RE: Link and PC
@fanch35
Thank you.
You'll have to ask other folks about your PC with Windows 10. I don't own that type of computer so I cannot help. -

In Phase 3, to get Respiro's sound out of the Link's "Phones" socket, connect an audio lead from the PC's audio out socket to the Link's "Line In" socket.Regarding, "Clint' reference : why don't I get sounds from "A@L" out with signals S' ?". This connection is MIDI data only (and power over USB). No audio over USB.

RE: Link and PC
@fanch35
In Phase1, there should be no sound coming out of the Link's "Phones" socket when "Silent (MIDI Ctrl)" is selected as the sound on the Sylphyo.The "Silent (MIDI Ctrl)" sound was part of Sylphyo Firmware update 1.4.8
As you probably know, the Link has its own synthesiser "sound engine" chip. The wireless link between the Sylphyo and the Link is for data only. No analogue audio sound is sent from the Sylphyo to the Link. When the sound is changed at the Sylphyo, a program change, data message is sent wirelessly over to the Link where the Link's synth chip gets set to the same sound as on the Sylphyo. The volume of the sound output from the Link's synth chip matches the volume set at the Sylphyo.
Both the Sylphyo and the Link need to be running Sylphyo Firmware update 1.4.8. Your Link may be running an earlier firmware version? Hence this is why you hear a sound from the Link's "Phones" socket rather than silence.
The Sylphyo Firmware update 1.4.8 also contained two other new sounds in addition to Silent (MIDI Ctrl), Synthbrass 80's and Resozen.
I suggest that you select either Synthbrass 80's or Resozen on the Sylphyo and check whether you hear these particular sounds coming out from the Link's "Phones" socket? If not, then you'll need to update the firmware in the Link to Sylphyo Firmware update 1.4.8. Available at this link on Aodyo's web site.On my own Sylphyo and Link, which I know are running Sylphyo Firmware update 1.4.8, I hear no sound in my headphones connected to the Link's "Phones" socket when I have the Silent (MIDI Ctrl) sound selected on my Sylphyo.

RE: How about a Sylphyo update now?
@join Perhaps Aodyo might help the folks creating the Photon mouthpiece project?
Could the Sylphyo's firmware be amended so that the the Photon could be connected into the Sylphyo's mini-USB socket?
Maybe the Photon's MIDI data stream could be merged into the Sylphyo's MIDI wireless data stream flowing over to the Sylphyo Link box?
USB power out of the Sylphyo's mini-USB to power the Photon would be good too?
Here's a YouTube video of an early prototype Photon mouthpiece being used with a Sylphyo. The sound is coming from the Respiro software synth.

RE: Cleaning Swab for Sylphyo
@david-lazzi said in Cleaning Swab for Sylphyo:
@gromit I use the piccolo swab from BG -> https://www.bgfranckbichon.com/fr/ecouvillon/81-corps-de-l-instrument-microfibre-a39.html
I bought one of the Hodge Silk Oboe Swabs suggested by Clint, from Amazon USA. So far that has worked fine for me but your suggestion of the piccolo swab from BG is useful too.

RE: United States Import Duty
@jimhanks said in United States Import Duty:
@jdickerson
That sounds excessive. I just took delivery of a flute from the UK and got a duty bill for $53 total on a $1400 invoice.The UK is no longer a part of the EU so therefore cannot be used in any comparison of import duty costs of goods arriving into the USA from an EU country such as France. A separate trade agreement is in place between the UK and the USA nowadays.
In addition electronic equipment may be charged at a different rate than a purely acoustic instrument like a flute. -
RE: playing sylphyo without the hands
@jimhanks said in playing sylphyo without the hands:
perhaps a MIDI harmonica? https://www.lekholminstruments.com/
Would a Lekholm DM48 MIDI harmonica fit into a harmonica holder for hands-free use?

"Remarque : ces banques de sons ont été spécialement conçues pour être utilisées avec un contrôleur de vent ou un contrôleur de souffle et nécessitent donc l'un de ces appareils pour une utilisation appropriée. Ces sons nécessitent un contrôleur continu MIDI n°2 (contrôleur de respiration) pour produire n'importe quel son. Si vous n'avez pas de contrôleur de vent ou de souffle, vous ne pourrez probablement pas utiliser ces sons." Google Translate - je ne parle pas le francais

@gromit
The linked mouthpiece swab won't work. You need more fabric, longer cords, and a weight at one end.I use Oboe swabs and they work well.
So from the BG France Oboe Swabs range maybe the A36B swab would be good for the Sylphyo?
