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.

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

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

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.

@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...

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.

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

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.

@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.

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

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

Le problème a été résolu, vous pouvez télécharger la mise à jour corrigée sur https://www.aodyo.com/mises-a-jour-page-22.html

Eh voilà, le pas est franchi, je suis en possession d'un XPressO, et TOUT FONCTIONNE sans aucun réglage de branchement au Sylphyo.
Je me régale avec les nombreux sons à explorer....
Reste maintenant à confirmer ce mariage heureux pour garder les réglages que je vais commencer à expérimenter.
Merci à Franck, à Fred, et à ceux qui m'ont répondu gentiment et efficacement pour me conseiller.

Well, the step is taken, I am in possession of an XPressO, and EVERYTHING WORKS without any adjustment of connection to the Sylphyo.
I enjoy the many sounds to explore ....
Now remains to confirm this happy marriage to keep the settings that I will start to experience.
Thank you to Franck, to Fred, and to those who answered me kindly and effectively to advise me.

Bonjour,
Pour contrôler le vibrato grâce au roulis, il faudrait à mon avis regarder dans le manuel du Waldorf pulse 2 et ensuite changer la valeur cc du roulis dans le Sylphyo pour correspondre à celle du pulse 2. Je ne connais pas bien ce synthétiseur mais je pense que cela doit être possible tant que le pulse 2 peut recevoir une valeur de vibrato (midi cc 1 normalement ?).

Hello Troy,
Thank you for letting us know about this error.
I will pass it on and we will try to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Flutter-tongue, really? I have been doing that on EWI for decades! It is so very easy. Try growling. It also works well on EWI, especially on the older analog-styled 3000m to 3030 modules.

@troy

I was very pleased to feel the initial response , just playing the first time: Impressive dynamic range with breath. And one can tune it to a playing style so much. When i started i used a single sound for weeks : Just a flute like thing: from pppp up.
Paramater tweaking helped me a lot by making a table : with comments of results. Later i will add sounds getting the CC right.
It is a joy and fun and serious work: but you can adapt unlike ...

Happy new year too !

Kind regards

Frank
