Sylphyo CC

Peter Ostry

While working on my new Sylphyo interface in Max I have seen two things:

Slider values are sent reversed. When I move the thumb up, the value goes down and vice versa. I am not sure if I have noticed this before. Maybe my Sylphyo is in an odd state? Or am I in an odd state myself and just feel it reversed while playing?
The Sylphyo does not send Key-bend CC although this is set in the device.

This is the correct behavior. The slider sends a value proportional to the vertical position of the thumb over it, near 0 being at the top, and near 127 at the bottom. If you need you can just reverse this in Max with an object like expr 127-$i1.
There are two settings pertaining to key-bend CC: the first is in MIDI Mappings and sets the CC that will be sent when doing key-bends. But it can't work until you go to the Keys menu and set Key-bend (BETA) to Control. If everything looks right, please check that you are on the latest firmware version.

ad 1. Slider
Instead of just looking at numbers I tried with playing now ;-)
I agree, starting to modulate from the thumb's position is better.

ad 2. Key-bend CC
Thanks, this works. I will use it. Since I route incoming events in Max, I can now switch Key-bend on/off from there by mapping Key-bend CC to pitchbend or not. Nice.

@join In case you want to fix this:
Breath sends values 0-126 (not 127)
