      For the trumpet fingering, would it be possible to configure the Sylphyo to use the tilt/elevation to change the harmonic instead of the left thumb? For example, with no values pressed, a trumpet player changes from low C to middle G solely by pressing the lips tighter together. Having to use one's left thumb as a replacement for the tightening of the lips makes it difficult for a trumpet player (me) to learn. That's how most or all wind controllers do it. If raising the end of the Sylphyo higher could do the same harmonic change, I think that would feel more natural and would make it easier for brass players to use the Sylphyo.

        Cool idea for using tilt! At the moment it would be a bit difficult for us to implement but we can keep it in mind for the future.
