C15 Tutorial: Creating Resonator Sounds in Split Mode

video upload by Nonlinear Labs

"In this tutorial Raffaele Colasacco explains the very unusual possibility of creating resonator sounds in the split mode of the C15, where you can, for example, create resonances of pressed keys on the left side by playing on the right side.
Tim Sund then plays numerous examples in which this new function is used effectively.

A Revolution in Visual FM Synthesis

Experience FM synthesis like never before with the SSB X-Flow, a groundbreaking instrument for Native Instruments Reaktor.

X Flow reimagines FM with an innovative visual approach, replacing complex matrices with intuitive XY fields, putting the power of FM directly at your fingertips.

Key Features:

Visual FM Matrix:Ditch the confusing charts! X-Flow uses four XY fields to represent the FM matrix, providing a clear and direct way to shape your sound. Each operator's modulation source is visually displayed, making FM synthesis more accessible and creative.

Expressive Performance: X-Flow is designed for performance. Modulate your FM creations live with your mouse, MIDI controllers, or even with the nuanced control of Mono-, Poly-Aftertouch or MPE, for unparalleled sonic expression.

Deep Modulation Capabilities: Dive into a world of intricate sound design with extensive modulation options. X-Flow features 4 FM Envelopes per voice, 2 LFOs per voice (which can be polyphonic, monophonic, key synced or one-shot) for Pitch, Amp, and Filter modulation, and 8 XY LFOs per voice to further animate the FM matrix.

Powerful Sound Engine: X-Flow boasts a 24-voice engine with 4 operators, each offering 5 selectable waveforms (Sine, Tri, Saw, Pulse, Square). Shape your sound further with a dedicated filter section (including Low Pass and High Pass options) and an Overdrive effect for added grit and character.
(16 Voices for the MPE version)

Advanced Control: Fine-tune your sound with detailed controls including individual operator Pitch and Level, voice panning with randomization, and comprehensive Voice Mode options for polyphony, monophony, unison, and detuning.
Presets are mapped for Komplete Kontrol and Maschine

Nonlinear Labs C15 - CINEMATIC - the new Sound Designer Bank by Kevin Schroeder (Hans Zimmer)

video upload by Nonlinear Labs

"In this video, Tim Sund introduces all 51 presets of the new CINEMATIC Bank by German sound designer Kevin Schroeder. In this sound set Kevin draws from the full and proves why film composer Hans Zimmer has entrusted him with the sound design for his film scores since Wonder Woman 1984.

In all examples the ribbons display the movement of the two expression pedals.
The sound was recorded directly with the C15's internal recorder and was not processed in any way.

Kevin´s bank as well as the banks of the other sound designers, who have created sounds for the C15, can be downloaded here: https://www.nonlinear-labs.de/support...

Nonlinear Labs C15 - Firmware Update 2025

video upload by Nonlinear Labs

"We are pleased to release a major firmware update for the C15 just in time for the NAMM 2025.
One of the major changes is that the polyphony will be increased from 24 to 48 voices at the previous sample rate of 48 kHz. Alternatively, a higher sample rate of 96 kHz with 24 voices is offered.
The C15 audio engine has been expanded to support polyphonic modulation sources. In the first step, polyphonic aftertouch can now be received via MIDI.
Pitch bend and sustain functions can now also be used independently of macro controls, freeing them up for other modulations.
A sostenuto pedal function and the ability to switch presets and banks via footswitch have also been added.
There are also a number of improvements to user-friendliness and optimizations to the operating system.

Presentation & Music: Tim Sund

first patch Synthetic Sound Labs Ian Fritz Hypster 5U Modular Synth

video upload by I like the Chaos.

"The Hypster is getting rate cv from a Dotcom q119 sequencer and is Frequency modulating an Ian Fritz Teezer VCO. It is also providing cv to a Steiner Filter also from SSL. The Filter is also getting cv from the sequencer. From the Filter the audio goes to a Musonics VCA turned up with no cv. I had that patcher for future plans that aren't in this video. Then to a Manecolabs Clusterverb for reverb and delay.
Very simple patch but sounds great.
This is the 5u version. NLC Nonlinear Circuits did a Eurorack version."

Kaivo: Body Module Overview

video upload by Madrona Labs

"Overview of Kaivo's Body Module

Kaivo is a software instrument combining two powerful synthesis techniques (physical modeling and granular synthesis) in an easy-to-use semi-modular package. It’s laid out a bit like an acoustic instrument; the GRANULATOR module acts like the player’s touch, exciting one or more tuned objects (here, the RESONATOR module, based on physical models of resonant objects) that come together in a central resonating body (the BODY module, also physics-based)."

Nonlinear Labs C15 Workshop at SchneidersLaden

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"The Nonlinear Labs C15: The character of the C15 synthesizer stems from a puristic digital engine which produces a unique palette of sounds seamlessly spanning from organic and acoustic to experimental and electronic.

Nonlinear Labs was founded in 2011 by Stephan Schmitt. The company is dedicated to building advanced electronic instruments for performing musicians, focusing on playability, expressiveness, quality, and durability. The synth engine of the C15 is called Phase 22. The core structure is a phase modulation synth that is based on two sine oscillators and two sine shapers only. Their signals can be passed through a comb filter, a state-variable filter, and a chain of five effects.

The design process for Phase 22 aimed at building an expressively playable instrument that has a strong individual character. At the same time the set of parameters should be small enough to be easily accessible."
