Too many problems with the Sylphyo.

Hello to all,

I would like to take the opportunity to take part in this discussion, which is an important subject.

I would like to thank everyone for their trust in Aodyo.

@Paul-Flute, I am sorry that you had to pay for customs to release your package.
We work with DHL for returns and have done so for a long time.
When we send back material after repair, it is specified so that the recipient does not have to pay anything.
Unfortunately, if the customs authorities still decide to charge a fee, and we are not notified, we cannot intervene.
And even less can we decide for them.
We have already had to pay customs ourselves, even though we are the manufacturer.

As far as insurance is concerned, here again it is the carrier who sets the price. We advise you to opt for insurance because unfortunately there have already been cases of lost packages.

For all our shipments of instruments that we have sold or that we are sending back after repair, we take out insurance.

As for the repair time, it is important to know that as long as we do not have the instrument in our hands and in a position to identify a problem, if it is not systematic, it is difficult to decide on the solution to be applied.
Hence the importance of the descriptions made.

Finally, there is always a shortage of electronic components and we are the first victims because this generates delays in production and repair.
However, we do our best to repair and return the product as quickly as possible.

Thanks again to all of you for your trust.
We remain available for you at support@aodyo.com if you have any other questions.

Best regards.

Matthias.

@Paul-Flute said in Music example: Sylphyo in a cave:

@Peter-Ostry The link appears to not work?

Ah, maybe because of security restrictions. It’s HTTP, not HTTPS.
You can copy/paste the link to your browser.

Or, if you prefer that, I’ve put it on SoundCloud:
Sylphyo in Hang Son Dong (Section, on SoundCloud)

My Aerophone does show up as a USB target on my MIDI hub (mioXM), so maybe you're right about the host karma. Later, I'll try putting the Sylphyo Link's MIDI DIN on the MIDI hub, too, and see how well I can control the Aerophone that way. I'm concerned about latency with this config, though.

@Laurent_AODYO Merci Laurent pour cette réponse claire et compréhensible...

@Paul-Flute Cool! Modifying the Sylphyo is a lot of fun :)

This just points out one of the fantastic benefits of breath synth instruments.

With acoustic flutes the holes have to be in a very specific position, therefore your fingers have to conform to the dictates of physics.

With a breath synth instrument however, you can put the sensors for the finger anywhere you want, in any configuration. You can make the instrument conform to your fingers' best natural positions, making articulating over the instrument much easier. (Copper tape helps in this!)

@bibenu Thanks a lot, I'm going to try tomorrow...let's hope..Thans , it's very kind. Warm hello from Parma.

@Gromit I have compared "Electro Fuse" with the possibilities of Helix Native to set up a guitar-like sound. There are much more alternatives in the Helix-Plugin and the sound is much more "guitarish" than Electro Fuse.

@reidid789
They probably have a backup somewhere with the best entries from Asia.

@Clint That's good to hear!

@Jean-Louis
Good idea! And takes up less space than a small keyboard where you would also have to switch octaves. There's still time for a MIDI keyboard later, if composing becomes more important to you.

@Clint We will continue this discussion by email to find a solution together.
I sent you an email a few minutes ago.

BTW - if anyone is interested, I asked Aodyo support what kind of charger would work. And this is the reply I received.

Dear Will,

Thank you for your email.
Sorry for the confusion with the power adapter.
You should have had a US adapter.

Yes, a 5W type iPhone adapter should work.

I remain available if you have any other questions.

Best regards.

So there you go!

My Sylphyo does not send anything when switched on. Not a single event. Not via the link, nor directly via USB. The first messages I see are Elevation CCs when I take the instrument out of the vertical power on position.

@Friedus and @ebo ...

At the other end of the safety/protection scale is my home-grown, thin-wall PVC case. I really feel much more secure with this setup ... Full post is in This Post.

Now it is 1,5 year since the last update. And still waiting.

@Paul-Flute Great! I didn‘t know that MainStage has such a Plugin! I will try it out as soon as possible! Thank you very much for your hint!

@maki76 I would consider buying the Anyma if you showed me the video demonstrating what I want from this synthesizer

We made some early tests with both Touché and Touché SE.

Touché requires too much power to be connected on the USB MIDI Host of the Anyma Phi. But as the Touché also has a MIDI out, you can connect it to the MIDI DIN in of the Anyma provided you insert the right adapter cables.
Touché SE works on the the USB MIDI Host though as it requires less power.

You can setup CC message on both the Touché and Touché SE (using Lié software) and the Anyma Phi, just set this up to your needs and start experimenting.

By the way, one can indeed control everything in the synth by using NRPN CC Message but the easiest and most efficient way to keep a consistant behavior between various patch would be to use the main "realtime control messages" handled by the Anyma Phi (these can be modified by the user).
Here is the list with default settings for the Anyma Phi:
96722107-1d4d-45d9-9d9d-e7b6ead29185-image.png

Up to 2 CC message can be mixed to control Expression Control A/B/C/D which means you can have an easy 5 parameters setup.
Keep in mind most of the time in the factory patches Expression is used and Control A (which is assigned to Morph), you would have to add some mappings to the patches to map Control B, C and D to any parameter that you would find interesting to control.

@Clint Hi Clint,

Aodyo tells me to send back the Bagheera to change the battery. But I hat to wait about 3 months to get my "normal" sylphyo back. So I hesitate to send my bagheera to Aodyo. I can live without a fully functional battery.

@reidid789 I think you're right. I've done everything humanly possible...

Hello

You should be able to download latest Linux version from here:
http://downloads.aodyo.com/anymaphi/anymaphi-linux.zip

@TheSongSystem said in Prospective user with questions:

no representative in Japan

I've always dealt directly with Aodyo in France (from the U.S.), and it has been a good and smooth experience.

The Sylphyo works for most folks directly out of the box, but as you play more and more you'll find that there are a lot of things you can alter to suit your particular style of playing. People come to this instrument from all backgrounds, and the settings you can control on the instrument I believe cover a wide range of playing styles.

@Clint The LUB camp should be disbanded. It seems Aodyo is squarely in the SOR camp (shortage of resources). When obvious problems manifest and improvements needed, the users deserve them, as soon as possible. The continuous striving for excellence is an outstanding quest...... I would like to become a beta (better) tester.... P

@Ksavi
Brancher un Nanokey2 sur l'USB host? Oui c'est possible. En tout cas, il alimente très bien mon Joué.

Compatible MPE? Non, c'est un synthétiseur monophonique, le MPE n'a pas d’intérêt en soi. Est-ce que ça peut prendre les données d'expression (CC74, pitch-bend 48 semitons, aftertouch) en single channel? Absolument!!! J'ai plusieurs contrôleurs MPE et ils fonctionnent comme un charme en single channel ou via un channel merger.
En fait c'est même mieux, le synthé peux prendre un CC comme données d'expression et remplacer la vélocité. C'est particulièrement utile pour les simulations d' instruments à vents ou à cordes.

Le piezo interne est mono et peut moduler n'importe quoi dans le système. Directement comme source audio à "pinger" dans un résonateur. Ou convertir en courbe de vélocité/expression avec l'enveloppe follower. J'utilise deux microphones contact pas cher. Chacun sur un canal L ou R et tu peux contrôler deux oscillateurs/sources indépendantes de cette façon. C'est très flexible. Tu peux programmer des seuils de déclenchement où un micro trigge un oscilateur à fort volume et juste passe dans un résonateur à faible volume. Le pitch peut être associé indépendamment via l'arp ou un séquenceur (ou n'importe quoi...).

Et le synthé peut être paraphonique dans une certaine mesure.

Bref il y a de quoi s'amuser... La seule limite est ton immagination et la charge cpu...

@Gromit Great hint! Got it. Thanks again!
I thought about the mini USB … but couldn't imagine because of the standard USB plug. So all sylphyo up-to-date. Great controller for Sequential analog synths. all the best :-)

@thecoastguard you are not alone. I have the same problem. I got some help and a beta OS via email but not quite solved. So I’ve left my Anyma Phi powered on for months. Have you fixed yours?

@Peter-Ostry said in Dual Sylphyo Setup:

Each time a player switches on his/her Sylphyo, it should connect to the same Link=Synth.

Yes, good point. That's the way it should be ...

very helpful thanks

@Thomas
I get ppp to ff with no problem.

I have adopted most of the Sylphyo SWAM recommended settings or their equivalent due to the updated SWAM 3 interface.
The important thing is to set the SWAM compressor to the minimum otherwise the attack (for wind instruments at least) tend to be too aggressive.
The SWAM compressor setting is in the effects page.

My Sylphyo settings (with the number 2 stopper) for playing with the iOS SWAM (and occasionally the GeoShred SWAM) are:

Midi mapping
Breath CC11
Send to CC11
Plus Aftertouch
Breath Max
per CC On
Delay if needed On
Velocity 127
Slider ctrl CC1
Top slider ctrl CC12
Bottum slider ctrl CC13
Elevation ctrl CC20
Roll ctrl CC76
Compass ctrl CC77
Keybend ctrl 78

Breath
Minimum 40
Range 2100
Curve linear
Filtering Off

Fingering
Flute
Octaves 5(+2)
Invert Octaves Off
Replay Same Note Off
Reaction Time 5 ms
Reaction Time Octaves 30ms
More sensitive On

Cheers,
Fred

I support this feature request.

But I expect a problem with Compass. How do we tell it the direction we want to play?
We would need some sort of Center, Reset, Set Direction, however you name it.

Otherwise we could only play on stages that face north :-)

We had a chance to try the R1 recently. It is very nice to hold and the lights are neat. It is targeted at beginners and occasional players with very low expectations regarding performance and quality, and the sound set is aimed at the asian market.

@laurent_aodyo
Bonsoir,

c'est ce que j'ai fait, merci pour votre retour.
