@broken-gadget This is great! To address your concerns ("grumbles" in your post) : We did actually release a manual that is available here: anyma.aodyo.com
We also have been steadily releasing new software updates and new patches, and are now up to 16 factory patches, with more to come.
Let me know if you have any more questions and thanks a lot for this great review!
@deepsea Through a DAW, you can route midi to the Anyma Phi's midi out, but the usb host and midi in ports won't go through into the midi out.
This is something that we could work on in a future software update if there is interest.
@deepsea Are you trying to send information via the USB host port, via a computer through the USB port or via the DIN in ? One thing to note is that the midi out does not function as a midi thru port.
@deepsea Hello! Is this relating to the Anyma Phi or to the Sylphyo?
Thanks!
@andyhornblower I've enabled verified users to upload files on the forum. Hopefully this solves the privilege issue! Let me know if it works.
@milododds We are working on a tutorial video as well! Thanks for your patience and for asking for help on here. Please don't hesitate if you have any more questions.
@milododds Hi Milo it seems you are confusing controlling from a DAW with sending the audio into a DAW. Control from a DAW is possible using regular MIDI cc. Sending audio into a DAW requires an audio interface just like most other synths. You can then plug in the output from the Anyma into the input of your audio interface.
@msouet Depuis la dernière mise-à-jour nous avons rajouté un son "vide", qui n'envoie pas de son mais continue d'envoyer du MIDI.
Hello Anyma Phi early-users!
Thank you for your support this far in the adventure. Specially for forum members, we have a pre-release update to share with you.
Here are the release notes:
Let us know if you encounter any problems or have any issues, we are here to help!
If everything is fine we will be posting this update on the official Anyma Phi update page shortly.
Musically,
Aodyo Instruments Team
I've sent you a message about this! I'd be happy to help you out with discovering the Sylphyo
@wx-is-dead Having lip/teeth pressure on the mouthpiece would require an entirely new "active" mouthpiece. There is controller data sent by the finger "pressure" so to speak (the area of the key covered by each finger). You can activate this by going into the menu, under the keys option and then selecting the keybend (beta) option. You can then either select that the keybend sends pitchbend + or ctrl data (Midi CC messages with CC77 by default).
For the flute fingering, what do you mean by E3 F3 F#3 fingering? Have a look at the manual on our website we have quite a complete flute fingerings!
@cathartech The editor acts like a remote control for the Anyma Phi which is why when you affect a parameter in the editor it changes the Anyma Phi directly.
I hope this helps!
@paul-flute Just to be clear, I didn't step in because the 48 hour charge cycle would have been my recommendation ! Happy to hear it worked :)
@mrj2 Hello, if you turn on the Sylphyo while charging, it will show a small charging icon on the battery status indicator on the screen. I hope this helps
@friendly-noise As for the second question: so far in our testing the finish has been resistant but you should avoid scratching with things like sharp metallic objects on the lettering directly if you don't want to damage the finish! Other than that it's quite resistant. Let us know what you use to strike the piezo!
@moogyloogy I'm trying to find out more about how to make the Anyma Phi work with the Seaboard Rise and I will let you know once I find out!
@clint Nice case Clint! Happy to hear your travels with the Sylphyo went well :) Do you have any videos from your concerts to share?
@armando-bersani You can find all the information regarding fingering on our manual here: https://www.aodyo.com/user-manual-page-en-21.html#section-fingerings.clarinet
Changing the instrument to Sib is then just a simple switching the base key from Do (C) to Sib (Bb). I hope this helps!
@armando-bersani Hi Armando! Sorry for the lack of replies to your posts. One of our team members speaks Italian but is not active on the forum, so I've gotten his help to translate. I'll do my best to reply to you in English from now!
@toff Hello! When updating, make sure your Anyma Phi is plugged in directly to your computer (And not through a dongle or an adapter)
@relevart71 Hello! Sorry to hear that. Just to be sure, are you powering the Anyma Phi through the usb type A to mini-usb cable ? It needs to be powered with the provided usb to barrel plug cable.
To test if the power brick is the issue, you can swap it for any phone charger and test that. Let me know what you find out.
@sleep-totem There is no way to configure the pitch bend range at the moment but we are working on it and it should be a feature in an upcoming update!
To delete a mapping you can simply select the source as "none". I hope this helps.
@sleep-totem Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with! Also post some of your music with the Anyma on here, we are excited to hear what you can make.
@ipi The provided power cable for the Anyma Phi is a USB to 2.1x5.5mm DC plug.
@sleep-totem Hello! If you remove the black plastic encoder cap and click the metal encoder, does the click work better?
If so then you can put something on the inside of the encoder cap in order for the plastic to be slightly raised so the click is better.
Let me know if that works for you.
@krischan The reason the Anyma doesn't power through USB is because of ground loop issues. The separate power from USB allows us to eliminate any noise!
All these controllers should work better through midi DIN than through usb Host for the moment, we will of course keep you updated as to an upcoming fix.
@eponto Hello! We've had some issues with a few controllers (such as the beatstep). We are working on a solution for this and will release it as soon as we can through a software update. Thank you for your patience!
Bonjour ! Ceci ressemble beaucoup à un soucis de boucle de masse. Vous pouvez essayer d'isoler le problème en branchant le Link sur une autre alimentation (par exemple une batterie externe).
@eponto Thank you for your feedback on the Anyma Phi. Let us know on here if you have any questions or additional feedback, we love hearing from our community!
Also very happy you like the piezo. What you can try if you want is set up a patch with the piezo as one input and use a regular oscillator as another input from a keyboard, so you can play both a melody on the keyboard (or run a sequence/arp) and at the same time play percussively with the piezo! There are tons of possibilities for experimentation.
@origami23 Hello! Welcome to the forum and thanks for the feedback! Resozen is definitely an awesome patch! For a tip, try feeding it into a tape delay for some very cool drone effects.
The mapping is based on modular synthesis and while complex, is easily understood by separating each piece of the synth (oscillators, envelopes, filters, modulators, etc.) and thinking of each of them as having multiple parts that can be used to modulate. If you know modular synthesis, think of each module and their patch points.
We are working to add some more factory presets to the Anyma! Keep in mind this is still an early product, which is why there are few presets and the manual is not yet completed.
For the sounds parameters order, are you referring to the order in the editor or in the Anyma Phi itself?
What you can do to control matrix parameters is send midi through a controller or your computer to control each of the 4 controls (control A, B, C, and D in the Anyma). The MIDI CC messages the Anyma receives can be set in the menu.
@paul-flute Hi Paul, the Sylphyo does not contain the listed chemicals phtalates, DEHP or BPA. The Sylphyo body is made from ABS plastic with a V0 treatment for uninflammability. The mouthpiece is made from food-grade ABS plastic. The Sylphyo has also been approved by the FCC. You can find the documentation for this online.
@paul-flute If there is quite a lot of moisture building up on the capacitive keys it is possible that this is causing the erratic behaviour you are experiencing.
Are you using any plugs or anything to block the air at the bottom of the Sylphyo?
Can you try a factory reset and updating to the latest version 1.4.8 from our website?
@paul-flute Good to hear Paul! Thanks for the feedback and I'm happy we could solve your problem. Let me know if there is anything else!
@paul-flute out of curiosity which port are you using on the Link? The mini-USB port or the USB host port?
@paul-flute Hello Paul! The first one is normal, as the Sylphyo and Link connection is one-way only, so you can pass information from the Sylphyo to the Link, but not from the Link to the Sylphyo.
The latency issue is almost certainly due to either the conversion cable or the software you are using. You can try lowering the buffer size or sample rate (or both) for better latency.
For the second problem, can you try plugging your Sylphyo or Link directly to USB and see if your computer detects anything?
Maybe try a different cable or a different USB port ? Which Midi channel is your Sylphyo sending to?
@frank Yes of course feel free to share anything you find on here. I'm looking forward to see what you and the community do with this scale
@frank We don't provide the tuning files, you need to create them yourself or find them from somewhere else. The creator of this fingering for the Sylphyo is Bruce Kanzelmeyer, if you can contact him I am sure he can help you!
@gibis Ce n'est pas possible pour le moment de modifier la fréquence du la.
@frank Hello!
Here is some info about the natural harmonic scale: https://www.aodyo.com/manuel-d-utilisation-page-21.html#section-fingerings.bruce
@frank For now the majority of updates will be kept on the Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaign pages as they relate more to early backers. Once we have completed production and shipped to our early backers, we can start posting updates on here as well! Feel free to have a look at our updates on Indiegogo and Kickstarter!
There is no manual yet as the synth is not released, but we will be sure to put up a full manual once the Anyma is available!
Edit: The manual is now available here: https://downloads.aodyo.com/anymaphi/early-adopter
@frank You are correct I corrected this!
@peter-ostry These are placeholders! You can use them as you would the normal sounds or you can just ignore them. They get progressively replaced as we add new sounds to the Sylphyo and are essentially there to fill the empty slots. It can also be convenient when for example switching from sound 34 back to sound 1, you can just switch over to sound 36 instead.
@steviek That just sounds like you had both the Link and the Integra plugged in to your mixer/sound card, nothing strange. Please do a demo! We'd love to hear how it sounds.
@peter-ostry For the moment you could change the midi channel while you are changing sounds on the Sylphyo (which sends PC messages). When you want to control your synths you can then revert back to channel 1 (or whichever channel you use).
We will look into adding this feature in the future.
@peter-ostry Okay you should check which CC messages specifically it needs in order to control the different parameters of it. You can then program the Sylphyo to send these CC messages in the Midi Mapping section of the menu.
@peter-ostry The bend should work pretty reliably. Can you try setting the edge size to be a little bit bigger (±12mm ?) so that it is a bit more forgiving?
