We're releasing the last Sylphyo update, v1.6.0, with seven new sounds:
- Bass Brass: A bass-focused acoustic trombone- and tuba-like sound based on the Brass model.
- Duduk: A duduk sound with a rich and warm tone, based on the Anyma Phi Windsyo model.
- Sylphinet: A clarinet-like sound with extended range.
- Cylysax: A physical model of a reed instrument with hints of soprano saxophone.
- Sylphoon: A reed instrument sound resembling the pocket sax.
- Flutodica: A responsive flute-like tone that can be morphed into a more free-reed sound.
- Melodyion: A melodica physical model that can morph into accordion-like sounds with a bass voice.

Thank you Jonathan.
I've successfully updated my Sylphyo and Link to v1.6.0 -
Thank you for the update!
Is there something else changed, apart from the new sounds?
Regarding the company thing, well, what can I say - Bonne chance à tous ! -

Is this realy the "last Sylphyo update"?
Means, you will not make new software updates for my beloved Sylphyo?
Best regards and Thanks for the update! -
Anouncement by Aodyo: "The update package contains the update file to transfer to your Sylphyo, the current version of the manual, a readme.txt file with instructions, as well as the current version of the PC/Mac editor for your operating system"
Hm.. Manual has to be downloaded seperately, no readme file. There is a Sylphyo editor??? Never seen one.

Cut and paste error by the person updating the Aodyo website about the Anyma Phi and Sylphyo updates, I suspect? The Anyma Phi has a PC/Mac editor but the Sylphyo doesn't.

Thanks for pointing this out, just fixed this.

@zikojr Yes, there will no longer be Sylphyo updates. The company has closed down yesterday due to bankruptcy.

@join I've installed 1.6.0 on one Sylphyo-Link pair, and it checks out AOK from all the perspective I can think of ...
The New sounds are appreciated. I've always used the Link's internal sounds as backups to the VL70, CraftSynth, and Tooro, but I'm now using them more and more. Kalinka was a wonderful addition, and the I'm sure the new sounds will be put to use. The Cylysax and Melodyion are noticeably more quiet, but now that I'm using a mixer with MIDI control I can set the gain on the Link immediately with a song change without having to "fiddle" with knobs. (I've moved from a laptop-based setup to a Push3S + hardware setup, so all sounds are now "hardware" generated - a big improvement in reliability and latency and workability).
Of course, I am sad to hear about the financial situation, and hope that (no, make that "Know that") everyone in the company will land on their feet. You all have produced the most fantastic wind controller that I could have imagined, and it has greatly enriched my musical universe.
I'm guessing this forum will continue to live (for a while, at least) and I hope that there will be postings about possibilities for maintenance of our instruments down the road ...

@join oh no, is there a way to change the battery or repare the old instruments?
