We're happy to announce the release of Silent Way v1.1.0 (all
platforms & formats).
This is primarily an update to the Voice Controller plug-in, though
the DC plug-in also benefits from the OSC enhancements.
The full list of changes in this version is as follows:
• The Voice Controller AU now has an effect variant so it will work in
Digital Performer.
• Added new OSC commands (registerOSCPathForParameter() and
registerOSCPathForParameterNormalized()) added, primarily for
compatibility with TouchOSC. See
http://www.youtube.com/watch v=0J-SMM5ss9Y
• Output configuration changed from a set of drop-down menus to a full
matrix of knobs.
• Envelope scale parameters removed, since the same functionality is
now offered by the output matrix.
• Added new 'velocity' output.
• Added velocity-based scaling of envelopes.
• Added Hz/V calibration mode.
• Areas of the full MIDI note range note covered during calibration
are now filled with ‘wrapped around’ values from octaves that are
covered.
• Added note priority modes (last/low/high) and retrigger modes (on/off).
• Added ‘panic’ button.
• Fixed some incorrect envelope triggering behaviours.
• The ‘trigger’ output is now slightly longer than before (it was
previously a single audio sample).
NB the reworking of the output configuration unfortunately means that
v1.1.0 of the Voice Controller is not preset-compatible with earlier
versions. If you install this version and then load up a song that
already uses the Voice Controller, some of the settings (notably the
envelopes) will be wrong. This is something we usually go to great
lengths to avoid in Expert Sleepers plug-ins, but we felt it was
acceptable in this case as most workflows will involve using Silent
Way to control a synth which is then recorded as audio before moving
on - so to some extent storing presets is irrelevant, since you can't
store the state of the synth along with it.
** About Silent Way **
http://www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/silentway.html
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.
Available in Mac AU & VST and Windows VST formats. Priced at $49.
