Manipulating Sounds

Init Sound

When initializing, every parameter of the sound (or part) will start a transition to its default value, as defined by the Smoothing Time in the system settings.

In sounds, press 1 to select and then the Button to recall the Init sound. In or sounds, press the Button, navigate to the Init Sound option using the or / and press the Button. (There is also an Init Part option in order to only initialize the selected Part.)

Init Sound

The Tab contains a menu icon (...) which provides an Init option for sounds. The menu will instead contain the Init Sound and Init Part options, when the current sound type is or .

Store/Reset Init Sound

The Init Sound represents every parameter with it's default value. The default values were carefully chosen to form a meaningful initial state (in which no sound will play, as all channels of the Output Mixer are disabled). Nevertheless, custom defaults are also possible.

In order to store the current sound as the Init Sound, press the Button and navigate to Device Settings > Store Init Sound, then press the Button to confirm. The default Sound Type and the parameter values will be overwritten. In order to restore the factory defaults, chosse Reset Init Sound instead.

Store/Reset Init Sound

Click on the Menu in the top-right corner and choose Setup in order to open the Window. In the first tab (Device Settings), the Store and Reset options can be found on the bottom.

If you encounter problems navigating the Menu intuitively, please refer to chapters Setup Navigation and Setup (C15 System Settings).

Randomize

When randomizing, every parameter of the sound (or selected part) will start a transition to a randomized value, as defined by the Smoothing Time in the system settings. The randomization amount is adjustable.

Press and use the or/ to navigate to Randomize (when in a sound) or Randomize Part (when in a or sound), then press . Now, the amount of randomization can be adjusted. To escape randomization, press 1 or 2. To apply randomization, press Enter.

Randomize

In the Tab, press the menu icon (...) and choose Randomize (when in a sound) or Randomize Part (when in a or sound). A dialog will appear, providing the adjustable randomization amount and an Apply button to complete the process.

Sound Manipulation and Locking

As described in chapter Locking, parameters of locked groups are not affected by sound manipulations. For example, randomizing all parameters may not be a good idea when considering the Master, Unison and Scale groups, as the random change can have too much of an impact, leading to unwanted, bad sounding or even harmful results (should the Master Volume increase considerably). So we recommend to lock these three groups before using the randomize function.
