@grommi said in Sylphyo v1.6.0 update:

Announcement by Aodyo: "The update package contains the update file to transfer to your Sylphyo, the current version of the manual, a readme.txt file with instructions, as well as the current version of the PC/Mac editor for your operating system"

Hm.. Manual has to be downloaded seperately, no readme file. There is a Sylphyo editor??? Never seen one.

Cut and paste error by the person updating the Aodyo website about the Anyma Phi and Sylphyo updates, I suspect? The Anyma Phi has a PC/Mac editor but the Sylphyo doesn't.

Thank you Jonathan.
I've successfully updated my Sylphyo and Link to v1.6.0

What type of internal rechargeable battery does the Sylphyo use?
I do not need a replacement battery for my Sylphyo at the moment but availability in the future may be uncertain?
Model number and type?

@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).

@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.".

@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.

@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?

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:".

Sadly, 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.

@bibenu Here you go.

@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?
