Have you ever asked yourself how you can become faster on your instrument? The answer normally is: practice, practice, practice. On the web you find some tricks to do this more effectively. But in the end it’s all hard work. With a wind controller, especially a Sylphyo or any controller with an EWI fingering, there is another important aspect to speed: optimising your fingering<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only recently I found a comprehensible list of all EWI fingerings. You find it here: https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/52131251\/EWI-Fingering-A-Somewhat-More-Complete-Listing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Un)fortunately a Sylphyo is not an EWI: Whyle a Sylphyo has only two sensors for the pinkies, an EWI has 3 metal rods for every pinkie. This makes EWI fingering more flexible, but also more complicated. But there are still more than enough fingerings for a certain note even on a Sylphyo. With the help of the EWI list above, I tried to puzzle out every possible version for every of the twelve notes of scale. You find my complete list in the appendix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
