21-49 Studio Package Improvements 1

This update addresses the newly introduced MIDI features and provides bug fixes, refinements and further enhancements.

MIDI Settings

  • The layout and some of the labels of the MIDI Settings have been revised.
  • In the new Channels section the MIDI Channels for both Send and Receive can be set.
  • The Mappings section has been renamed to Assignments.
  • The Set to Defaults entries have been moved to the Assignments section.
  • The new Routings section cointains a matrix editor that determines for Notes, Program Changes and each of the 8 Sources separately, if MIDI messages are sent or received via the Primary MIDI channel or the Split channel. In the matrix you can also enable and disable the Local connections between the elements of the C15's play interface and the C15's sound engine.
  • There is a global Local Enable in the second line of the MIDI Settings. When it is set to Off the Local connections of all elements are interrupted.
  • The Panic entry has been moved to the first line.
  • The former Receive, Send and Local sections have been removed in favor of the new approach.
  • Correct display of CC numbers for 7-bit and 14-bit resolution in the Assignments and in the labels.

Local Off for Ribbons

If a is set to Local Off the Display shows the MIDI CC that is assigned. The Ribbon LEDs show the position that is sent via MIDI.

MIDI Program Change Bank

Selecting a Preset in the PC Bank will send a Program Change message also when the bank is not selected (Direct Load = Off).

All Notes Off, Internal Voice Reset

More consistent behaviour when resetting the internal voices and sending a All Notes Off message via MIDI. This is used to avoid stuck notes when the MIDI routings or Local connections are changed.

Panic Function

Pressing all four buttons of the Unit (-, +, Funct, Mode) at the same time will reset all internal voices and send All Notes Off via MIDI.

WIFI Passphrase

The passphrase can now be edited and reset to the default (88888888). A Randomize (Dice) function is still available, too.

Fixes and Improvements

  • in some Preset Store functions
  • in the Backup Restore function
  • in the New Bank function
  • in the Bank Collapse function
  • in the Bank Import function
  • in the Preset screen
  • in the Preset/Bank file format to fix a problem with Split Sound parameters

Please note

The Bank and Backup files stored with this software version cannot be loaded with earlier versions.

Known Issues

  • When Local is disabled, not every necessary All Notes Off message is sent to stop stuck notes.
  • The button combination for Panic can lead to unintended changes on the base unit settings.
