6. Setup (C15 System Settings)
The C15 also features a few global settings that are preset-independant. They are
organized in the Setup menu and mainly define the interaction with peripherals (such
as sensitivities for velocities, external Pedal integration or connected devices via Wi-Fi).
Besides, the Setup menu allows for installing updates and transferring backups.
Chapter 4.12 Setup Navigation provides all information on accessing and navigating the
Setup menu both on the Panel Unit and on the Graphical User Interface. The following
passages explain all provided menu items.
Device Settings [Panel Unit, Graphical UI]
Edit Smoothing Time
When editing a parameter, the new adjusted value will be approached within the Edit
Smoothing Time, which can range between zero and 200 ms. Higher times will lead to a
slower response of the sound engine. This time does not aect preset recalls or modula-
tions (having their own, individual times).
Velocity Curve
The Velocity Curve determines the sensitivity of the instrument for key velocities. A so
setting increases the sensitivity for low velocities, a hard setting increases the sensitivity
for high velocities. With the normal setting, the sensitivity remains equal for all velocities.
Aertouch Curve
The Aertouch Curve determines the sensitivity of the instrument for Aertouch ges-
tures. A so setting increases the sensitivity for low Aertouch intensities, a hard setting
increases the sensitivity for high Aertouch intensities. With the normal setting, the
sensitivity remains equal throughout.
Bender Curve
The Bender Curve determines the sensitivity of the instrument for Bender gestures. A so
setting increases the sensitivity for low bending intensities, a hard setting increases the
sensitivity for high bending intensities. With the normal setting, the sensitivity remains
equal throughout.
Pedal Settings
As described in chapter 5.4 Using Hardware Sources, the integration of external Pedals
can be done manually. For each Pedal, the circuit type can be chosen. Nevertheless, we
recommend to connect Pedals only when the instrument is switched o, in order to avoid
a wrong and possibly harmful integration.
Preset Glitch Suppression
This option can be enabled in order to avoid drastical changing pitches and other
emerging artifacts, being provoked by a preset change. The suppression will be realized
by clearing (flushing) all delay buers when a new preset is loaded.
߰ Note that this feature is not fully implemented yet, as the suppression is not perfect in
every case and can still produce small artifacts, depending on the preset change’s circum-
stances. But in general, the eect is quite noticeable.
GUI Settings [Graphical UI only]
A complete reference to the settings of the Graphical User Interface can be found in
chapter 4.15 Graphical UI Functionality.
Hardware UI [Panel Unit only]
Encoder Acceleration
The Encoder in the Edit Panel can detect acceleration gestures and apply them to an item
in focus accordingly. With suicient acceleration, even high resolution parameters can be
completely traversed with only one or a few turns of the encoder.
Ribbon Relative Factor
Similarly, drag gestures on the two Ribbon touchstrips can be amplified by the Ribbon
Relative Factor. This option is only eective, when a Ribbon is in relative mode.
Signal Flow Indication
As described in chapter 4.8 Overviews, the Flow Overview allows for a fast and easy
impression on how signals of a preset are routed. However, blinking LEDs may distract the
user in some cases, therefore the Flow Overview is optional.
System Info [Panel Unit, Graphical UI]
Device Name
The Device Name of the C15 instrument can be chosen by the user. It will appear in the
meta data of presets and determine the SSID of the Wi-Fi network. In order to complete
the renaming process, restart the instrument aerwards.
SSID
During the booting process, the SSID will be generated according to the Device Name. A
Wi-Fi network with the SSID should be available aer booting. Besides the Device Name,
the SSID contains a static prefix („NL-C15-“). When establishing a Wi-Fi connection, choose
the network with the corresponding SSID.
