23-17 Spring Update Improvements 2

This update further refines newly introduced features and provides additional bug fixes and enhancements.

Enhancements

New: MIDI - Active Sensing

Some USB-to-MIDI adapters can flexibly change their MIDI ports and switch from Send to Receive automatically, when no MIDI has been sent for a while. Currently, ESI (MIDIMATE) and Swissonic (MidiConnect2) products are known to do this. The switching results in glitchy behavior, but can be avoided by repeatedly sending Active Sensing messages (which should otherwise have no effect).

Therefore, a new option has been added to the Assignments section. If enabled, active sensing messages will be permanently emitted, preventing the connected MIDI device from switching its ports. As this causes more traffic (which may not be wanted), the option can be disabled.

Bugfixes and Improvements

  • Preset Search - Hashtags

    The search algorithim has been improved and now distinguishes ordinary search terms from hashtags (hashtags can now only be found when a search term starts with the # symbol). With this distinction, the Properties search option seemed redundant and has been removed.

  • Presets - cut and paste

    After pasting a cut preset, the original preset will now be removed, as it should be.

  • Unison - parameter selection

    In Sounds with in focus, parameters of the Group now show correct values when traversing the parameter stack with 4.

  • MIDI - Local On/Off after booting

    After booting the C15 and then immediately changing the Local Enable option (or specific Local options in the Routings section), Sources wrongfully changed their values. This has been fixed and the values now remain in sync.

  • Documentation - mobile layout

    On mobile devices, the appearance of the C15 Documentation was compromised when viewing in portrait mode. The additional menu bar of the mobile browser overshadowed the internal navigation and menu, effectively disabling navigation alltogether. This has been fixed and the navigation and menu should now be permanently visible in portrait mode (except for iPhones, in which case we recommend to fall back to viewing in landscape mode).

  • Base Unit - booting in Play Mode

    When booting the C15, the Unit will now always start in Mode, discarding the last active mode before shutdown. This ensures, that Shift is always visible after booting and can be modified directly.
