Vers. 06 (2021-06-11)C15 Studio Package - Manual AddendumIntroductionIn the development of the C15 we first focused on human control and playability. We designeda self-contained instrument "for those who love to play keys".The implementation of a MIDI interface is now widening up the spectrum of applications forthe C15 - especially in the studio environment.The second extension that is included in this software release is an internal digital recorder. Itautomatically stores the audio output signal of the last hours. Selected segments of the audiocan be downloaded in a lossless digital format. It also allows to restore the synth engine'sstate at any point in time within the recorded audio.The MIDI Implementation of the C15With the Studio Package, the C15 can receive and send MIDI messages. Received MIDImessages can control the C15 and affect the sound, similar to playing the instrument itself.When playing on the C15, MIDI messages can be sent, reflecting the performance. Note thatreceived MIDI messages will never be sent, so there is no "MIDI Thru" or loopbackfunctionality.Receive and Send options include a Channel (Omni, 1 ... 16) specifier, filtering eventsaccordingly. When a Split Sound is loaded, a secondary (Split) Channel can be used in order toseparate both Parts from each other.As classical MIDI operates on 7 bit resolution (128 steps), there is a loss in accuracy (the C15operates on much higher precision). Nevertheless, precision can be maintained by enabling"High Res." options. When enabled, the resolution increases to 14 bit (16384 steps). Values arethen encoded as a pair of MSB (coarse) and LSB (fine) components, effectively doubling theamount of messages. This is still compatible with the classical resolution, as the LSBcomponent is optional when receiving MIDI messages.The C15 can send and receive MIDI messages for the following events:Note On and Note OffWhen enabled, the C15 will produce sounds when receiving MIDI Note messages. Likewise, theC15 will send MIDI Note messages when playing on the internal keybed, if enabled. Note Onand Off velocities are supported and can optionally operate on high resolution, using an1
