Anyma Phi (synth) and Doctor A (FX) - quick sound demo with TheoryBoard

video upload by SynthAddict

"Anyma Phi physical modeling sound demo (in Chinese D Pentatonic), just released from Kickstarter by Aodyo in France (maker of the Sylphyo). Audiothingies Doctor A is also included, an FX unit from France (see MATTHS cool modular YT video). Audiothingies also makes the MicroMonsta.
Even the visible Arturia KeyStep 37 (unused in the demo) is French. 😊

At the end, I recreate a classic delay feedback whoosh and boom just for fun. More demos coming soon… Anyma Phi is an interesting synth."

“IOLabs Flux 35 - Meet Anima Phi” by Friendly Noise

video upload by Friendly Noise

"In this video, Flux controls via Befaco VCMC the physical modelling monophonic synthesizer Aodyo Anima Phi. The unexpectedly organic sequences generated by Flux make a great combination with the wide range of Anima Phi’s sounds. Flux’ macro pots are assigned to Density, Compression, Curve and Humanise.
Slider 8 on VCMC generates mod-wheel CC."

This video shows the power of Flux after the firmware upgrade V1.06.
Flux is now fully controllable via midi messages and it sends midi control signals, too.
You can use the midi port on the back pannel or the coming little expansion module.
Flux is class compliant. :-)

When combined with different VST instruments, the intricate and ever evolving patterns that Flux can generate simply shine. Everything is based on an 8 step sequence."

Anima Phi, by AODYO, is a brand new monophonic synthesizer with an interesting approach. It’s a acoustic modelling synthesizer with also analog modelling parameters and effects onboard. Modulations routing are great and they will be undoubtedly the key for many great sounding patches to come.

In this video you can see the first contact with Anima Phi. I wanted to use the Seaboard, but it outputs multiple controller data and the Seaboard needs some editing with the Dashboard in order to make a template which can get the most of Seaboard + Anima Phi. So that Seaboard video will come in the next weeks for sure.

Even with an standard keyboard like the Arturia Keystep, the quality and playability of the Anima Phi shines from the beginning to the end of the video."

Anyma Phi: Sequenced using a groovebox & Roli Seaboard Rise 25

Aodyo Instruments

"In this demo, Romain sequences the Anyma Phi using a simple MC-303 groovebox.

All sounds are generated by the Anyma Phi, except for kick provided by the groovebox :
- a plucked string + a VA oscillator (bassline), going into filter, resonator and a little phaser
- a resonator plus delay
- an external input source (kick drum mixed into the Anyma Phi and passed through a filter + resonator)

NB: encoder response to be improved.

Demo and sound design by Romain Bricout.

Anyma Phi blends the classic ingredients of electronic music with physical modeling technology, allowing it to simulate acoustic sound sources, such as strings or reeds, as well as resonating structures, like wood, glass, or metal."

Anyma Phi: Played using a Roli Seaboard Rise 25

"In this demo, Romain plays the Anyma Phi using a Roli Seaboard Rise 25, directly plugged into the Anyma Phi USB port. He made a hybrid beefy bass patch made of physical modelling and virtual analog elements (VA oscillator and 24 dB/oct ladder filter).

Anyma Phi: Flute patch demo (aka “Mutaflute” sound universe)

Aodyo Instruments

It kind of sounds like a KORG Prophecy, also a physical modelling synth of course.

"In this demo, Julien Tortora is improvising with the overblowing and versatile sonic capabilities of an Anyma Phi modeled flute patch (aka “Mutaflute” sound universe).

Anyma Phi: Playing using a MIDI guitar (MIDI pickup + audio input)

Aodyo Instruments

"You can play the Anyma Phi as a synth, using a MIDI controller, or as an audio effects unit, using the audio input. Or… you can do both at the same time!
Here, Jonathan uses a guitar equipped with a Fishman TriplePlay MIDI pickup that sends the MIDI data of his performance to the Anyma Phi, in addition to the guitar's own audio output.
Having both MIDI and audio allows you to augment your guitar sound with resonators and other physical models that are always kept in tune with your playing, opening a wide range of possibilities!

Anyma Phi is an affordable hybrid monophonic synthesizer that allows you to create new sound universes inspired from the real world, where objects collide, vibrate, and resonate.

Anyma Phi blends the classic ingredients of electronic music with physical modeling technology, allowing it to simulate acoustic sound sources, such as strings or reeds, as well as resonating structures, like wood, glass, or metal."

Anyma Phi: Percussive Playing Surface & Resonating Strings Demos

Anyma Phi: Percussive playing surface Demo
Aodyo Instruments

"The percussive playing surface will allow you to tap and scratch your sounds directly on the case, making your performance even more expressive and fun! Here is a quick demo of what we could integrate into Anyma Phi's case.

This would be made possible by integrating a piezoelectric contact microphone into the case. The resulting sound would be available to use on the Anyma as an audio input, ready to be fed into resonators and effects!"

"An affordable hybrid monophonic synthesizer that allows you to create new sound universes inspired from the real world, where objects collide, vibrate, and resonate

Anyma Phi blends the classic ingredients of electronic music with physical modeling technology, allowing it to simulate acoustic sound sources, such as strings or reeds, as well as resonating structures, like wood, glass, or metal. Anyma Phi is compact enough to stand on your keyboard, or anywhere on your desk, and is compatible with any MIDI controller, such as keyboards, sequencers, or even wind controllers, including our own Sylphyo! [see posts here]

Whether you play live or record in the studio, design sounds or play presets, Anyma Phi will become an indispensable tool. It can even be used as a stand-alone effects processor, or as part of a guitar effects pedal setup.


The heart of the Anyma Phi is the matrix, which provides a quick and easy way to explore your sounds by following a physical metaphor, with four macros for each of the five stages of sound generation.

With its matrix, Anyma Phi offers a straightforward way to tweak, explore, and create sound universes. It also provides easy ways to make your sound react to your MIDI controllers with mapping shortcuts. But don't be fooled by the simplicity!

If you want to dive deeper, you can take control of the powerful semi-modular synth engine beyond the matrix, with oscillators covering a wide range of synthesis techniques, effects, and modulators.

By connecting those together, you can create any kind of sound, and control it any way you want.

Il y avait .. à vent...

Laurent Baloran

Baloran controlled by Aodyo Sylphyo wind instrument. Googlish translation below.

"Laurent, un camarade nordiste et son équipe ont conçu le Sylphyo, un instrument à vent autonome et midi via le lynk. Bien sûr, j'ai voulu m’intéresser au midi et sa liaison avec The River. J'ai profité de la version 2.0 de l'OS de The River pour adapter l'information de souffle CC11 au fonctionnement de The River : lissage du flux, modification du cycle de l'enveloppe (le decay 'disparait' et le sustain est 'remplacé' par le souffle...),
Tout ce que vous entendez sort du River, une prise, effets inclus (le nouveau Shim). Voilà, vous constaterez avec effroi que je n'ai pas beaucoup bossé la flûte à l'école ;)"

Googlish:

"Laurent, a northern comrade and his team designed the Sylphyo, an autonomous and midi wind instrument via the lynk. Of course, I wanted to take an interest in Midi and its connection with The River. I took advantage of version 2.0 of The River OS to adapt the CC11 breath information to the operation of The River: smoothing the flow, modifying the envelope cycle (the decay 'disappears' and the sustain is 'replaced' by breath ...),
Everything you hear comes out of the River, one plug, effects included (the new Shim). Here, you will note with fright that I did not work a lot the flute at school;)"

Sylphyo Quick Start: With a MIDI synthesizer

Published on May 24, 2018 Aodyo Instruments

Spot the synth.

"Want to use the Sylphyo to play your favorite synth? This video shows you how in one minute.
If this is the first time you use your Sylphyo, make sure you charge it for up to 8 hours before using it.
You will need a MIDI cable (not included) to connect the MIDI output of the wireless receiver device to the MIDI input of your synthesizer. Power the wireless receiver using the included USB cable and charger, and turn on your Sylphyo and your synth. That's it!

Sylphyo is a next-generation wireless MIDI wind controller made in France by Aodyo Instruments. The Sylphyo allows you to play any kind of sound (or synthesizer) like a traditional woodwind instrument, with their unmatched feeling and expressive possibilities. If you play the saxophone, recorder, flute, trumpet, clarinet, oboe, or whistle, you'll feel at home with the Sylphyo. If you don't, it's a wonderful way to get started with wind instruments. In both cases, the Sylphyo combines the countless possibilities of electronic instruments with the feeling of acoustic traditional instruments."

Two Days Left to Fund the AODYO SYLPHYO WIRELESS MIDI WIND CONTROLLER

Just a heads up, there are only two days left to fund the AODYO SYLPHYO on Indiegogo, and they have not yet reached their goal. If this is something you want to see happen, you might want to consider funding it vs. waiting to pick one up later.
