C4 Commander

Scribble Strips

The scribble strip displays a name describing
the parameter. The name can be modified in the
Edit window.

SPLIT

The SPLIT button toggles the controls on the
C4 such that two open setups can be displayed
on a single C4 page. Use the arrow keys to
scroll through the currently selected bank's
parameters (as shown by the C4C on-screen
highlighted controls).
Press the SPLIT button once and the 1/3 mode
is activated. Bank 1 controls the current layout,
and banks 2-4 control the next consecutive open
layout (as displayed in the Edit window).
Press the SPLIT button again, and the 2/2
mode is activated, where banks 1 and 2 control
the current layout, and banks 3 and 4 control
the next open layout.
Press the SPLIT button again to activate the
3/1 mode, where banks 1-3 control the current
layout, and bank 4 controls the next open layout.
Press the SPLIT button again to turn off the
SPLIT mode, and all four banks control the cur-
rently selected layout.

LOCK

When the SPLIT mode is enabled, you can lock
the upper or lower layout so that it is not af-
fected by the PARAMETER or BANK/PAGE
buttons. This allows you to retain frequently
used controls in one layout while scrolling
through another layout's controls.

FUNCTIONS

There are four buttons in the FUNCTIONS sec-
tion: VALUES and RUN/EDIT, and two buttons
that are not used.
VALUES: Press this button to display the cur-
rent values of all the controls in the scribble
strip. The LED above the button lights to indi-
cate that the VALUES button is active. Press
again to return to displaying the parameters.
RUN/EDIT: Press this button to open the Edit
window. It performs the same function as the
Run/Edit button in the upper-right corner of the
GUI. The LED above the button lights while in
Edit mode.

MODIFIERS

There are four modifier buttons: SHIFT, LAY-
OUT, VALUES, and one button that isn't used.
SHIFT: When this momentary button is pressed,
turning a V-Pot will increment/decrement the val-
ue by the amount defined in the Settings window.
LAYOUT: Press this momentary button to dis-
play the current layout in the top line of the top
scribble strip.
VALUES: Press this momentary button to dis-
play the current values of all the controls in the
scribble strip. This works just like the VALUES
button in the FUNCTIONS section, except it is
momentary (the values appear only while the
button is pressed).

PARAMETER

LAYOUT Left and Right: Use these buttons to
scroll back and forth among the open layouts,
as they appear in the Edit window. If there is an
active split layout, these buttons scroll the ac-
tive bank of the split.
