Hey sorry to hear you are having this problem. Can you send us an email to support@aodyo.com and we can have a look? We try to keep issues separated from discussion threads. Maxence Aodyo Instruments

Except for the lowest and highest octave i never lift my thumb, always slide. I have a history with windcontrollers, Yamaha and Akai Ewi , and sliding is always the good option. Ewi has rollers, making it a easier than the Yamaha. Sylphyo is best, except for the screw , but one gets quickly used to that. Many times i have portamento on: not to cover glitches, but rather to get a nice pitch bend up to the actual note. Making up a bit for the missing mouth controlled pitch bend. The length of the slur depends on the previous note. One can create a longer slur by quickly tapping a (much) lower octave. It is a pity not all internal sounds have portamento enabled. I did not check yet if one can switch portamento on via midi input: would be lovely. Sure needs practise to learn how to slide fast , but thet is part of the game regards Frank

Thanks! I expected to see you live on stage! At least it was responsable for a melodic line .. always nice to see what others do Regards Frank

Measured by time playing, Logic's synths are what I play the most - particularly ES2, Sculpture, and EXS24. However, if I was picking one favorite for a brand new user starting from scratch, I'd probably pick Zeeon for iOS. I chose it because: the UI is a joy to use. Exactly what it needs to have and nothing more. the patches are really expressive and they all sound fantastic. I feel like some synths (like Synth One for iOS) are intended for more complex patches that don't lend themselves to being played. Those patches already have so much happening that the player's expression doesn't stand out. it requires almost zero configuration. I usually just map expression/CC11 to filter cutoff, which takes 10 seconds (like this). the default patches include a pretty wide range (and third-party patch banks). Probably the weakest category is bowed instruments. it's $10 :-) Happy playing, Troy

@rothen_s said in Sylphyo with different hardware configurations: But if I cannot play the internal sound with the Sylphyo Bench, is there another possibility to play the internal instruments apart from headphones, the amplifier and the "Sylphyo with PC via Audio Out" solution? Another option is to plug the Sylphyo audio out into powered speakers. Powered speakers are similar to an amplifier in that they contain both an amp and loudspeakers, but they're designed to be used with a computer or other source. Most computer speakers (like Audioengine, Klipsch ProMedia) are powered speakers, so most people already have them. Look for an "aux in" (3.5mm AKA 1/8") plug on your computer speakers. As an example, on the Presonus Eris E4.5, the aux in plug is 1 of the 2 small plugs on the front: E4.5 photo. You only need the speakers and the Sylphyo, no computer, audio interface, or Link. Troy

@join Merci pour la réponse détaillée. Pour la machine virtuelle, j'utilise VirtualBox avec une VM Windows 7. Pour le coup, j'ai eu l'opportunité de faire la mise à jour sur Windows lors d'une visite en famille, où il y avait un portable avec Windows. J'ai pu ainsi voir comment la procédure devait fonctionner, et j'ai en effet remarqué ce changement de personnalité. Je pense que si je pouvais faire que le Sylphyo et le Link changent de personnalité hors de la procédure, il devrait être possible de les enregistrer dans les USB de Virtual Box. Ça me semble évident que c'était là le (premier) problème. Y a-t-il donc moyen de faire ressortir cette personnalité ? (j'ai vu que Windows appelait celle du Sylphyo "Sylphyo updater") Ou bien est-il possible de lancer la procédure sur un Sylphyo déjà à jour (est-ce risqué) ? Je pense que pour les utilisateurs Linux, ça serait bien d'avoir au moins une telle option, même si devoir dépendre d'une licence Windows reste un problème. Sinon, idéalement, il faudrait avoir en effet un utilitaire natif directement sur Linux (je pense qu'il serait plus compliqué de faire que Wine fonctionne avec ce double système), en ligne de commande serait probablement suffisant. Je comprends que le temps vous est limité, et il me semble plus important pour la communauté Sylphyo que vous continuez à améliorer les fonctionnalités du Sylphyo même (cette mise à jour a introduit un super son, et le contrôle externe du Link me sera certainement bien utile avec mon synthé). Ma capacité à coder est limitée (j'ai pas mal codé il y a un certain nombre d'années, mais je suis rouillé) et le temps que je peux y accorder serait aussi (très) limité, mais si ça vous tente, je peux essayer de me lancer dans un projet à moyen terme (on va dire, sur 2020) pour intégrer le code de mise à jour avec les bibliothèques USB et ALSA MIDI et essayer de créer une application indépendante de mise à jour, dont la compilation pourrait être lancée sur une Ubuntu sur clé USB ou autre (et de là, cross-compiler sur architecture ARM pour pouvoir le lancer depuis un Raspberry Pi aussi ?) ? Si ça vous intéresse, on pourrait passer par courriel pour la suite pour voir la faisabilité. Summary in English: Thanks for the detailed answer. I was using VirtualBox with a Windows 7 VM. I have had an opportunity to use a Windows machine while visiting family, so I could witness how an update is supposed to work, and I could see this personality change during the procedure. I wonder whether it is possible to get the Sylphyo and the Link to exhibit this personality outside the procedure, so that they can be registered in VirtualBox as USB devices to be shared to the VM. It would be nice to have a way for Linux users to make the update, although on the long term, depending on a Windows licence remains a problem. The best would be indeed to have a native application, via CLI is most likely sufficient for Linux users. What would be needed is to code the interfaces to USB and ALSA MIDI libraries, and generate an independent application, and a setup to be able to generate new versions via a Ubuntu on a USB stick or something. It is quite understandable that you don't have the time for starting such a project, as it is more important at the moment to make improvements to the Sylphyo itself, like the last update which I quite enjoy now, and while my ability to code is a bit rusty (I haven't done anything major in years), and I have little time available for such a thing, I could still try and develop something within 2020? We could continue by mail for details if you're interested.

Uff, now I updated the Link. But I can again not make the sound be heard via PC although I selected Sylphyo Link in the Sylphyo Bench. May it have to something to do with the cooperation with the ASIO program? No clue :(

Ok the new sound is there. Thanks, it is a kind of Sax. Just what I was looking for.

Yes, I use a plug. I tried several solutions but none of them was really satifying. But then I found out, that cutting a piece from a household sponge wipe is perfect. It does not cost much, you can cut as thick or thin as you like and it's quickly replaced when spoilt through moisture.

Good evening Maxence and troy, It's interesting to have such quick and useful feedback from both of you. Indeed, I have the CC2, CC1 and CC7 reflex to try to bring to life the presets of many plugin instruments such as AAS UltraAnalog V2 or AIR Hybrid, Vaccuum Pro, Velvet, Xpand ... and not CC11. So I'm going to try all of this and get back to you when it's done. I will test the action of CC11 on VCA of these VSTi as indicated by Maxence (Maxence, I am in contact with Rudy Verpaele and help as I can. I did the manual in French and some studiodid sounds. told me about getting in touch) Thank you and see you soon.

Bonjour Toujours dans l'attente de cette fonctionnalité de doigté-brut / Midi . J'ai acheté cet instrument pour cette fonctionnalité promise.... Cordialement

@pedro1690 i agree 100%

Good to hear Friedus! We hope you stay safe and stay at home with your Sylphyo. Musically, Maxence

Ok, merci pour la vérif, c'est bien dommage, mais je ne perds pas espoir, un jour peut être...

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions Gergely. We made some hidden step in the key management towards what you described but there are still some software/hardware tricks to find to achieve this.

Bonjour, Le Link joue le rôle d'interface MIDI vis à vis de l'ordinateur et pas le rôle de carte son. Pour enregistrer les sons internes du Sylphyo sur le PC il faut passer par une carte son pour récupérer les sorties lignes du Link. Pour faire ce type de chose, il faut d'une part alimenter le Link avec l'adaptateur secteur et utiliser un dispositif de type carte son (ou convertisseur audio vers USB) comme illustré par exemple ci dessous.

Si je branche le SYlphyo sur la prise USB du XpressO, c'est aussi parce que l'usage du Link bloque la box internet de la maison. J'ai réinitialisé les paramètres mais ça n'a rien changé. Je réserve l'usage du Link quand je suis ailleurs que chez moi (et ça va pouvoir attendre un moment, je crois ...)

Hello Nicolas, What fingering do you use on your Sylphyo? If you use EVI or flute, the best méthod should be a a flute method, pehaps a recorder method. So you can use your Sylphyo without transposing it. You can stay in C. You can surely find a second hand beginner method on the web. Do you read notes? If yes, I can send you some easy scores even with playbacks. Best regards. Daniel

Hi ghostdic You can like Maxence said, and how is not very obvious in the manual How can be found in the section getting started https://www.aodyo.com/user-manual-page-en-21.html#section-getting-started.default-mappings Look for the section quick settings : you will get at quick setting bij pressing the aodyo symbol at the front. Now press and hold the highest key at the back, and now one can change the base key with the Increase and decrease keys ( D settings key) Once you have tried, you will wonder why you have not seen it before, it is that simple Regards Frank

Bonjour, C'est une proposition très intéressante, moi aussi je suis à la recherche d'un doigté plus complet!! Le doigté a était développé? comment peut-on faire pour l'avoir ? Merci Louis

Hello! Sorry for the lack of reply to this thread. Since v1.4 the reverb setting is not active. This will be changed in the next update. Musically, Maxence Aodyo Instruments

Je te renvois à cet article qui établit que les sons SWAM sont actuellement les meilleurs pour le Sylphyo : https://community.aodyo.com/topic/29/how-will-be-the-quality-of-the-sounds-provided-with-the-new-internal-card/2

@reidid789 merci reidid!

This Problem seemed to be solved. As Maxence Fulconis from the Aodyo Team wrote me an E Mail to try to charge 48 hours. so I first did it with the Original Power Adapter. Nothing happened. Than I changed to an adapter from my smartphone and 48 hours later it is charged 4235! Thanks a lot

En fait ce n'est pas le son que je récupère de l'ExpressO mais les codes MIDI. Ca donne ça comme branchements avec un ordi pour jouer les accompagnements en solo

Mon réglage de soufle est a 40...ça vient pas de là... De plus rien ne peut remédier à ça a part éteindre et rallumer...si on soufle ça envoie les notes et elle prennent le dessus des que ça soufle plus les notes en font reprennent de plus belle... Et toujours ce petit problème des notes qui arrête tous ,faut arrêter et reprendre le soufle pour que ça repart... Cela ne viendrais t il pas du capteur de soufle ?

@Daniel57 Merci Daniel pour la compliment! I think it is better not to separate the forum into languages. Better put the question in ones native language, and maybe an effort to put it in any common language. Thanks for translating : i updated my French a bit Back to my Sylphyo + with Respiro My favourite internal sound now is 26 : Breathed on Bach I feel this forum we should use to share idea's about playing a wind instrument and which tone generators one uses. i see Sylphyo and Respiro : S and Tonegenerator X , Sylphyo and VL70 more interesting. No doubt there will be animo to help each other Kind Regards Frank Dutch : Kiswahili abit of German a bit of French

Vous avez raison ! Et je pense que cette option doit pouvoir se rajouter "informatiquement". Ça ne nécessiterait pas le renvoi de nos instruments à l'usine.

@troy From the manual : Cleaning the Sylphyo Frank

Je viens de voir que mon clavier a des soucis ... ou le bonhomme ... Le texte complet est : N'est il pas possible d'afficher un tout petit logo dans l'afficheur pendant le temps de charge. On serait certain que la prise sur lequelle on est alimenté fonctionne bien : ca m'est arrivé et je me suis retrouvé avec mon Sylphyo out. Ce serait sympa d'avoir des retours.

@clothear, just send us an e-mail to support@aodyo.com and we will contact you to provide you instructions to achieve a factory recovery update to solve your problem.

Hello Trumpetman, You can stick a tape on the 3/4 of (or more) of the Sylpyo's output air hole. So you need less air. I have put a wodden pin in the hole. But I perfored the pin with a 2mm bit and it works fine. Best regards. Daniel

@narval

Bonjour et bienvenue

Hi @yannick first in English The justin whistle is in tune. But i noticed that the sounds were slightly off before the latest version. I noticed that the top two octaves look out of tune in Ircam labs Snail, because of the slight beating of the oscillators. Kind regards Frank

@Support_AODYO update works well ! With new sounds as a surprise! Regards Frank PS i reported that with a mac installation the audio output works. This was not true, i patched the sylphyo wrongly and listend to the link instead.

thanks for acknowledging that you have seen my long standing post and that you are confirming that you do not intend to do anything about it again in 2018 february you said "we'll update the Celtic fingering to include finger vibrato." I am once again disappointed that I cannot seem to get you to understand this is a real plus to your instrument, and instead you continue to focus on star wars sounds. great shame but at least your saying up front that you cant be bothered
