The Voice Controller is one of the more advanced plug-ins but it's also where most of us will probably start, allowing our DAWs to generate CV and gate control signals from a MIDI note input. Silent Way includes a total of 11 plug-ins that offer everything from the most simple DC voltage generators to complex options which will have you thinking about the potential of your analogue gear in entirely new ways. So, with the outputs sorted, it's time to get started with the software. Simply hook up the Eurorack power cable, connect the Lightpipe input and everything works. It's also one of the most friendly plug-and-play pieces of hardware you'll ever have the pleasure to use. However, we decided to test the new ES-3 module, which works on the same principle as the ES-1 but accepts an ADAT lightpipe digital input rather than analogue signals.įor those of us with a spare ADAT output on our interface, the ES-3 is almost certainly more convenient than tying up eight analogue outputs. It'll set you back £131 with DSUB input or £143 with quarter-inch jacks. If you're not confident following the instructions to wire up cables or passive breakout boxes with built-in rectifiers, Expert Sleepers offer the ES-1 module, an active breakout box in Eurorack format which converts up to eight analogue outputs into DC control voltages suitable for your synths.

Since most audio interfaces block DC voltages at their outputs, Silent Way is picky about which hardware can be used straight out of the box (a full list of compatible interfaces is available on Expert Sleepers' website).Īlternatively, Silent Way's AC Encoder plug-in avoids the need for DC-coupled outputs but requires a bit of DIY work to convert the signal back into DC for your synths.

However, before we start using the software there are a couple of hardware questions we need to answer.
The ability to sequence CV synths is a selling point in itself, but Silent Way offers so much more than just basic MIDI-to-CV conversion.
