  • Page 4 Master Volume, Master Tune and Scale On the Sound screen Soft Button 4 (Mas- ter..) opens the Master Parameter screen. The Volume and Tune parameters are now modulateable, so the Master Volume could still be instantly accessable when using a Macro Control.
  • Page 5 Priority (Lowest, Latest, Highest): When hitting multiple keys, they are sorted by the chosen priority. Keys matching the chosen priority determine the pitch of the Mono voice. When releasing the priorized key, the pitch will be determined by the key with second closest priority match.
  • Page 6 Unison Phase parameter. Split and Layer Sounds In earlier versions the C15 only supported “Single” Sounds, where all voices are con- trolled by the same set of parameters. Now “Split”...
  • Page 7 Creating a Split or Layer Sound Load the (Single) Preset for the first Part. On the Sound screen press the Edit button to open the Sound Edit Screen. Select “Convert to Split” or “Convert to Layer” by navigating with the Dec/Inc but- tons or the Encoder, then press the Enter button.
  • Page 8 When a Dual Preset has been loaded, Soft Buttons 1 and 4 will now each serve two purposes. In order to explain each individ- ual step of the Load process, the “Direct Load” option should be disabled at first. Press and hold Soft Button 4 for around a second in order to do so.
  • Page 9 ࠎ Note that the Load to Part process distinguishes and remembers different aspects of selection: selected Target: referring to the currently loaded Preset’s selected Part selected Source: referring to the currently selected Preset (if the Preset is of Type Single) or the currently selected Preset’s Part (if the Preset is of Type Split or Layer) This means, that any time the Load to Part process is invoked, all Source selec-...
  • Page 10 Adjusting the Split Point On the Split Sound screen the Split Point is shown in the center. It can be edited directly by the Encoder and the Dec/Inc buttons. If Part I is selected it shows the highest key of the lower key range. If Part II is selected it shows the lowest key of the upper key range.
  • Page 11 Muting a Part of a Layer Sound On the Layer Sound screen you can use the Encoder and the Dec/Inc buttons to mute one of the Parts: Turning the Encoder to the left or using the Dec button will mute Part II. Turning the Encoder to the right or using the Inc button will mute Part I.
  • Page 12 ࠎ When muting a Part of a Layer sound, all connections to the output and the other Part will be interrupted. However, the mute stage of a Part is applied non-destructively to the actual sig- nal, which will still be generated, including its internal feedback. When a muted Part is unmuted, it should sound as if it hadn’t been muted.
  • Page 13 The full level range of Part I spans from the lowest key (C1) to the adjustable “Fade From” key. Here begins the fade-out. Its width is adjustable by the “Fade Range” parameter. The full level range of Part II spans from the highest key (C6) to the adjustable “Fade From”...
  • Page 14 Part Volume and Tune The Volume and Tuning of a Part can be adjusted by its Part Volume and Part Tune parameters. The stereo signals of both Parts are mixed before the Master Volume control. The Master Tune is added to the two Part Tunes. When a Single Sound is converted to a Split or Layer Sound, its former Master Volume and Master Tune will be copied to its Part Volume and Part Tune while Master Volume and Master Tune are set to zero.

  • Page 15: Parameter Organization

    Parameter Organization ➊ The Hardware Sources, their Amounts, Macro Controls, Master and Scale parameters are considered global and are present only once within a Preset, regardless of the Sound type (Single, Split, Layer). ➋ Most parameters (from Envelope A up to Reverb) are considered local and are present once for Single Presets or twice within a Split or Layer Preset.
  • Page 16 Part are highlighted. Storing a Split or Layer Sound as a Preset A Split or Layer Sound can be stored in the same way as a Single Sound. The C15 Banks can hold Presets of all three types. ...
  • Page 17 Converting a Split (Layer) Sound to a Layer (Split) Sound While in a Parameter, Part or Sound screen, select the Part to be converted by Soft Button 1 (I/II). Then open the Edit menu of the Sound screen. Select the “Convert to Layer”...
  • Page 18 Envelope A/B/C - Level Velocity Level Velocity parameters are bipolar now. For values below zero, the resulting effect is inverted (high Key velocities produce smaller peaks of the Envelope curve, low Key velocities produce higher peaks of the Envelope curve). Oscillator A/B - Phase Now realtime/continuous and modulateable (can be used for PWM, for example).

  • Page 19: New Settings

    The calibration will be stored by the C15, so the calibration is only necessary once after a pedal has been plugged in, even after restarts of the device.

  • Page 23: Connecting Pedals

    2. Connect the pedal cable to the C15 at one of the TRS Sockets numbered “Pedal 1...4”. The C15 may already be powered on or off, it does not matter. If on, try to insert the cable quickly into the TRS socket (in less than 1 second).
  • Page 24 List of Pedal Presets Name / Type Remarks Generic 3-Wire Expression/Damper Pedal, Tip-Active (“Roland” pin-out).
