Thanks for explaining in detail about Sylphyo .How many models are there and which is v2 model ? Is this v2 you are playing ? Please reply as I am going to buy one .thanks
Imo they coulda just started with imitating the sounds of the most popular wind instruments. Just stick to maybe sax, flute, clarinet, oboe, trumpet, you know the usual, and just do it accurately. If people would want synth sounds I think they'll just pick up a midi keyboard over this any day. But I think it's still a good start. I wonder if you can connect earphones to this. I'm a beginner and only interested in a midi wind instrument just so I can play it quietly so as not to annoy neighbors but still be able to hear it properly.
Yeah, you can just plug headphones straight in -- good for learning tunes. It's an interesting and powerful device but the built in synth is not 'industrial' quality.
Yes, I agree. I'd really like to find an electronic wind instrument which provides, to plugged in headphones, a good imitation of a flute, clarinet, even a recorder... my 10 year old Korg keyboard comes close, but it's not a wind instrument. Thanks for the demo, but this instrument is not what I'm looking for - especially at the price 😮.
@@briancrowle6290 I'm glad the Sylphy does not try to imitate real instruments. If you look for that, you will be disappointed. Otherwise it's brlliant midi controller. But I love it for the amazing built in sounds out of the box. They are instruments on their own. That's the big misunderstanding on the Sylphyo.
@@trigamma5141 Thank you - your reply has given me pause for thought. Well, I think that whether or not you like the Sylpho sounds is very much a matter of personal taste. If you do, well and good - Enjoy! There are a few purely synthetic sounds that I like too. But sadly, I think you're right - I rather doubt that there's an ewi with the sort of sounds to be found on my Korg keyboard. But there are some interesting instruments coming onto the market now, midi controllers with sax or recorder like fingering. And, frankly, at only a fraction of the advertised price of the Sylpho. I just have to figure out how to get one of them to drive the midi in of the Korg...
So where are these sounds coming from? The Sylphyo, or the Link? I kind of agree that these sounds are not very compelling. If it's all down to the synth, why would this be an improvement over my EWI USB. I got very into my EWI USB for a while, and I had some very nice sounds from SWAM and Wallander. But ultimately it just does not seem as expressive as a real instrument. And, Gina, I don't see any videos from you actually making music with Sylphyo, so I wonder about that. I just discovered the new Roland Aerophone line, and I am seriously considering it. Then I stumbled on this. I love the lightness and the simplicity of the fingering. The wireless Link is a nice touch. But the question is, would it really be more expressive than my EWI USB? The same company also makes a synth, but you don't seem to have gotten that or played with it. Anyway, thanks for these videos and you have so much charm and grace. I'm glad you are doing well.
I believe the misunderstanding here is that the "instruments" or sound profiles she lists off, i don't think she mentioned that they're preloaded onto the device, and it produces a music signal, but as it has no speaker you have to plug in either headphones, an amp, or use the link to hook it to your pc. The last one likely allowing you to use it with midi software as a controller, or just using the pc speakers inplace of the aforementioned amp/headphones.
@@bitmaster64 Thank you for your reply. I think you are correct - these sounds are in the instrument. My misunderstanding was this: I thought the Link was to wirelessly feed the midi stream into a PC. I am pretty sure it can do this. But apparently it can also stream the audio output directly into monitor speakers (self-powered, I assume). All this investigating got me to get into the Akai EWI again, and I have made several new videos you can find on my UA-cam Channel skowarsky.
@@Eaglehrt7 minor pentatonic is usually used. I prefer the keys of A Or G. The F is too big for my hands. I was just wondering it could be used with the songbooks. I think it would really be interesting it try out
it's synth-based so if you don't like synths you have to use the great MIDI functions instead - look up Pedro Eustache and his Main Stage setup controlled by the Sylphyo
That's the whole idea. Anyone expecting the out-of-box sounds to be the reason for buying the Sylphyo (or any other MIDI controller) just doesn't get what MIDI is for.
So this thing is an air based synth keyboard that needs a computer and additional hardware to be able to be used. A standard keyboard seems a lot more practical, this thing just seems pretentious.
This is THE coolest thing I've seen in a long time...oh my goddddddd
19 is definitely my fav!
pretty cool stuff. thanks
I didn't have the sound on but these vapes are getting ridiculous.
Very cool video!!!
Amazing flute cover
19 is beautiful 😍

@@benjaminpeterson222 for the price, I'd expect far better. Far, far better.

Hello, your videos are very good but I bought an Amazon ocarina, because I'm in Germany because of the shipping costs but I'll buy a STL Ocarina soon.
Is this the version 2?
Hi' mam what model.flute you are using? Pls give.me.details
Waiting video
Can this be used as a midi controller to play sounds through a daw and record midi directly? Seems like a no brainer but I just want to be sure!
yes, but you will have to tweak the CC

Sylphyo: plays the sound of the ocean

The built in sounds are not much better than a kazoo, but thanks for the video in any case.
So this is a silent flute can use with headphones like a silent violin , no neighbour issues

Nadaswaram sound please?
How about the Native American Flute?

27 is my favorite
Let me guess fleechwurm
@@warshaek58 thats a fleechwurm?
GAH, just get a used WX5.
Who else came here from reading Ursula k le guin
Hai madam how are you
Most sounds are pretty awful. The instrument might however be intereeting as a controller.
The midi potential is wild
it's synth-based so if you don't like synths you have to use the great MIDI functions instead - look up Pedro Eustache and his Main Stage setup controlled by the Sylphyo
That's the whole idea. Anyone expecting the out-of-box sounds to be the reason for buying the Sylphyo (or any other MIDI controller) just doesn't get what MIDI is for.
You're too cute...🎉
A few good sounds but loads of pointless weird sound effects.
Just convinced me not to buy this, sounds are terrible and cheesy.
ph shit its got da funk, does it come with a bootsy collins style hat tho?
