@david-lazzi said in How about a Sylphyo update now?:

@join
1- I'd like to see an improvement on the key bend too.
2- I use the Sylphyo with just a speaker for musical awakening. So I use the built-in sounds and I would be happy to have new ones.
3- I'd like to change the diapason too, for more flexibility when I play with acoustic instruments.
4- I play arab music and micro-tonality would be good.
5- I was revived twice about the chalumeau fingering : could you tell me if I will be able to test what I wrote for you on a beta version?
Thanks

Edit
On number 4- I'm not precise enough : I'd like an acoustic mico-tonality with special fingerings to reach a half b or an half # like on a recorder for example. But a "button" in the menu to transform all Eb fingerings in E half b for example, would be great too, the same way like on a keyboard.
I forgot a number 6- A place in the menu to save different personalized settings.

@gromit I use the piccolo swab from BG -> https://www.bgfranckbichon.com/fr/ecouvillon/81-corps-de-l-instrument-microfibre-a39.html

@gibis Je n'apporte pas grand chose mais je suis dans la même situation. J'aimerais travailler de la musique baroque mais je n'ai pas trouvé comment changer le diapason sur le Sylphyo.

@peter-ostry At first I had the same feeling, the more I use it, the more comfortable I am with it. The Sylphyo Bench is a good tool to see what's happening while I'm playing and improve my technique. something inspiring -> Youtube Video

@support_aodyo said in Blocking the Bell Port:

@david-lazzi Natural growl is a very difficult parameter to work with in electronic instruments so we don't know if we will be able to make it work fully.

OK no problem, I see this technique as a plus, not as a necessity for every sound. I just wanted to complete my 1st post, and I think it's worth noting for players even if it's not an official feature.

@david-lazzi said in Blocking the Bell Port:

@Support_AODYO OK, So I will therefore train more on flutter tongue with a piece of tape on the bell port. About the growl, you make me doubt. I sent you back the Sylphyo a couple of days ago and I can't check it. As far as I can remember, when I purr like a cat while I'm blowing, the sounds of the Sylphyo reacts very well. The Sylphyo sounds the same way like a clarinet mouthpiece, a kind of dirty but fluid sound. I'll record myself as soon as I get my Sylphyo back.

I got my Sylphyo back and I was able to test the growl technique again. I confirm that it works perfectly on certain sounds such as #33 Synthbrass'80 and not at all on others like #29 Alto Sax Phi. For me the sound scratches with a kind of deterioration, on the contrary of what the "Elevation control" produces in sound #17 Sylphyridoo. If anyone is interested I can make recordings of the internal sounds for reference and post them on a new dedicated thread. But coming back to this thread, when I use a plastic dowel (I don't have the official breath adjustment kit yet) to reduce the opening, I have to change the settings in "Breath" to make it work again. Thanks Aodyo for the table -> https://www.aodyo.com/user-manual-page-en-21.html#section-playing-the-sylphyo.breath-resistance which saved me time!

@fanch35 Idem : 80% max voire moins pour certains sons. Essaie peut-être un casque ouvert, je pense que ça peut aider.

@fanch35 Bonjour, pour ma part je n'arrive pas a utiliser un seul et unique son interne au casque : Flute Phy #30. Même en diminuant le volume au plus bas. Dans ce cas je pense que c'est lié au timbre ou à une fréquence que je ne supporte pas avec un casque Ultrasone pro 900. A voir en changeant le casque...

@badblocks Thanks for the tip. I live close to Paris and I feel a little guilty ordering halfway around the world (China) ... I will probably try FIMO or rubber hose at first.
