Thanks Troy this is very useful! :)

@DominicB Ya I thought the same! I've played Macguffin myself so many times and thought I would have noticed something by now... Sylphyo is full of surprises :)

@Support_AODYO thanks very much!

Nicolas, If this were a traditional woodwind, I'd say get a high school band book and learn from there because it will teach you the fingerings. You can probably do that for some Sylphyo fingering patterns, but I think there are enough differences you may get frustrated. There is a series of method books for clarinet called the Lazarus Method. That's one option. Just use the fingering chart of your choice from the Sylphyo manual and work your way through the book. It's full of easy and challenging exercises and classical/opera pieces that, although intened for clarinet, aren't really instrument specific for the most part. Just bear in mind the book is intended for a Bb instrument, so you might want to set the sylphyo to transpose. That said, you probably have never heard any of the pieces in the method, so playing in any key probably doesn't make much difference. the method is a series of three substantial books, and you probably don't need any but the first, but thre are a lot of fun pieces in books 2 and 3.

En effet ! Simple et efficace ;)

Great job

@Daniel57 Super vidéo ! Merci Daniel :)

@Friedus We've tried a number of methods with varying degrees of success... Right now the best way is to delete them manually. While this is not ideal, we think it is better than having to manually review each post before allowing them to be posted. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any better ideas. Maxence Aodyo Instruments

@mathw Sorry for the late reply I can confirm the headphone jack on both the Sylphyo and the Link are stereo! Let me know if you have more questions. Maxence Aodyo Instruments

Is this the forum you meant to ask this on? But two things: you're trying to use the output audio before you've closed the write handle so maybe the file isn't fully written yet you run "start output.mp3" but will that find "/tmp/output.mp3" which is what you wrote? I suspect the working directory is not currently /tmp. So try "start /tmp/output.mp3" as well? Or find a Python library which plays MP3s and use that. And definitely check that the output.mp3 does get written and can be played with a normal MP3 player.

Je n'ai pas été convaincu par l'utilisation des Sylphyo. Mais ça cadre bien dans son style.

Bonjour Maxence, Merci pour votre retour, effectivement il a fallu que j augmente le temps de reactivité suis passer a 25ms, et je n ai plus de changement intempestif sur les passages d octaves ! Merci pour votre aide. Fabien

@Support_AODYO Exactly. Newer voices work well but older have no dynamics, just on with max loudness, and off, near the threshold you can get kind of chirping, intermittent on/off. Still many voices are quite usable.

I can confirm as of now the list of sounds is exactly the same in both. This is done to allow the near-instantaneous wireless latency as the same sound card is present in both Sylphyo and Link. Let me know if you have more questions! Maxence Aodyo Instruments

@ghostdic Hey! New acoustic sounds are coming! Also for a glaring sound like an old synthesizer, you can have a look at sound 11 Sylphatty. Sound 20 Classic SquareSaw also does a good job.

Hey! Sorry to get back to you so late, seeing as I believe we covered these topics in our email conversation. The 8 hours charging time before first use it simply to ensure the battery is fully charged and to calibrate it properly. Charging more than 8 hours will not hurt the battery as the charging turns off automatically when the battery is full. In other words, no need to set your alarm! I hope this helps. Maxence Aodyo Instruments

Hey @MusicOne ! Thanks for posting on here to keep the community informed. For everyone else's information, I've had this conversation over email with the OP and have spoken to our developer about it, who confirmed to me that the reverb control functionality will be updated in the next several weeks with one of our upcoming releases. I hope this helps! Maxence Aodyo Instruments

@Support_AODYO Merci pour ces instructions. C'est l'une des procédures les plus originales de remise à zéro que je connaisse, il ne me serait jamais venu à l'idée de faire ça de moi-même (peut-être que ça vaudrait le coup de rajouter ça dans le manuel ou la FAQ). Ceci dit, voilà la situation: j'ai pu finalement mettre à jour le Sylphyo et le Link, mais pas du premier coup. Ma VM Windows 7 n'y arrivant pas, j'ai essayé un Win7 sur une clé USB branchée dans un vieux portable sous Linux, mais ça n'a pas marché non plus. Finalement, j'ai dû installer un Win10 sur clé USB pour ce même portable, et après que Win10 m'ait donné la main (c'est une catastrophe à installer, ce système), j'ai enfin pu faire la mise à jour (en suivant les instructions ci-dessus pour récupérer le Sylphyo). Donc, mes conclusions à ce stade: il est impossible de mettre à jour le Sylphyo sous Linux, que ce soit Wine ou via un VM (sous Win7 ‑ mais vu mon échec avec Win7 en direct, peut-être qu'une VM sous Win10 marcherait, même si j'ai l'impression que le Sylphyo a plus que les 3 identités que j'ai identifié, et donc, c'est pas gagné). À ce stade, et ce jusqu'à ce qu'ont ait plus d'information sur la procédure de mise à jour, il est nécessaire d'avoir un Windows 10 "en direct" (sur disque dur ou clé USB). Peut-être serait-il judicieux d'indiquer dans le manuel ou la FAQ que les utilisateurs Linux doivent avoir accès à un système sous Windows 10 ou Macintosh pour faire les mises à jour. Pour ma part, je vais garder ma clé USB préparée avec Win10 dans un coin pour les mises à jour futures. Summary in English: to my knowledge, it is not possible to upgrade the Sylphyo or the Link using a Linux-based system. Access to a Windows 10 (possibly on a USB stick) or a Macintosh computer is required to upgrade the Sylphyo and the Link. This is likely to be so until detailed explanations on how the upgrade process happens are provided so we can try and configure accordingly.

@troy Thanks, I see you posted this 15 days ago. I'm just now reading it. I live in Vienna, Virginia, U.S. I ordered a Sylphyo online from Aodyo on July 15, 2020. It was stuck in France with their shipper until a few days ago due to a shortage of flights out of France due to COVID-19. Once it left France the package quickly made it to my door. Today is August 3, 2020. It was left outside on my front steps a few hours ago by the U.S. Postal Service, no signature required and no customs charges. Other than the delay, as you wrote, it was indistinguishable from ordered from a U.S. vendor.

@Support_AODYO I was just thinking through this again, and realized that the C fingering I give above is the same as the Eb fingering, which is probably why the original C and C# fingerings were selected. In that case, I think we would additionally need to adjust the Eb fingering above to be: [Left] Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, Pinky. [Right] Index, Middle, Ring which doesn't have an analogue in the clarinet, but would make playing C, C#, D, and Eb (especially in rapid succession) easier.

@Daniel57 said in Trompette et saxophone, du côté de chez SWAM: XpressO Bonsoir, c'est quoi l'XpressO ?

J'ai choisi le Sylphyo (après un EWI 5000) à cause de sa conception et de ses doigtés, proches de la flûte à bec. Utilisé avec le boitier XpressO c'est l'instrument qu'il me fallait. Voir mon site : "https://sarabandes.fr", musiques anciennes, Renaissance, baroque surtout. Les morceaux sont en page privée (à cause de la SACEM) avec un mot de passe. Me contacter en me donnant un e-mail pour les écouter si besoin. I chose the Sylphyo (after an EWI 5000) because of its design and fingerings, which are close to the recorder. Used with the XpressO case it is the instrument I needed. See my website : "https://sarabandes.fr", early music, Renaissance, baroque especially. The pieces are on a private page (because of the SACEM) with a password. Contact me by giving me an e-mail to listen to them if needed.

Cette fonctionnalité paraît simple, mais le diable est dans les détails… Pour que cette proposition puisse avancer, il nous faudrait un peu plus de contexte sur la façon dont cette fonctionnalité pourrait être utilisée, et la façon dont elle s'intégrerait avec le reste des réglages du Sylphyo. Est-ce que ça doit être vraiment un doigté ? Dans ce cas, que se passe-t-il avec le synthé interne ? Comment peut-il interpréter les touches ? Quelle est la finalité ? Avoir accès aux informations de touches pour qu'un programme ou un script (ou un patch Puredata ou Max) puisse utiliser ces informations et transformer tout cela en MIDI plus "raffiné" ? Dans ce cas, ne vaudrait-il pas mieux envoyer des CC ou des SysEx particuliers, vu que ça demande à peu près le même effort pour les traiter et que ça peut être envoyé en parallèle des autres informations que le Sylphyo envoie déjà, sans obliger le musicien à activer ou désactiver ce mode en fonction des besoins ? Ou alors, est-ce que les notes MIDI iront directement dans un synthé ou instrument virtuel sans traitement ? Dans ce cas, j'imagine que chaque utilisateur aura son idée du "mapping" idéal des touches vers les notes. Est-ce qu'il est également utile d'avoir des informations sur la proximité du doigt avec chaque touche ? Parce que c'est possible, mais ça implique aussi beaucoup plus de données MIDI qui circulent. Pour pouvoir répondre à toutes ces questions, il nous serait donc très utile d'avoir le plus d'informations possible sur les contextes d'utilisation imaginés et vos besoins.

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

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.

@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...
