Updating a web site with pages about the studio … these photos are of the Nonlinear Labs C15. All Fujifilm X-T5 and available light.

So much fun.

I did a half-assed job when I initially set up the new controller last year, so the bottom of the #C15’s dedicated screen was clipped at the bottom. It’s been raised by one notch, and the whole screen is now visible.

I don’t use Chrome, but #NonlinearLabs recommends it for displaying the C15’s internal web server. I updated to the latest version, and now it’s running in Full Screen mode.

Today’s task: one 24-voice C15 patch running up top, and another down below – all from the C15. Here we go!

Nonlinear Labs introduces C15 Firmware Update 2025

Changes in the firmware update for C15 include increased polyphony (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.

1/3 Today’s challenge is to explore my #NonlinearLabs #C15’s new ability to accept polyphonic aftertouch via MIDI.

I have five keyboards that generate poly AT:

the new Native Instruments s88 mk3, a piano-length & action keyboard I bought last year just for this purpose,

The ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe, an organ-style synth keyboard with light action,

the Espressive E Osmose, with a unique key action all its own,

and two ROLI Seaboards … the rare 88 keywave Grand, and the smaller 2-octave RISE.

I used Stable Diffusion and some Photoshop compositing to make a signature card for a newly registered domain,

synthedelic.com. (I got synthedelia.com, too!)

Nothing there yet, and I still have some tweaks in mind for this … but I wanted to play show-and-tell.

(If you expand the image after opening it – it’s large – you can get rid of the aliasing.)

I created a tool for automatically discovering and installing #RAUC update bundles from attached block devices: https://crates.io/crates/caterpillar

I just released 0.1.0 as a first version with a very small set of features, but I'm really glad it is finally out there!

Big thanks go out to #nonlinearlabs for being so patient with this project and funding the work!

The filmmaker I’m working with is using a bunch of old footage from the late ’70s and early ’80s …

and he wants me to do cover versions of a couple of old funk tunes.

Last night, I set things up to do some vocoder work, so today I’ll be sounding like Mr. Roboto.

Here’s how it’s looking from my point of view … domo arigato!

More than 50 years ago, a friend handed me a pair of headphones, and said “you have to hear this.”

As I listened, I wondered why he thought it would interest me …

and then I heard Keith Emerson for the first time, playing his #Moog solo at the end of “Lucky Man.”

I clearly remember thinking “my god … *I* have to do *that*.”

The moment stayed with me. Today, I got a new poster, to go with another new inspiration.

Check out this spiffy trick built into my new synthesizer … when you start playing, it automatically records everything you do – even the patch setup!

• Permanent lossless recording of the digital output signal

• Hours of FLAC-compressed audio

• Browser-based graphical UI for review, playback and download

• The states of the synth engine along the time line can be restored (this is scary cool)

• Download of selected segments to the computer as WAV or FLAC files
