@bibenu

Thanks - the visuals are a huge help in seeing how useful these cables could be.

Have ordered them all now.

I'm the one who did the recordings and the sound programming/adaptations and...
I live in Amsterdam and would love to get in contact with other Sylphyo player for experiance exchange...
share do's and donts

Please send us a mail to support@aodyo.com, with the version of the Anyma Phi firmware you're using, as well as the exact version of Windows and as much detail on your hardware as possible.

@fanch35 Personally, I think that some kind of breath adjustment is a requirement for the Sylphyo. I cannot imagine not playing without some restriction in the Bell Port.

If you surf around this forum, you will find numerous schemes for controlling breath volume and back pressure. I've posted a set of 3D printer files on Thingiverse. You can see all things related to the Sylphyo (by myself and others) with a search: https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=sylphyo&type=things&sort=relevant

However, I think your initial issue is still valid: there is a notable difference in volume across the internal sounds ... even with a breath restrictor ...

+1 :) This would be very useful !

@bibenu said in Bug with editor import ?:

Well, the messages on the screen certainly suggest that's happening,

Sorry, I left it a bit unclear. Though the messages suggest the patch is being saved, it is not being saved. if you go to another patch, and come back, all you get is an initialised patch (sine wave). The only thing that has been saved is the name of the imported patch, everything else is gone.

@join ... wow thanks 4 that fast and comprehensive answer about my first comment..

my second comment about phy editor
please make something with update of the editor

if i didn't explain my proposal comprehensively I'll try again

@peter-ostry ...yes I also would love to play with a pianist who tunes 432 (a philosophical discussion)

but I believe the sylphyo should/has to be microtunable

@join Thanks for that!

Been playing with Reaction Time and Reaction Time Octaves and I'm getting the feeling that Reaction Time Octaves only comes in to play when I move from one thumb pad to another. My issue seems to occur mostly when I lift my thumb (and simultaneously change fingering on the front side).

In the fingering I'm using, lifting the thumb goes up an octave ... but this seems to use the Reaction Time delay and not the Reaction Time Octaves delay. Is that correct??

One solution is to introduce a very slight articulation to interrupt the airflow. I've started doing this subconsciously and this reduces artifacts (pops and beeps) substantially.

Merci pour la réponse, Je prend déjà le "Warn if unsaved" !
J'avoue que je serai ravi de l'amélioration du temps de passage entre les presets, ça m'évitera d'avoir une note entre 2 preset... :)

Maxence just forwarded the requests to me, so you can just send me a mail directly.

I've sent you one with a link to a beta to help you check your fingering updates, so that you have my address :).

Sorry, but our desktop software does not support Linux (and even if we provide a Linux build of the latest Anyma Phi editor, we do not offer support for it).
If it doesn't appear to work with the latest version of wine, your best bet would probably be running it on a virtual machine.

Please send an email to support@aodyo.com about this and include pictures of the entire Diagnostics screen, which is located at the bottom of the Settings menu.

@join
Hi,
Thanks for your response. It looks like the issue was that you need to turn "scale" up as well as the amount for it to work.

@bo2 Here is another configuration that I use when I am programming the VL70-m from an editor on my laptop:

(click on the image for a larger / more detailed version)

OK, thank you for the reply.

We had a similar issue pop up a week ago with the latest macOS security updates.
I'll send you a mail from our customer support with instructions on how to solve this.

@meo Yes I meant range. Set it to 3000 (max). Set the minimum to 30. in MIDI mapping set BC to CC2 and Velocity to Dynamic. If still no change, try RESET (last menu item) and repeat.... Also have you checked the fingering chart for the instrument you have chosen. (under KEYS/Fingering). Good luck.... It seems a pity to give up so quickly...

@join Thank you.

@join GG et merci à tout ceux qui participent à ce projet ;)

@join

I did some more testing and I'm sure it is coming form Phi. Out both phones and L and R out. I tried reducing both FX on the patch but it is still crackling. I'll try to get the MIDI exported from the Deluge so you can see. I can also provide a sound file if you wish.

@peter-ostry Thanks Peter! Part of what I am thinking is suggestion number 2 of @gbarcza :

"a finger velocity sensivity adjustment to filter out unwanted bending while normal playing"

... along with maybe an addition setting to not begin key-bending until some percentage of the pad is uncovered.

The act of key bending on physical open-hole flutes is sooo natural and common that I think it would provide a very direct means of expressivity to a significant percentage of potential Sylphyo players ...

Making use of CC's to accomplish key-bending is (I'm thinking out loud here ...) maybe not so straightforward ... such a system would need to know which base key is in effect in order to determine which pair of notes we are bending from (easy - the prior Note On) and to (challenging - where is the target note??)

Wow, that's fantastic - the most incredible update ever. It would take a lifetime to try all these functions!

It's available again.

@bibenu You're welcome :)

@mickglossop said in AnimaPhi Editor Import Patches / Bank doesn't work:

• When importing a patch, it seems necessary to manually select a new empty patch slot,. Otherwise the current slot will be overwritten. Please make the import command automatically load into a new empty slot.

Good point. Import Patch has now been added to the context menu for each patch slot, so you can say where to put it. That works for me, but maybe it should now also be taken off the File menu, so you have to specify where you want it to go.

@Clint Thanks for all the very detailed analyses you made. As soon as I get a sizeable chunk of free time, I intend to carefully read them all from the beginning and contribute tests that can help us understand what's going on and get to the bottom of this.

@steviek Nobody else of Aodyo can comment on this particular issue, unfortunately, but we're reading everything posted. It's just that I can only do one thing at a time, and such a question deserves proper treatment and will take time to answer. Sorry that we've not been very good for giving a sense of where we are and where we are heading to. I hope we'll be able to communicate a bit more often from this point on.

I received a replacement anyma phi, earlier, from or via Juno. This one seems to be working fine. Thanks.

We have a few new things for a new Sylphyo update but couldn't yet find the time to finalize them. This post offers a bit more perspective on what's been going on for us in 2021.
While I'm sure 2022 comes with its own set of challenges, the wrap-up of the v1.0 of the Anyma Phi will likely free us some time.

The last public version (v0.8.107) offers a set of MIDI routing options (in the Routing submenu of the MIDI section), including DIN Thru.

When this option is enabled, everything on the DIN MIDI input port will be copied as-is to the DIN MIDI output port, with the lowest latency possible.
However, as this could result in MIDI messages being interleaved if several things merge onto the DIN MIDI output, the v1.0 beta offers an additional Safe merge option that ensures all MIDI messages are output without any possible garbling/interleaving.

Thanks for sharing your settings. As soon as we get a copy of the SWAM v3 instruments, we'll release a new guide.

I am wondering if anyone has looked into the suggestion of @vincent (earlier in this thread) that

it was not moisture as such, the problem, but salt one.

I have had one situation where I started getting erratic notes. I swabbed down my fingers and all the finger pads on the Sylphyo with a slightly damp cloth. It worked immediately and completely to resolve the erratic behavior. However, since it was only a single test, I have not reported it before.

In other cases of erratic notes - they only happen when I first turn on the Sylphyo and I usually just "wiggle my fingers" for maybe 5-10 seconds and the erratic notes disappear and never return during play.

Would love to hear if other have experimented with this ... as @vincent points out, erratic notes could be a real show-stopper ...

@join re "expected behaviour" yes, I can totally understand how it came about, but as you say, it's not ideal ... particularly with the change in the mapping which is away on another 'screen' you're not looking at. It's a completely unexpected change in the scenario I outlined. I thought that first note in the chord was not being detected and I started messing with keyboard connections, before I discovered the real cause.

@steviek .....and in different keys (but only 12, not 16 :-))

Perhaps the Direct Laser Interference Patterning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0VP3uAVDa8) could be interesting.

@join I see it (just upgraded). Thank you :)

New Sylphyo user (Sylphist?), old and very rusty clarinetist here. I like this proposal a lot. Esp. the alternate for low C/C#.

@laurent_aodyo said in Low volume on Sylphyo link headphone jack:

Phones output rather than in the LineOut output

So the LineOut output seems to operate around -19 to -14 dBV (see this Related Post).

Could anyone say what the levels are on the Phone port?

Thanks @peter-ostry ... good to know it's on my end ... it's driving me crazzzy ...

@support_aodyo Can you provide the impedances on the input and output audio channels?

Just released the Chill Nite album from this concert – free for streaming and download at ClintGoss.Bandcamp.com.

I played the first five tracks live over a sparse nature soundscape. I played the last three tracks live, supported by the recorded music of my mentor, David Darling, pianist Alexander Nakarada, and the drone sounds of a particular species of “drumming fish”.

Virtual versions of real-world instruments include Native American flutes, clarinet, oboe, cello, mandolin, tubular bells, chimes, Armenian duduk, bansuri, and silver flute. I also played virtual-only instruments: Heaven Bells, Respiro (Desert Wind), EVI-NER, Marble, and Matt Traum’s IndiaFlute and Beauty.

@tsukaï-ban Comme l'a dit @bibenu, une recalibration pourrait améliorer les choses. D'ailleurs, si vous pouviez noter les valeurs qui étaient présentes dans l'écran de calibration, ça me serait bien utile ! Merci.
