The electronic wind instrument: Expand your sound palette, with headphones or amplified.

The Sylphyo is an electronic wind instrument that reproduces the feeling of an acoustic wind instrument. Like them, it is played by blowing into a mouthpiece and selecting notes using keys on the front of the instrument. However, unlike other wind instruments, the Sylphyo is also sensitive to your movements, as well as the way you touch it, offering novel expressive possibilities.

It's a fact: the synth and computer music world is made for those who know how to play keyboards and percussions, and most electronic instruments are not well suited to wind instrumentists. With the Sylphyo, we wanted to provide a way to bridge the gap between the expressiveness and subtlety of acoustic wind instruments and the richness and diversity of the electronic music world. In addition to that, the Sylphyo offers you several new ways to augment your playing technique, and allows you to discover new ways to perform your music.

Give life to your sound: breath control with a wide dynamic range, and modulate them thanks to tactile and movement controls

Unlike the keyboard or percussion where sound often takes a life of its own once the note has been triggered, wind instruments provide something unique: your breath is what keeps your sound alive and determines how it sounds, all the way from start to finish. You are in charge of the intensity of the sound, its timbre, tone, and color, and all the possible modulations and effects are at your fingertips in real time.

Whether you’re a pro, a beginner, or an beginner, whether you already play a wind instrument or not, you can quickly learn how to play the Sylphyo and be on your way to becoming a virtuoso. DJs, beatmakers, or composers can use it to quickly record their productions with a high level of expressiveness in an extremely effective way.

If you play any wind instrument, you can very easily switch from your traditional instrument to the Sylphyo, back and forth. If you are a beginner, your Sylphyo will allow you to improve your technique in the plane or in your bed, and you’ll benefit from your progress when you get back to your acoustic instrument! Conversely, because the fingerings of your Sylphyo are similar to your traditional instrument, you can use it to play your usual musical repertoire without a hitch.
