@Gromit ... one thing to note is that the levels output by the Link may be lower than other units you might be using.

See https://community.aodyo.com/topic/806/link-output-level/6 for a description - @Peter-Ostry reports measuring them in the range of -19dBV to -14dBV.

So, you might want / need to use a microphone input (i.e. with a preamp) rather than a line level input.

@milododds There are many creative solutions for crafting Bell Port plugs! (Make sure they are removable and won't damage the plastic in the bell of the instrument)

PLA = Polylactic Acid, a common thermoplastic polymer used for filament material in 3D printing.

@milododds Thank you for all your kind words!

I should have mentioned the direct link to the Kontakt libraries are now posted on Flutopedia at https://flutopedia.com/soundlib.htm.

@peter-ostry ... Love it!

You have captured every single piece of information that is missing from my documentation. This info lives in a simple text file that I can never locate when needed ... back to the digital drawing board ... thanks for providing an excellent model!

Most folks do YouTube videos for rig rundowns ... I've only gotten as far as drawing some schematics. In case it's helpful to others ...

And I would love to see how others wire up their systems!!

An image of my "Full Rig" (with looper) rig is shown in this post: https://community.aodyo.com/topic/817/dual-link-receivers. Here is the corresponding schematic:

(sorry for the haziness, but I had to compress the image to get under the 512K size limit)

Here are schematics for the smaller setups that I usually use in small settings (Yoga sessions, etc):

Laptop-based:

XpressO based:

If anyone has a setup where they switch between two different Link receivers, I would love to hear your experience.

I have two separate systems - a home desktop-based system and a road rig (see below) - that I switch between often (sometimes many times a day). Unplugging and moving my Link is a bear. If I got a second Link, is it possible to pair to both, or have them somehow both be receiving? Or ... is there a fast pair method?

FYI, here's my current "full monty" road rig.

• The Link is actually below the Strymon Timeline (lower left).
• The Sylphyo is on the back / right in a stand that I 3D-printed ... described here: https://community.aodyo.com/topic/606/floor-stand/6
• Most of the supports are 3D-printed to let me position all the units where I like them.
• All the units are all raised a fair amount to let me set up on a standard tabletop, stand and play and still see and reach everything.
• In practice, I often take a subset of this rig - like just the Link => XpressO => Mixer plus the iPod for a yoga session or similar, or just the Laptop => RME => Mixer for other settings.

@friedus Thanks for the feedback! I am looking into using Decent Sampler (which is free to download) ... but I'm not sure it has all the controls (envelopes and filters) that I use in Kontakt to make these sound libraries work ...

We just posted a very basic Intro to EWIs in general and the Sylphyo in particular. It's for our main audience - Native American flute players who attend our workshops and gatherings. I hope it represents the Sylphyo well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEEfnucCjEU

@marko The charger I received is marked as putting out 2.1 amps, but I personally (i.e. not an official answer here) don't think that a 0.5 amp charger is an issue.

In this post: https://community.aodyo.com/topic/594/charging-indicator/5 ... I measured the current draw by the Sylphyo using a convenient and inexpensive current meter. It appears to max out at 0.17 amp (170 mA), so I think it's OK.

Actually in my current rig, I am charging the Sylpyho in the stand shown in this post: https://community.aodyo.com/topic/606/floor-stand/6 ... but using a generic 1/2 amp USB charger and it works fine for me.

@peter-ostry That wonderfully clears things up ... thank you for the info!
