Seng up virtual instruments and apps to work with the
Sylphyo
Your Sylphyo is automacally recognized as a standard USB-MIDI de-
vice by your computer, smartphone, or tablet, hence you can directly
use any virtual instrument (VSTi, Audio Unit, app…) that accepts MIDI.
NOTE
On a Mac, your Sylphyo will also work out of the box with most wind and synth
sounds of Garageband.
However, many virtual instruments are not made for wind controllers
and might not respond to your breath and to the other controls. In this
case, you might need to assign some of their parameters to the MIDI
messages sent by the Sylphyo.
See the documentaon of your virtual instrument or plugin host to learn
how to control parameters through MIDI. Usually, a MIDI Learn funcon
will allow you to visually select a parameter, and then to send the MIDI
message (usually a MIDI CC) you’d like to assign to this parameter.
To facilitate the mapping of a specific control of the Sylphyo through
MIDI Learn, go to the Sengs menu in the MIDI Mappings secon, se-
lect the relevant control using

or the slider, and blow into your
Sylphyo to send only the corresponding MIDI message.
Without MIDI Learn, you will have to enter the MIDI message manually.
At the end of this secon, you will find a summary table of the MIDI
messages sent by your Sylphyo that you can map to parameters of your
virtual instrument.
