Exactly. Newer voices work well but older have no dynamics, just on with max loudness, and off, near the threshold you can get kind of chirping, intermittent on/off. Still many voices are quite usable.

Sylpho with SampleTank 4
I have updated my SampleTank software to v.4. While setting macro in ST4 to use CC11 makes many voices useful with good dynamics (especially samples by Miroslav Philharmonic), some have very sharp attack and are not usable. ST does not provide spacial mode for wind instruments and manual does not give any advice how to adjust it.
Anyone has tried Sylpho with ST4? I have tried linear, semi and log curves but still attack is very sharp, no smooth control over loudness.

Mold growing inside Sylpho
To avoid blowing hard you may partially plug the exit hole of Sylpho. It works very well making the sound much louder, but your saliva stays inside and looking through the mouthpiece I see mold growing inside. This was really bad for me, and I have to clean it with antiseptic tissue, which is not quite easy. I guess for some people this may be a problem, and you should clean it frequently. Unless the interior of the instrument is silvered, as it is done in some refrigerators, there is no easy way to avoid it.

Confusing user guide
The user guide simple says: plug in your headphones and you should hear sounds. Except if you have older version of Sylpho without internal sounds. The guide does not mention that older version at all, and it is not clear whether new updates can be applied, as they seem to differ only by adding new internal sounds. In the older version there is no Sound section in the setup.
Please let us know which firmware still works with Sylpho before link was introduced. -
Sending output to several MIDI channels
Sylpho selects single output MIDI channels.
Is there an easy way to send output to several channels to activate multiple voices in the connected synthesizer without using sophisticated software? -
Firmware 1.4
I do not have link receiver, just the old receiver. I am afraid that many people may confuse the reciever with link receiver and there is no way to update it.
After updating Sylphyo to 1.4 left pinki key stopped working. I have tried different fingering, switching on/off and restarting everything, updated for thesecond time, in some fingering right pink works but left does not.
I went back to 1.3.3 and it works fine. So firmaware 1.4 has a problem.

RE: The best sounds for Sylphyo
@Comrade I have recommended Ketron soundbox elsewhere on this list, and tin whistle and many other flutes are there, here is the EWI USB version. Sylphyo will be similar.

Flute sounds
It would be great to have such ancient flutes in stand-alone version, beautiful sounds:

RE: Budget sound module
@friedus Check my page, no video but many examples of Ketron SD2 and SD1000 with Sylphyo and EWI Akai.

RE: Program Change shortcut
A step towards faster program change would be to assign individual parameters to each MIDI channel, for example base key and voice selection. I find myself changing from C3 to C4 quite often when changing voices on my synth. This takes much more time than just changing MIDI channel.
