Using the Sylphyo as a controller
If you have virtual instruments on your computer, or apps on your phone
that sound great, you'll be able to play them using your Sylphyo as a con-
troller. In this secon, you will learn how to connect your Sylphyo to a
computer, phone, or tablet, and control a virtual instrument.
Quick start using a Windows or macOS computer
Connect your Sylphyo directly to a USB port of your computer using
the included USB cable. No drivers are required: it is immediately rec-
ognized as a standard USB-MIDI peripheral.
To allow you to get playing as quickly as possible, we created Sylphyo
Bench, a small applicaon for Windows and macOS
1
with five differ-
ent sounds that are setup to respond well with the Sylphyo. Even if
you already own other virtual instruments, you may want to keep this
applicaon handy if you want to quickly test your computer configura-
on or idenfy potenal problems.
Go to www.aodyo.com/sylphyobench and click the link corresponding to
your operang system (Windows or macOS) to download an archive
containing the Sylphyo Bench applicaon. You may then have to unzip
the archive before you can open the applicaon.

Sylphyo Bench supports Windows 7 and onwards, as well as macOS 10.8 and on-
wards.
