Addition to Native Flute fingerings
-
I would like to request an addition to the two Native Flute fingerings for the next firmware release. I had previously made these requests directly though Maxence ... hope it is OK to post these on the forum ...
The updated YML file has tags for 15Mar22 to identify the updates. There are a total of 3 additions which really consist of a single additional fingering. The YML file (containing both Native Flute and Native Flute+ fingerings) is available at: https://Goss.com/yml/naf.sylphyomap.yml
The details are: 15Mar22 CG Add <xxo|xxo (previously unused) to play the perfect fifth above <xxx|xxx. This was suggested by flutemaker Rick Svitzer, to avoid a two-handed fingering "swap" when going between <xxo|xoo and <xxx|ooo when playing in Mode 4. Rick tunes his flutes with this cross-fingerings. This also make sense for Mode 4 fingering in, for example, the descending scale sequence:
<ooo|xoo <xoo|xoo <xxo|xoo <xxo|xxo <xxo|xxx <xxx|xxo <xxx|xxx octave b7 b6 5 4 b3 1 -
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 :).

@join I've just realized that the 1.5.0 Sylphyo firmware no longer has this additional fingering - <xxo|xxo for the two Native Flute fingerings. It did appear in the 1.4.9b5 firmware, but is not in the latest firmware.
Would it be possible to get an update to the 1.5.0 firmware with this fingering restored? I use this fingering all the time in a few songs (being done at a gig this weekend) and could really use it.
This affects the Native Flute (Basic) and Native Flute+ (Extended) fingerings. The YML is available at: https://Goss.com/yml/naf.sylphyomap.yml

This issue with v1.5.0 has been cleared up.
Received a firmware update (in three hours!!) and it addresses this issue completely ...

Thank you, Clint. I was missing that fingering, too. I use it a lot on my flutes.

@edwardkort Not sure if they updated the firmware version on the Aodyo web site ... the version number has not changed from 1.5.0, so it's hard to tell ...

Just checked the firmware download page and the Sylphyo firmware seems to be the latest, based on the file size (which changed from the original 1.5.0 to the update with this fingering restored).
The size of the firmware with this update shows in Windows Explorer as 14,965 KB.

I can confirm that the download file size of the macOS version of the Sylphyo (and Link) firmware version 1.5.0 on Aodyo's website, has also grown a little bit larger since the 12 September 2023 version.
