Hi @dborgo

The Sylphyo needs full range amplification. A stage monitor or the like. So not a Keyboard amp, Guitar amp etc.
Rather speaker/amp combination fit for monitoring : On stage.

Studio monitoring is something else.

I always use a full range set of 12" Tannoys. Big stages hey are my personal monitors, small events the whole band plays over them. I must admit i am a huge Tannoy fan. True HIFI sound. I also use them in the studio.
To me an investment which lasts a life time.

the QSC k series are a modern compact unit: expandable ( add a sub woofer) for bigger venues. The built in dsp functions makes it flexible and versatile.

The Bose missed the boat. If they would team up with more than 3 it would be something...

Kind regards

Frank

@FlynnFoleo Thanks for reporting !

My Sylphyo just arrived : and indeed i would suggest a flute cleaning brush

continuing with setup : The Sylphyo and the virtual instruments

If you are a Brecker fan, Arturia has the Oberheim Matrix 12, with the exact Michael Becker chords!

Rays Tribute is the name

Kind regards

Great !

after your response i can set my goals even higher!!

I really appreciate your level of openness. I do not expect support for linux and i will share experiences !

Do you have an open roadmap ? A secret one ?

On my wish-list would be a reed like mouthpiece: so i can start a note at any pitch :but we will discuss that in due time.

Now i am waiting for the message when my Sylphyo will arrive

Good time to order Respiro.

Thank Join

Frank

I found this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeQnAdzUxvU

The Sylphyo has no corrosion problems, but for hygienic reasons i would clean it after use.

Waiting for mine to be shipped

Kind regards

While gentle hands are Packing my Sylvyo - would have loved to cycle there to pick up myself - Dutch do everything on a bike.

I make a planning and and share - always good to share knowledge.

I think and i hope the internal sounds are just rough instruments, which you have to learn how to play, make them your own like a real Instrument. I remember when i got my first sax, summertime i played after an hour, but it took years and years to create my own tone. Expect the Sylpyo to be the same. With the WX7 it took me three years of tuning, learning, making the sound-engine behave what i want, to be able to say : what is in my head comes out of the instrument.

And learn a proper fingering: half fingering looks exciting: can i make a b-flat with a b and half fingered a?

Than i am going to break the law: No more extra instruments - you have too many already.
I am going to get Respiro from Rudy Verpaele : https://www.imoxplus.com/site/
Through him I became aware of the Sylpyo.

VIP from Akai wil be my VST host and librarian. One can make multi s ( Up to 8 sounds) and set-lists. sounds are categorized. In order to load a sound one selects mellow alto: and all mellow alto's are show : from every plugin. So no more searching for the sound i used in. Was it Reaktor? Synclavier ?
The program is great and costs near nothing ( 69 )

Than i am going to check out if the VL70-m is still a valid addition : if yes, I will get the VLwizard from Inmox /aka Rudy Verpaele.

I am still undecided what hardware i will use for life play.

If i am in control i will start linking Syplpyo with the Linux

If one has any questions or suggestions, welcome. I it is easyer : use your native tongue: French, Dutch, Vlaams, German, Bern Platte, Swahili

Kind regards

From the manual ( or the website) I understand that The Sylphyo and the link receiver both have a synth engine.
Do the operate together?

Or solo : No link the Sylphyo engine: with Link receiver , only the engine in the Link receiver

Can one access them with an external controller ?
A controller which generates midi data , like Keith mcmillens Softstep ?

I will not mind if you refer to a manpage

Or answer in French or Swahili ;)

Kind regards

Hi
I am Frank, from the Netherlands, Delft to be exact. Feel free to get in touch if you feel like passing by.
Since we are a small country, we have to understand our neighbors languages. Which roughly means we think we speak a lot of many.
My French is good in reading, but speaking and writing soso. Reason I never had a French only speaking girlfriend, after all this is why we all learn a language. So now you know why people consider me a linguist. Yes they were all lovely

I had a false start with Sylpyo, no two or three.
The first is that i became aware of her just two weeks ago: Rudy, who makes the great editor for the VL70-m, has launched a new physical modelling program Respiro https://www.imoxplus.com/site/index.php

Rudy states that it is Sylphyo compatible : and my nature is to correct other peoples mistakes, not my own, I looked for Sylvia , no not google, DuckDuckgo . Found a silly toy, for kids, and a Remi who was ready to show scale on it for a recorder.
After that i switched to some tutorials, there they persisted to make me aware of one of the big flaws of Silvia , ehh Sylphyo : 8 hours of charging. Again and again.

I decided that if it has a battery, a tutorial, maybe it also has a manual !

And i found it : and the wow moments changed my initial irritations in a smile! Controllers so many! Bigger and bigger smiles . and i found a forum. With knowledgeable and helpful people ( Like join) . They love input :and have a roadmap. and they tell sorry this not yet !

and i heard people play sounds they have not mastered yet ! And Pedro who makes lovely crazy constructions like me.

So I bought one ! I am a proud owner !! Have not touched or played one yet. No I do not complain shipping does now work on a Saturday or Sunday.

Sure i have questions, do not worry :and i hope to contribute here ! after all sharing is

Kind regards

Frank
