I love Stephan‘s smile when Matt hits the keys. He really enjoys watching and hearing Matts playing - how can he not 😊!

What a genius Stephan is to actually go back to the roots and build a synth only based on sine wave oscillators since EVERY sound is built out of sine waves, and then tweak those oscillators in every imaginable way to actually achieve every imaginable sound, be it acoustic or artificial ones. Moreover a built-in webserver to comfortably edit this beast. Congratulations!

You can see the pride in Stephan's eyes when you see his instrument properly played. Well done, sir.

Dude hit the jackpot when he got matt to play this thing on camera. That’s why he kept looking at the camera smiling. Lol

At last, a breakthrough synth ! I was getting desperate ; too many people copy each other and it seems no one was thinking outside the box. Kudos to Stephan Schmitt

C15 is so versatile, it's what the DX7 should of evolved into, they missed the evolution boat. So glad we have Stephan Schmitt to think outside the box on FM synthesis. Love the C15, thank you for upload.

I own this beautiful synth. It is handmade and gorgeous to play with best keybed ever. On top of that Stephan is the kindest man and his team is incredible!

By far the best and most impressive demo of an instrument I’ve watch since a long time. The synth and the playing are stellar.

[sammcdermott]

Matt’s playing never ceases to amaze me. they picked the perfect person to demo this instrument. so many of the more cinematic ideas he played could easily be dropped into movies. so inspiring.

Brilliant instrument. Brilliant performance. Two brilliant gentlemen. The best of our industry!

[basspartout]

The amazing sound quality and expressiveness blows me away everytime I hear this beautiful instrument!! Truly unique!!

[TomLamb]

This is the best, most different sounding synth I've heard in a long time. As Matt says, truly acoustic sounding and those pads/atmospheres 😮

[studentsmusic]

know the c15 since quite a while and have seen many demos. Matt nails it exactly the way that convinces me to buy one. Great musicianship, instant access and feel for its sound capacity and instantly understanding how to use certain sounds. I would take the same sort of approach checking a new instrument and Matt did it for us all...thanks for that video and thanks to nonlinear labs for providing such a great instrument.

The C15 sounds even better under your fingers. Really fascinating! 🎹 😍

[SynthgodXXX]

Now this just sounds glorious! Thank you, Matt!

[mrdavies]

Brilliant playing on a brilliant instrument! Thanks, Matt! 😍

[paulmacksmith]

Wow, Matt and the C15 seem like a match. Wonderful playing and the instrument matches your style. Fabulous

[hydroglyphic]

Matt casually bounces from genre to genre and plays each one beautifully

[Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Astounding machine, what a gift to synth players and explorers. Matt is extreme talented too, I love his synergy with different synths

[dillipphunbar]

What a beautiful instrument, aesthetically, and sonically. Of course, Matt's undeniable talent helps to showcase it.
