ClariMate is an electronic device designed for real time measurement of boehm clarinet
player input :

• The device is constantly detecting the fingerings using an audio stimulus (the sound you can hear coming from the unit)
• From the mouthpiece side, blowing pressure and reed placement are also monitored with specific sensors
• These parameters drive a sound synthesis which can be embedded or external (using the MIDI communication protocol)
• The ClariMate parameters are adjustable using the ClariMate app
• Note that there is no acoustic sound, the reed should not vibrate

As every instrument and clarinet player are different they must customise their setting to the
clarinet used and the way of blowing :
 The musician has to do a Training set, like that the device will detect their way of
fingering on their specific instrument without latency.
 The musician has to adjust their breath parameters to be closer to their natural
playing style.

Try the following steps with your ClariMate connected to the app:
 Page “Synth Controls” Check the ClariMate volume (should be about 85)
 Page “Reed and Breath Controls” Check the Breath sensitivity (should be 100)
 Page “Reed and Breath Controls” Check the Breath threshold (should be 10)
 Add the Air adjuster plug diameter 2mm

Try the following steps with your ClariMate connected to the app:
 Page “Synth Controls” Check the Stimulus volume (should be higher than 60)
 Page “Training set”, Train or retrain the specific notes or the entire range of the
clarinet
 Page “Training set”, check the percentage of the quality of note detection (this should
be above 97%), note that the level of noise in your immediate environment impacts
this level, in which case you will need to increase the stimulus level.

 Page “Training set”, do a full training set
 Page “Training set”, Check that all notes are detected with a quality over 99%

 Page “Reed and Breath Controls”, decrease the breath sensitivity
 Page “Reed and Breath Controls”, increase the breath threshold

 Turn on your ClariMate in yellow mode (failsafe mode) by holding both the USB and
bluetooth buttons and pressing the power button.
 Connect your ClariMate via the USB cable provided to a computer running the
ClariMate app
 Update the firmware manually by going to Tools -> Download and Update Firmware
and follow the instructions

 Make sure your ClariMate is fully updated via USB through a computer before
attempting to connect to Bluetooth.

Note that If you are an Android user and do not see the ClariMate you may have to reset
your Android phone’s internet parameters, you can find guides for your specific Android
phone on the internet.
