ideally 128, 64, or 32 samples. Note that there is always a tradeoff
with audio buffer sizes: they should not be too high (or else there will
be a delay between your breath and the sound), but they should not be
too low either (or else you will hear cracking noises).

If you sll experience high delays, you might need an ASIO driver designed for low-
latency audio. If your sound card does not provide such drivers, you may want to
install ASIO4ALL at www.asio4all.com.
Quick start with an iOS smartphone or tablet
You can also use the Sylphyo to control sounds generated from any iOS
app on your iDevice (iPhone, iPod, or iPad). However, you will need to
get Apple’s official Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter.
First, connect the adapter to a power source, such as a USB charger
or a portable power bank. Then, connect the powered adapter to the
Lightning port of your iDevice. Now, turn on your Sylphyo but do not
use it. Instead, plug it to the powered adapter using the included USB
cable.
Now that your Sylphyo is connected to your iDevice, you now need an
app with sounds to control. Garageband is free and responds well to
breath control.
If Garageband is not already installed, download it from the App Store.
Once Garageband is open, select a Keyboard track. Then, tap the down-
wards arrow in the upper le corner of the screen, and select the last
item of the menu (Grand Piano in the image below).
