@paul-flute hey again, what fun in aus when all the fun stuff is coming out of europe!! To answer your questions I was having issues with midi stuff (respiro, swam woodwinds etc) as well as the internal sounds. Basically triggering notes without breath etc. I come from a WX5, which was a brick, but older tech and just dip switches and a couple of adjustable pots for breath pressure. The sylphyo is really sensitive and obviously complex, which is why it's potential is so good, and it is still a work in development, (waiting for the key bends are out of beta stage!), so I am forgiving of it's issues, but have it really stable at the moment, and as I said before, for me the temperature seemed to be the trigger, but I have no idea what happens at the software stage, and how the sensors interact. Best wishes with your issues, but it is a fantastic thing!
cheers

RE: Moisture (Sylphyo problems with spurious notes and key change)
Hello again, just a thought bubble... I have been making sure the sylphyo is warm before switching on, and that seems to have solved the spurious note problem for me. It started to behave weirdly after the really cold snap we had, but I haven't had it go strange in the last few weeks. I had a stihl battery go strange around the same time, which sat in the repairers shop for a few days and returned to normal. Perhaps a deep chill spins out the electronics? Purely personal experience here, and have been waiting for problems, but so far so good.

RE: Moisture (Sylphyo problems with spurious notes and key change)
@paul-flute No problems. I managed to get the min down to 5 yesterday when in the house by the fire, then lost it back out in the studio, which was when I emailed support. (I'm south of bathurst, and it's been cold and damp!!) Today I have it running at 25, without getting it to fail. I did the factory reset etc just to set all the adjustments back to default, as I have been fiddling with the settings quite a bit, and as it is a complex device different settings may interfere with each other? Who knows? At support they asked for some of the numbers generated in the diagnostic screen, which obviously gives them some clue as to what is happening. As I'm still in testing mode (had enough for today) I would suggest making contact with support, but all seems better for me, will know more in a few days!!!!! I make plugs out of soft dripper irrigation pipe, which is almost the perfect size for me, and I have been trying with and without reducers, which might affect the results. Anyway, switching off now, good luck to you. It is a fun controller though!!!!!

RE: Moisture (Sylphyo problems with spurious notes and key change)
@paul-flute Hello, I am in au as well, and have been suffering similar issues lately, but have just been helped out wonderfully by Jonathan at support. Was having multiple notes continuing to be triggered, also triggering when tipping the sylphyo. He walked me through the diagnostics etc. I have done a reset of firmware etc, but the solution for me was raising the minimum breath, which after a day of trying to make it fail again, has resolved my issues. It was behaving differently when warm and dry, to when I was in a cold studio. Maybe at first try setting the minimum breath really high, and bring it down slowly. When I was fiddling before contacting support, I would power it off and on after each adjustment, which might be unnecessary!!
Anyway, good luck with a resolution.
