About these tutorials
These tutorials were written to make you find your way into the secrets of your
C15 synthesizer quickly and easily. Please consult the Quickstart Guide or the User
Manual to learn everything about the basic concept and setup of your C15 before
using these tutorials. Please also consult the User Manual any time to delve deeper
into the capabilities of the C15 synthesis engine, and to learn about all the details
of any of the parameters of the instrument.
A tutorial will teach you basic aspects of the C15’s concepts as well as the various
components of the sound engine, and how they interact with each other, in a
hands-on manner. It is an easy way to familiarize yourself with your C15, and a
starting point for your sound design work on the instrument it is, too.
If you feel like learning more about the details of a specific parameter (e.g. value
ranges, scaling, modulation capabilities etc), please refer to chapter 8.4. “Parameter
Reference” of the User Manual at any time. You can use the tutorials and the User
Manual in parallel.
The tutorials use the front panel of the instrument. In case you would rather like to
work with the Graphic User Interface, please refer to the Quickstart Guide or chap-
ter 7 “User Interfaces” of the User Manual first to learn about the basic concepts of
the GUI. Aer this, you will be able to easily apply the programming steps described
and transfer them from the hardware panel to the GUI.
Formats
These tutorials describe fairly simple programming examples you can follow step
by step. You will find lists boasting programming steps and figures that show the
C15’s user interface state. To make things perfectly clear, we make use of specific
formatting throughout the entire tutorial.
Buttons (Section) that need to be pressed are formatted in bold print. The name of
the section follows in (brackets). The Encoder is labelled the same way:
Sustain (Envelope A) … Encoder …
Secondary parameters that can be accessed by repeatedly hitting a button are
labelled in bold italic: Asym
