Introduction

Silent Way is a suite of plug-ins designed for use with analogue synthesisers, and espe-

cially 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. Also, with the addition of the CV Input plug-in, it is possible to

bring CVs from the synth into the computer, for recording or processing.

For most of the Silent Way plug-ins 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 impos-

sible. Refer to the Expert Sleepers website for up-to-date information on compatible de-

vices and cabling recommendations.

However, please see Silent Way AC Encoder below for information on how Silent Way

may be used with almost any audio interface, even if not DC coupled.

There are currently twelve plug-ins in the Silent Way suite - Silent Way DC, Silent Way

LFO, Silent Way Step LFO, Silent Way Quantizer, Silent Way Trigger, Silent Way CV Input,

Silent Way CV To OSC, Silent Way CV To MIDI, Silent Way SMUX, Silent Way AC En-

coder, Silent Way Sync and Silent Way Voice Controller. These are described in more detail

below.

All plug-ins also feature

•

full MIDI and OSC control.

•

MIDI/OSC scriptability.

•

sample-accurate handling of MIDI note messages.
