Hi,

I will try to answer your questions concerning the Ketron SD2:

1. That's right, connection is MIDI OUT from Sylphyo receiver to MIDI IN on Ketron.
2. You can change sound by selecting a Program Change directely on the Sylphyo (quick settings menu).
3. I don't think that is possible.
4. For now that can not be done with the Sylphyo (you can only choose the first 128 sounds of the first bank) even though the other banks are quite a repetition of the first one.
5. Ketron SD2 works with CC11 for breath. For other CCs, there are not so much possible modulations on the sounds, but you can remap the Sylphyo if you find some you like.

Le synthé sur lequel nous travaillons actuellement est bien un module de son pour le Sylphyo, qui sera interne et externe. De dimensions réduites, il n'aura pas la puissance d'un ordinateur, nécessaire pour faire tourner les moteurs SWAM.

Hi,

Thanks for these kind words!

• For now fingerings cannot be customized. We are aiming to include this option in our software.

• Key bend feature is still a beta feature. It is stable enough to realize precise bends. Sensitivity and range are not avaible to set yet, so it seems hard use it as new fingering.

• Overblow can be obtained with most of virtual instruments or synths.

• Active mouthpiece project is still alive, also for now we concentrate on the release of our synth.

Bonsoir,
Il y aura bien un stand Aodyo au MusikMesse de Francfort cette année.
Nous n'avons pas encore les détails de l'organisation mais ne manquerons pas de vous tenir informés dès que ça se précise.

We do not have a Roland XV5050, but after some investigation on the user manual, here is the MIDI implementation :

CC75 (elevation movement of the Sylphyo) controls decay time of the sound, that may feel like sticking notes.
One more thing: you may swith your sounds to monophonic rather than polyphonic to avoid stiking notes:

Today we have been testing the Ketron SD2 sound module (less than 300€) and it is quite convincing with the Sylphyo.

Bonjour,
À notre connaissance, les instruments Dualo ne possèdent qu'une sortie MIDI mais pas d'entrée.
Bonne journée

Bonjour,

Concernant les VST de flûte, si vous avez Kontakt (pas le player) vous pouvez essayer ceci :

Plus onéreux mais de haute qualité, les instruments SWAM sont la référence sur le marché :

Sinon, le Sylphyo étant MIDI il peut piloter la plupart des expandeurs du marché.

I am not a flute player (or just a bad recorder one) but as I meet many musicians who start using the Sylphyo, I could make some answers:

• The horizontal / vertical position switch doesn't seem to be a problem.
• Setting the flute fingering on the Sylphyo allows flute players to use their usual fingering technique.
• Concerning the mechanism of blowing, Sylphyo's mouthpiece is quick to master and allows good breath dynamics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsQujn7dPY8
