      Switching breath control (in MIDI mapping menu on the Sylphyo) from MIDI CC2 to MIDI CC11 should do the trick and provide some expression control on Kontakt Sounds

      @Comrade I have recommended Ketron soundbox elsewhere on this list, and tin whistle and many other flutes are there, here is the EWI USB version. Sylphyo will be similar.

      The internal sounds won't feature realistic imitations of acoustic instruments like the SWAM, because it's very hard to do and would consume tremendous power. The sounds are rather optimized for playability and expressiveness, and we try to cover a wide sound palette. Most of the first sounds are a combination of VA and physical modelling synthesis.

      The offer will gradually expand as we release new sounds and open the sound engine.

      If your computer and audio interface are good, you can get to very small latencies. It'll still be higher than the most direct path, which will be from the Sylphyo to its upcoming internal soundcard to its headphone jack, but fortunately you're not likely to perceive the difference if you have good equipment.

      Here's a quick recap of the respective latencies induced by each element (as a rule of thumb, as it's a bit more complex in reality):

      wireless system: less than 1ms USB-MIDI: at least 1ms, up to 10ms depending on your OS and computer computer audio: from 2ms to around 10ms for USB audio interfaces, but less than 2ms can be achieved with Thunderbolt/PCI/PCIe audio interfaces, a powerful computer and good settings

      So in this gross estimate, at best, you could achieve 3-4ms latency (and a slight bit of jitter) with a very good fine-tuned computer, from the moment the Sylphyo outputs a MIDI message to the moment the computer outputs sound. When the internal synth is available, this latency collapses to a constant 1,5ms. It's unlikely you can hear the difference between both
      cases, but maintaining this kind of performance with a computer is hard.

      If you have a MIDI synth you can connect to the wireless receiver, you just add 1ms to the synth's own latency, so that can be good.

      The main point is: when it comes to latency, the wireless system is not the bottleneck, because it has been designed specifically to this purpose and seems to do its job well.

      First there will be a fixed selection of sounds that are designed to harness the whole potential of the instrument (so many nuances possible). We'll regularly add new sounds through software updates. Then, gradually, we'll open the synth engine for edition and creation of user sounds.
