Hello Frank,
thank you for your comments, but the discussion no longer has anything to do with this forum or this thread and I don't want to continue it here. I am writing this because it would be impolite not to reply after your effort.

@frank
Then you are a lucky man. But there are also sound engineers who route suspect signals through DI boxes on principle.

I have now put the Sylphyo Link and also two synths behind a multiport DI box. The Link box is safe and as an additional benefit there is less noise overall.

You can't convince me with experience alone, since I'm almost 71 we could be about the same age :-)

We won't hear from Aodyo until the Omega synth is on the market or the project is cancelled. Even that is not certain. As we know, there is only one software developer and we will be lucky if he still works for Aodyo after the Phi/Omega adventure.

I predict a similar course for the Sylphyo as for the Eigenharp controller. One of the best products of its time, too few sales, developer lost and goodbye. The Eigenharp fared worse because it doesn't work without computer software.

With the Sylphyo we have the advantage that it is not tied to external software. We can use it as long as the hardware lasts. From this point of view, it is fortunate that there is no editor software necessary for it to function. So be careful with your wish for an editor, it might come true ...

Maybe Aodyo is angry with me now, but I don't even get an answer to a simple question in the forum and by email. After all, I'm just an annoying customer who has already bought. I can live with it, fortunately the product works and we also know how to replace the battery.

@Clint
Yes, of course. Input or output is not the question. It's simply 48 volts of DC hitting some components. If they are not adequately protected, it goes "ssshh..." and the gig is over.

@frank
What is the exact characteristic for an electrical exit, possibly a "no entry" sign? Then my power is not only a phantom, it also can not read. That was certainly the reason why it grilled my old ribbon mic and later burned the output stage of a preamp. I'm for more education: Phantom powers must be able to read!

What happens if the Sylphyo Link line outputs are connected to an interface input with phantom power - is this dangerous for the Link?

@Gromit
Yes, it is spring-loaded and bi-directional. I don't remember exactly, but I think there is a small potentiometer underneath, but quite precise. And yes it is mostly used for pitchbend.

On the Sylphyo I would use it for Pitchbend and ModWheel because the rear touch surface is almost unusable for me, practically out of reach, and I never know where my finger is until I hear it.

@NS-D
I suggest you start with the fingering you are most familiar with, in this case saxophone. If you need it differently, e.g. for fast or comfortable #/b changes, you can try other fingerings or settings.

Except for simple flutes, no fingering matches the original instrument exactly anyway, because the Sylphyo has no additional flaps.

@mathiross
I mean this thing on the WX controllers:

Maybe it is just called Rocker because it is not a switch.

I miss it on the Sylphyo, but I miss mechanical elements anyway. I'm not fond of touch plates. I love the Sylphyo for it's breath sensibility and the transformation to MIDI. Everything else is improvable.

@ark
Well, I can't agree unconditionally. I very rarely use the internal sounds.

But: The blow sensor and gyroscope system from the Sylphyo, key buttons from the Eigenharp, rocker switch, mouthpiece and octave buttons from the WX, and new software with an editor – that would be a wonderful instrument :-)

Don't you miss the rocker switch on the Sylphyo?
Don't you find the WX octave keys better?
