      Hello,
      It seems that the possibility to send program changes with the two buttons below the octaves ones has been removed in the last firmware.
      Am I wrong ?
      Is there another way to do it with such a facility ?
      Thanks.

        You can still send program changes with the middle octave Quick Setting: press the Aodyo key and the middle octave key at the same time using your left hand, and you'll be able to select a program number using the settings key (the two buttons below the octave keys) or using the slider (by sliding upwards or downwards). You can use the same gesture (with the other octave keys) to change the base key or the MIDI channel.

          Yes, I have seen that, but it is not very pratical, like to have just to press a touch to change the sound. It breaks completely the play and makes it impossible to switch between two sounds...

          Do you think that you could add the previous feature available as an option ?

          Or even better make these two buttons have their own MIDI mapping ?
          That would be very convenient for a lot of purposes (at least for me !).

            Could you describe a bit more the kind of things you'd like to achieve?

            In the previous versions (≤0.1.0) you just had to press either settings key to change the MIDI Channel or to send a Program Change, but after lots of users reporting unwanted switches during performance we decided to put this in a Quick Setting.
            And starting from version 1.0.0, we repurposed the settings key during normal performance to give you two additional octaves. We're thinking about providing more options for octave and setting key management in future updates, so maybe it'll be possible to re-assign the settings keys to a MIDI channel/program change.

            We find the Quick Setting gesture to be fast enough to perform rapidly between two musical phrases (after a bit of training), but I agree with you that you can't really switch between two sounds in a single musical phrase, for instance. Currently, to do this, we prefer to use a slider CC and morph between two (or more) sounds.

            We're willing to look for other ways to quickly change sounds while playing, either with some keys or with gestures, but we haven't tested and confirmed a good solution yet.

              (je continue en français, c'est trop difficile pour moi de m'expliquer en anglais, désolé...)

              Effectivement, je n'ai pas testé la version précédente et je comprends bien que ça ait pu poser des problèmes.
              Pour moi, c'est la nécessité de pouvoir changer de programme dans le cours du jeu, éventuellement entre deux notes.
              Je sais que j'ai certaines habitudes prises avec l'EWI 5000 que je ne dois pas chercher à retrouver avec le Sylphyo, mais il y avait deux petits boutons programmables très accessible qui permettaient de faire ça instantanément et d'une manière fiable.
              Je peux bien-sûr changer le code de certaines notes en réception ou utiliser les zones du slider, mais puiqu'il y a des boutons physiques et que la fonction existait précédemment, je me disais...

              Je conçois bien aussi qu'il est important pour vous de ne pas offrir trop d'options pour ne pas surcharger l'édition tant qu'elle ne se fait que sur l'instrument.

                Tenez-nous au courant si vous arrivez à une solution acceptable avec la version actuelle. Lorsque nous aurons quelque chose de nouveau de ce côté, nous serions très contents d'avoir votre avis (probablement sur une version bêta d'abord).

                  Merci !
                  Je crois que dans un premier temps ce sera en utilisant les zones extrêmes du slider, même si c'est un peu risqué.
