8) Customizing the variometer sound
Your instrument allows you to fully customize the variometer sound according to your preferences.
You can define the sound frequency associated with each vertical speed range to obtain audio feedback perfectly suited to your flying style.
Creating the sound configuration
Go to the following page: https://www.syride.com/fr/variosetup
Select your instrument.
The default sound curve is displayed. It represents the relationship between vertical speed and sound frequency:
the horizontal axis (x-axis) corresponds to vertical speed (vario, in m/s),
the vertical axis (y-axis) corresponds to sound frequency (in Hz).
Modify the curve by moving the points to define the desired sound for each vario range.
You can listen to the sound rendering at any time using the speaker icons in the configurator.
Download the sound configuration file to your computer or your phone.
Transferring the configuration to the instrument
Launch the Syride Link application on computer or mobile.
Connect your instrument via USB or Bluetooth.
Click on “Send a file”, then select the downloaded sound configuration file.
The new sound configuration is immediately applied to the instrument.
Editing an existing file
It is also possible to open and modify a sound configuration file already present on your computer from the configurator.
⚠️ Important note: Sound configuration files are not stored on Syride servers. Make sure to keep your files if you want to reuse them later.
⚠️ Important note: It is possible to retrieve the sound configuration from the instrument for editing using the Link software on computer or smartphone by using the “retrieve a file” button.
Usage tips
A higher frequency produces a higher-pitched sound (often more audible, but less comfortable to listen to). A progressive variation of the frequency allows better perception of lift intensity.
