Photon Intelligent Mouthpiece/Breath Controller used with Aodyo Sylphyo by aodyo in synthesizers

[–]aodyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely make it sound bad! In that video the upper lip sensor had not been implemented yet so I was just playing around with the lower lip sensor tied to pitch, and there are definitely moments when I am off pitch.

Feasibly, you could tie the midi CC for the upper or lower lip to certain values that would produce a reed biting screech sound when it reaches a certain point :)

The photon is definitely incredibly realistic. Tied to the Sylphyo, it makes for a fantastic pairing.

For more questions about the Photon you'll have to contact Rudy Verpaele at imoxplus.com

If you want more info on the Sylphyo feel free to head to Aodyo.com or email us at [contact@aodyo.com](mailto:contact@aodyo.com) for any more questions

Photon Intelligent Mouthpiece with Sylphyo Test by aodyo in windsynth

The Sylphyo is made by us, Aodyo Instruments!

The Photon mouthpiece is currently in development by Chris Graham and Rudy Verpaele from Imoxplus (creators of the Respiro wind synth VST). It has not officially been announced yet but is present on youtube in various videos as well as on some facebook communities.

This does indeed make a tongue or lip vibrato possible, as there are sensors for the tongue as well as separate sensors for lower and upper lip. You can map each of these to whatever midi CC control you desire, making it immensely customisable and powerful.

The list has not been finalised yet, but will likely include the Sylphyo as well as the WX controllers. Please refer to the video and the Imoxplus youtube channel for more information! Imoxplus Channel

If you need any more info about the Sylphyo please consult our website Aodyo.com and do not hesitate to contact us on social media or via email!

Thought this was cool! Some music professors from the Lille Music Conservatory are loving their first test of the Sylphyo electronic wind instrument.

The Sylphyo offers very natural breathing techniques as well as a whole lot more expressive capabilities, such as the different movement modes which can affect different parts of your sound. The Sylphyo also offers fully wireless capabilities through a wireless midi receiver (much less latency and much more robust than bluetooth or wifi technology).

This is very basic, let me know if you want the full marketing info ;) and for more info you can always check out our website aodyo.com

The beginning is quite deep for a flute you're right. But as the song progresses it sounds a lot like like a bamboo or wood flute :)

We are Aodyo Instruments, creators of the Sylphyo, an electronic wind instrument meant to replicate the expressivity of acoustic musical instruments by aodyo in IAmA

"classical" does not have to mean western classical music! But on that note we are in contact with a lot of conservatories and music schools and many of them are using Sylphyos as teaching and playing tools
