Anyma Phi editor software
-
Hi - just received my Anyma Phi - an impressive unit - well built, and nice display and controls.
The editor application seems not to be compatible with Mac OS X Catalina. Any chance of an update soon?
Also, some more presets would be welcome, just to get us started with programming.
Thanks.

@mickglossop Impressive gear for sure ! Excellent sound quality ! I can't believe this gear is so "cheap" moneywise !
Can't you upgrade your Mac OS ?
The editor is really extremely well thought and quite ergonomic !
I've shared my very first piece of music (drone) exclusively made wit the Anyma Phi in the early users area... Share your pieces too please ! -

Can you point me to the "early users area"?

@mickglossop Normally the editor app shouldn't have any problems running from Mac OS X 10.9 up to the latest version. Please send us a mail at support@aodyo.com with details on what you're experiencing with Catalina.

Hi - thanks for the quick reply.
I got the editor going with CTRL-OPEN.
It seems ok now.

@origami23 I too am in the same boat as Mickglassop. I prefer to spend my money on digital musical equipment as opposed to buying brand new MAC laptops. I am running Catalina 10.15.7 on a 13" Macbook Pro if that gives you any idea how cheap I might be. Sure someday I will have to upgrade but was hoping that would happen around the time the computer dies on me.

Hi, is a plugin/VST version of the editor coming? That would be wonderful.

I would like to share a bank of sounds I have created. I can't find where the software editor stores the bank files (on a Windows machine).
I've tried export bank, and import bank, expecting further dialogue, but can't find the files.
What is the file extension for these?.
Any ideas anyone?

Please make sure you've updated your Anyma Phi to the latest version (you can find it here). There was a bug on the Windows version of the editor where the dialog boxes didn't appear, but it should be fixed with the last update.

Thanks for the advice. It's a relief that updating the firmware retains user patches. I've written a review of the Anyma Phi and published 57patches here: [http://www.brokengadget.org/anymated-synthesis/]

Seriously great work and sound creation! Thank you!

could you please always show the release number on the download page?

@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!
-
@broken-gadget Nice selection of patches ... some absolute gems in there,

That's great. Thanks very much. When I get a new synth with patch memory, I'm in the habit of going through some of the factory patches and tweaking them, as a first stage in learning about the synth - rather than just diving in and trying to make new ones from scratch. Needless to say, the provided ones didn't give much scope for doing that, so it's really good to have a decent sized set of good quality patches like yours to start from.
Your review was interesting too. Personally, I'm finding I prefer to edit patches from the actual synth - or I will do, once the firmware is more stable so it doesn't keep frustrating me by crashing while I'm editing. I'm confident that will improve though.
What I would like is sysex support for bank and patch dumps, and a way of putting a saved patch into the edit buffer, with a sysex librarian - if there is an edit buffer on this synth. If it was able to do that, I wouldn't really miss the PC based editor.

- I can only find 2 different versions, 0.8.80 and 0.8.90. Were there more?
- I want to upload @Broken-Gadget 's patches, how do I bulk import them into the editor? Drag and Drop would be great as well!
- Again, could you please show the current version with a version number?
4 I seem to have lost my great patch, although it was definitely shown as saved. What happened here? (Windows)

0.8.90 is the latest : https://downloads.aodyo.com/anymaphi/
So I don't think it matters if there were earlier versions.- I want to upload @Broken-Gadget 's patches, how do I bulk import them into the editor? Drag and Drop would be great as well!
I don't think that's possible currently since they were released as a zip file of patches instead of as a bank. I think B.G. would have to repost as a bank file.
- Again, could you please show the current version with a version number?
See link above

Was it actually lost or did just the name not get saved? There is a another thread about that bug and a work-around
Hope this helps

I made a start on them, then got distracted. I'll get back to it... However, I figure if it's not a problem to have the PC/Mac editor connected at the same time as the instrument or keyboard you want to try them with, it doesn't matter much because you can import one, try it briefly, then import another, and so on.
- Again, could you please show the current version with a version number?
I've been thinking it should show the version number on the update download page. Otherwise, the only way to tell for certain if it's a new one is to download it and open the zip.
I've been wondering how we'll know when there's a new release, unless we haunt this forum regularly. I don't see any way to ask for a notification, or to get notified of new threads, for example in the "anyma phi general" sub forum.

After finding the problem with renaming, and finding the workaround for that, I've been doing the same with each patch edit, to make sure I don't lose it. I don't know if that's needed, but it seems like the best bet:
- Use File->Export, so you have a backup in a single patch file
- Use File->Import, to import the same patch back again - because that's currently the only way I can be sure it's saved permanently on the synth.
The philosophy seems to be that changes are only saved from the front panel of the synth (with Shift+Right arrow), which personally, I don't think fits well with using a PC/Mac based editor. I'm not sure if there are other exceptions to that, but File->Import always works.
