A Complete Sylphyo WindSynth Setup

A Sylphyo Wind Synth / Controller with all the goodies to put it to use. This gear has been used only by me and has been very well cared for. It has normal wear marks and minor dings.

The Sylphyo isn’t just a MIDI controller; it’s a major step forward evolution of the wind instrument. Designed and crafted in France by Aodyo Instruments, it bridges the gap between the soul of traditional woodwinds and the limitless possibilities of modern synthesis.

Whether you’re a saxophonist looking to go silent for practice or an electronic producer seeking organic expression, the Sylphyo offers a level of nuance that keyboard controllers simply can’t touch.

Why the Sylphyo Stands Out

* Unrivaled Expression: The high-precision breath sensor captures every ghost note and crescendo, while the unique slider and touch-sensitive keys allow for effortless portamento and timbre shifts.

* Wireless Freedom: Perform without being tethered. With the Link receiver, you can roam the stage with professional-grade, low-latency wireless MIDI.

* A Natural Feel: The fingering is customizable. Whether you play Recorder, Flute, Saxophone, Clarinet, or Trumpet, the Sylphyo adapts to you, not the other way around. The resistive keypads let you roll your fingers on and off the pads for slides and vibrato.

* Inertial Sensors: Take your performance into the third dimension. By moving or shaking the instrument, you can trigger vibrato, filters, or any MIDI CC you desire.

* Internal Sounds: The Sylphyo is equipped with a high-quality internal sound engine, meaning you can plug in headphones and play anywhere—no computer required.

* The associated Link receiver uses a 2.4GHz radio interface that is blazingly fast – with latency measured in microseconds rather than milliseconds. It is also a self-contained synth that can be used with other MIDI controllers over USB and/or DIN5 MIDI. It also implements and advanced routing scheme that makes it ideal as the hub of a WindSynth Rig.

Includes:

* Sylphyo Wind Controller, purchased Dec 7, 2020, S/N AS02143. The motherboard was upgraded by Aodyo in Jan 2023.

* Aodyo Link, S/N AL02143. This is the radio receiver for the Sylphyo and self-contained synthesizer.

* Both the Sylphyo and Link are up to date with the latest 1.6.0 firmware.

* A pair of swabs for cleaning the internal breath channel of the instrument. One is the official cloth by Aodyo, and the other is a high-quality microfiber cloth that is perfect for the size of the  breath channel and exit port.

* A hydrophilic insert that absorbs moisture. It is made of a specialized lightweight material that fits in the back of the mouthpiece and absorbs a huge amount of moisture. Simply remove the mouthpiece and let it dry out overnight.

* Twelve 3D-printed “Bell Port Plugs” that fit in the breath exit-hole at the foot of the Sylphyo. These are useful in controlling the amount of back pressure you feel when you play and how much breath you need to supply. Three of the plugs were produced by Aodyo and I designed and 3D-printed the other nine plugs. There is a variety of sized for the exit holes to give you a choice of how much to restrict the airflow.

* A 3D-printed stand that I designed and printed. It has an integrated USB-powered fan that assists in drying the Sylphyo through a “plumbing system” in the base of the stand.

* A 3D-printed cradle that I designed and printed – for resting the Sylphyo flat on a table.

* A light, thin-wall PVC tube and custom 3D printed endcaps that are ideal for transporting the Sylphyo safely.

* Two USB chargers and USB cables that came with the Sylphyo and Link.

* Original boxes and paperwork that came with the Sylphyo and Link
