@ahiotis Have you connected your headphones into the Link's headphone socket? Yes, I know that you will probably need a convertor as the Link's headphone socket is ¼" (6mm).

RE: How to update Sylphyo and Link?
@MusicOne Use the same mini-USB to USB-A cable which you used to update your Sylphyo to update the Link too. Plug the mini-USB into the USB Power Supply socket on the Link and the USB-A into your computer. The USB-A socket on the Link is a USB Host socket.
Here's an extract from the Sylphyo User Guide - Link / Rear Panel connections (section 4.1.2)
"USB host port (USB A). Connect a USB-MIDI controller to play the LINK as a synthesizer, or use your Sylphyo to wirelessly control a synth that takes USB-MIDI input.
USB power supply port (USB Mini-B). Provides power to your LINK. Also allows you to use your Sylphyo as a wireless MIDI controller to control virtual instruments on your computer, smartphone or tablet.". -
RE: Addition to Native Flute fingerings
@Clint said in Addition to Native Flute fingerings:
Just checked the firmware download page and the Sylphyo firmware seems to be the latest, based on the file size (which changed from the original 1.5.0 to the update with this fingering restored).
The size of the firmware with this update shows in Windows Explorer as 14,965 KB.
I can confirm that the download file size of the macOS version of the Sylphyo (and Link) firmware version 1.5.0 on Aodyo's website, has also grown a little bit larger since the 12 September 2023 version.

RE: A Modern Sylphyo Keyboard is Required - The Omega Has All The Keys
@ErikOnSax You seem to want moving mechanical keys like a Yamaha WX5? Is that correct?
Are you asking for a saxophone-type Sylphyo or flute-type Sylphyo?
You mention the Omega. Does this new design of Sylphyo need to be polyphonic? -
RE: More Internal Sounds needed here!
I found some news about a new, physically modelled, Trumpet sound for the Sylphyo (and Anyma) in the updates about the Anyma Omega on Indiegogo. Posted on April 18th. "Meanwhile, we would like to share with you a demo of our new Trumpet oscillator, designed from our Brass physical model, that will soon be available on both Sylphyo and Anyma:".
https://soundcloud.com/aodyo/trumpet-sectionSadly, the same update said that the Anyma Omega would be delayed by 3 months as Aodyo can no longer get the screen part and have to use an alternative part which means modifying the electronic and mechanical design of the Omega.

RE: More Internal Sounds needed here!
@Peter-Ostry In the WX5 manual, Yamaha refer to it as "Pitch Bend Wheel" rather that "Rocker". They say, "Thumb-controlled pitch-bend wheel allows convenient pitch bend control when either the reed (saxophone type) or recorder type mouthpiece is used.". Though from the way that you describe it as "Rocker", I guess that the action is more like a spring-loaded, bi-directional rocker switch?

RE: Under the Blue Ring
@Peter-Ostry It looks like Imoxplus have already designed an adapter for the Sylphyo, for a later version of the Photon prototype. Version 2 (or maybe 3 or later?).
Pedro Eustache shows the Photon v2 on his Sylphyo in the YouTube video, linked below.

RE: Under the Blue Ring
@wwoodard8 said in Under the Blue Ring:
@Gromit Ah, well, interesting. I would really like a bite controller :)
Maybe one day, Rudy at Imoxplus and the rest of the Photon team will be able to get the Photon manufactured. They still cannot source any PSOC microprocessors from Cypress.
According to Rudy,
"The Photon offers you CC's for- Breath out (blow)
- Breath in (suck)
- Tongue position (moving your tongue inwards or outwards)
- Lower Lip tension (pitch bend control with lower lip)
- Upper Lip position (shifting your mouth further or deeper on the mouthpiece)
- Vocal amplitude (making a vocal sound while blowing)
- Each sensor can be configured individually with curves, midi channel, smoothing etc...
- Up to 32 mouthpiece configurations (presets) can be stored in the photon and recalled using program changes
- Hires midi output can be activated for each sensor individually
- Adjustable breath flow (resistance)
- etc.".
The Photon would attach to a Sylphyo in place of the Sylphyo's mouthpiece.
Air blown into the Photon mouthpiece by the musician does not pass through the Sylphyo. It exits straight back out of the Photon again. The Sylphyo just detects the notes that are being played. The Photon's MIDI data and the Sylphyo's MIDI data (the notes fingered (and motion control?)) are merged to drive apps such as Respiro from Imoxplus or SWAM. External MIDI synths too, I believe. -
RE: Under the Blue Ring
As is clear from Clint's pictures of his Sylphyo, the connector for the active mouthpiece is not actually fitted in the production Sylphyos but the moulding is there for it.
