      Would it be possible to extend the Windsyo oscillators down to a low Bb? I.e. two semitones / half steps lower than the lowest C they currently play?

      They're my favourite part of the anyma phi but I'm playing them on a Yamaha WX5 (sax-like) wind controller, which has keys to play down to a low Bb, like most types of saxophone. I keep trying to play a low B, without thinking about it, and getting silence.

      I've noticed the Windsyo sounds can't be bent much below the low C without going silent too, so it might be better if they could play as low as the A, or even the Ab, to allow for bending - I can play the WX5 comfortably with two semitones of pitch bend down available, but on the low C, those sounds cut out almost as soon as I try to bend down from it.

      Is there a fundamental reason why they have to stop on a C as the lowest note in their range, or is it just part of the fact that they were made for the Sylphyo?

        @andyhornblower Thanks for your suggestion.
        The issue with that, is that we designed the physical model to play well in a certain range. And while we could feasibly extend it a few semitones lower, it becomes a slippery slope, as we need to rework the physical model to include lower tones, which then prompts people to ask why we can't go even lower, etc.

        I hope this makes sense, we will consider your request as much as we are able but can't promise anything to that end. Let me know if you have any further questions.
