3. Basic Concepts
Interaction with the C15 is possible in multiple ways, each consisting of a dierent organ-
isation and optimized layout of represented information, corresponding to the interface
used. However, the basic structure and handling remains comparable, as every interac-
tion possibility follows the main underlying principle.
These general concepts, as well as terms and keywords are subject of this chapter and
will be explained in further detail - in order to understand interaction methods on both
Hardware and Graphical User Interface, as well as the modulation mechanism and
presets. In total, there are three interfaces to consider:
The Base Unit provides access to all performance-related items (Hardware Sources,
keys). Furthermore, it can be used to edit parameters and navigate presets and banks.
Navigation of parameters is a candidate for future integration.
The Panel Unit can be used to select and edit parameters, modulation and system
settings. Presets, banks and the undo history can be navigated and managed. In short, all
relevant data can be modified on the Panel Unit.
The Graphical User Interface provides complete access to parameters and modulation
and system settings as well. In addition, there are some more helper features and settings
available. The user manual is also available as a separate HTML document.
Each interface holds items that are elements which can be interacted with (most of them
being part of a preset). In the following, items and their features will be explained in
general (before focussing on the individual interfaces in the following chapters).
Browser-specific issues
As already mentioned, there may be restrictions on some browsers, as there is no real
standard on functionality. We try to keep track of browser-specific issues and oer solu-
tions, if there are any. Please refer to the download section of our website at:

2.5 Pedal Integration
As mentioned, the safe way of integrating Pedals into the system would be when the
C15 is switched o. Aer all connections were made, the C15 can be switched on and all
connected Pedals will be recognized and integrated accordingly. For more information
about Pedal integration, refer to chapter 5.4 Using Hardware Sources.
