      The basic problem: Selecting octaves is "sticky," which means that the same fingering can yield different notes at different times.

      For example, suppose I play the following:

      A (left thumb in center position, and left index and middle fingers down)
      High D (left middle finger down, all others up)
      High A (left thumb in top position, left index and middle fingers down)
      High D again (left middle finger down, all others up)

      When I play high D the second time, the Sylphyo has remembered that my thum was in the top position, so that D sounds an octave higher than the first one.

      This behavior is un-recorderlike, to say the least!

        I tried this. But by me everything works right.

          i think the top octave . and the bottom octave go one hiher, cq lower than expected.

          this way two octave are added to the range.

          regard

            After a little more investigation: High D is played by lifting the left thumb entirely. When I do that, it plays D in whatever octave was associated with the most recent note.

            That means that exactly the same fingering can produce any of several different notes, depending on what I was doing before that.
