Our supplier says 250m if there's no obstacle between the Sylphyo and the receiver. I haven't gone much farther than 50m/75m myself, but it was fine.

RE: Kontakt and aodyo sylphyo
It really depends on the Kontakt library you use. For instance, the Samplemodeling libraries (e.g., The Trumpet) automatically use the intensity of your breath (sent by the Sylphyo as MIDI CC11 messages, by default).
Some others are not programmed to use this information, but you can setup them to use it. The basic idea is to setup a mapping (using the MIDI mapping settings of Kontakt or your plugin host) that assigns MIDI CC11 to parameters like amplitude/volume/… I found a video tutorial that explains how to do it with any Kontakt library, and a forum post with some discussion about it. I hope it's enough to get you started.
Otherwise, if you don't want to do this, you can always set the Sylphyo velocity setting to Dynamic so that your breath controls how "percussive"/loud the beginning of notes are, with sample-based sounds. But if the sampler doesn't use CC11, you won't be able to continuously control the intensity of the sound using your breath, just note beginnings.
Don't hesitate to report your experience to us, this could help us add a Kontakt section in the user manual!

RE: New mouth piece
I'm afraid I can't tell you this yet… But send us a mail at contact@aodyo.com and we'll tell you as soon as we know! And don't hesitate if you have any other question as well.

RE: New mouth piece
Hi! The active mouthpiece isn't ready yet. We preferred to reschedule it to next year, and focus on the stability and performance of the internal software (which we just released).
Anyway, the mouthpiece is an extension, so if you buy a Sylphyo today, you will be able to use it with the active mouthpiece when it's released.

RE: Sounds for the Sylphyo
Hi Darryl,
Anything that responds to MIDI should work at least minimally (meaning, you will be able to issue notes, at the very least). The best synths and sound banks are those that can respond to MIDI Control Change 2 (Breath Control) or 11 (Expression), or even aftertouch messages: those will correctly respond to your breath.
If you want the simplest setup possible, our user guide provides some "quick start" advice with free/cheap synths for Mac, PC, and iOS. For instance, you can just plug the Sylphyo into a Mac, launch Garageband and play. But you won't get the best sound and it doesn't really reflect all the Sylphyo's expressive capabilities.
Now, we have our list of favorites, and what you'll like depends on what kind of sounds you'd like to play and how much money you're willing to spend.
For "realistic" wind instrument sounds, we are huge fans of Sample Modeling. Their VSTs allow to play many wind instruments (sax, trumpet, clarinet, flute…), even stringed instruments (check out the new Cello) using the Sylphyo. As it is a combination of sampling and physical modeling, the instruments are very expressive to play, and they're very light on memory. You can hear them in this video, for instance.
We also had successful experiences with SaxLab (there's a demo on their website).
One of our early adopters has also used Embertone Jubal Flute (check out his videos). We're aware of several other Kontakt instruments but we haven't given them a proper look yet.For more electronic sounds, we like to use a Nord Modular G2 rack, but we haven't explored the virtual instrument space very thoroughly.
We're planning to investigate NI Massive and Logic Pro's new Alchemy synth, as well as the Moog Model 15 app another user has recommended.
One of our musician friends, Florian Becquigny, plays a lot of electronic music using the Sylphyo. If you're more interested in non-realistic sounds, maybe we can ask him to provide some advice on what he likes and uses most. -
RE: Quels instruments ?
Bonjour Michel,
S'il n'y a aucune information sur les sons que fait le Sylphyo, c'est parce qu'il n'en fait pas de lui-même. Pour l'instant, c'est un contrôleur MIDI et il permet de contrôler les sons d'autres machines (il y a un peu d'infos là-dessus dans le manuel) :
- soit un instrument virtuel sur PC/Mac/iPad/iPhone/etc… La majorité de nos démos utilisent par exemple les excellents sons de chez SampleModeling, mais on peut utiliser d'autres VSTi, ou bien les sons intégrés à certains séquenceurs comme Garageband;
- soit un synthétiseur, comme le VL70 de Yamaha ou le XPression de DynaSample qui sont spécialisés instruments à vent, ou bien encore d'autres synthés plus généralistes (nous utilisons le Nord Modular G2 pour certaines démos).
Jusqu'à maintenant, nous nous sommes concentrés sur l'instrument et le contrôle de sons externes. Cette facette du Sylphyo va continuer à beaucoup évoluer (grâce aux mises à jour du logiciel interne), mais nous savons aussi qu'il est très important pour un musicien de pouvoir être libre des contraintes informatiques et de pouvoir simplement prendre son instrument et jouer.
Nous sommes en train de préparer pour la fin de l'année une carte intégrée qui contiendra une banque de sons expressifs (certains réalistes, d'autres plus électroniques) et une interface pour les personnaliser.
Une fois disponible, il sera possible d'acheter un Sylphyo directement avec la carte intégrée, et les possesseurs actuels du Sylphyo pourront également la faire rajouter sans problème. -
RE: Moog Model 15 App
Hi Bob,
Sounds great! We didn't try the app but we'll look into it soon.
Which of the factory sounds would you recommend?
By the way, does the app support assigning different MIDI channels or program changes to presets?
