Silent Way
Silent Way is a suite of plug-ins designed for use as part of a modular
analogue synthesiser system. The plug-ins produce no sound themselves, nor
do they process sound - rather, they generate signals to be used as control
voltages (CVs), which can be patched into the control inputs of
oscillators, filters, VCAs etc. of an analogue system.
There are currently two plug-ins in the Silent Way suite - Silent Way DC
and Silent Way Voice Controller. These are described in more detail below.
It is anticipated that more plug-ins will be added to the suite in the
future - watch the website for product announcements.
All plug-ins also feature
* full MIDI and OSC control.
* MIDI/OSC scriptability.
* sample-accurate handling of MIDI note messages.
Silent Way DC
Silent Way DC is a simple plug-in that generates constant output signals.
It is intended to be used in conjunction with parameter automation (via
MIDI or directly by the host application) to generate varying signals. For
example, you could use it as an LFO where you draw out the LFO waveform in
your host.fs parameter automation GUI.
* Silent Way Voice Controller *
Silent Way Voice Controller is a virtual instrument plug-in designed to
directly control an analogue synthesiser by generating the appropriate CV
and gate signals via an appropriate audio interface.
By listening to the synthesiser.fs output signal, the plug-in is able to
calibrate itself to generate the appropriate pitch CV for the incoming MIDI
notes.
As well as the basic pitch and gate signals, the plug-in can generate
three multi-stage envelope CVs which you can feed to VCAs, VCFs etc. in
your synth.
* Device Compatibility *
For Silent Way to work, the audio interface between the computer and the
synth needs to be "DC coupled" i.e. capable of maintaining a DC voltage at
its outputs. Many interfaces include high-pass filters on the outputs which
makes this impossible. Refer to the device compatibility page for
up-to-date information.
Silent Way should work with pretty much any modular synth modules.
Because the Voice Controller can calibrate itself by listening to the
output of the synth, it is not limited to standard 1V/octave standards.
Indeed, it can drive modules not originally intended as oscillators (e.g.
LFOs) and still correctly track pitch. Again, refer to the device
compatibility page for information on which modules are known to work.
Really pitty stability these Expert Sleepers plugins are. We cannot get
working under some DAW even if it was an evaluating license. Must be a new
protection; we cannot know it is a bug or our fail.
