      Hello dear Aodyo Team, I am waiting now for years for a mouthpiece for the Sylphyo. Is there any chance to get one in the near future ?

      Hello,

      while I was looking forward to this mouthpiece 2 years ago, I quickly understood that Aodyo was pursuing other priorities.
      In addition, although Aodyo said at that time they were working on it, there was no promise to deliver it in the near future.

      This being said, as sonsdanslair put it, the slider and the shake vibrato are very far from the original sensation of acting on the mouthpiece.
      The Sylphyo is so great for its ability to let the player blow into it as it is with a real woodwind instrument that, people used to such acoustic instrument natural expect the mouthpiece to react the same way.

      I used to play the clarinet. I never use the slider for effect. shake vibrato is quite effective and natural.
      But I definitely miss a "smart" mouthpiece.
      Look : I tried using a clarinet mouthpiece instead of the plastic mouthpiece of the Sylphyo. It fits very well and I can modulate the expression by biting the reed more or less as I would do with the real instrument. This brings some vibrato control.

      The thing is that it is not like a real reed ! For instance, sometimes I surprise myself strengthening my bite on the mouthpiece when I want the sound of the synthetic instrument to be a few cents higher !

      Understanding that Aodyo would not propose an electronic mouthpiece before long, I imagined the following DIY :

      there are small ribbons (a few centimeters) sensitive to the pressure location and intensity, glue this ribbon to the bottom of the plastic mouthpiece, build an electronic circuit for mesuring location+intensity of the bite on the ribbon, build an electronic circuit for converting to MIDI and transmitting this to a computer, wireless,
      => then you have a mouthpiece that can react to your bite intensity for some vibrato effect, or for pitch bending, and also bite location for changing the tone of the sound as it is on a clarinet or a saxophone.

      Now that the new Sylphyo is out, we should have a bit more time to research for that mouthpiece! We don't expect it to be a "substitute for a reed" like in other products, but it should be configurable enough to be used as a way to perform vibratos and bends with the mouth.

      Yes, the audio output of the Sylphyo will also be available on the wireless receiver, so that you can plug it directly to a sound system.

      Microtuning scales aren't on the to-do list for now, but we're very interested in supporting them, and we still have to look for the better options. Of course, the more the demand, the faster we'll try to work it out ;). In the meantime, you can explore microtuning options in existing VSTis when supported.
