Silent Way AC Encoder

Introduction

Silent Way AC Encoder removes the need for a DC coupled audio interface (see

above

)

and lets you use Silent Way with almost any audio interface.

For this to work, you must either:

make some special cables, or

use a hardware module specifically designed to work with Silent Way AC Encoder,
for example, the

Expert Sleepers ES-1

module.

The cables are a very simple job, well within the scope of anyone with basic soldering
skills.

Because the details are currently quite fluid, as we gather more and more information
about what works best, we do not describe them here. For up-to-date information, please
refer to the page on our website:

Note that without additional circuitry or processing the CVs recovered from the AC En-
coder system will be positive voltages only. In practice this is often not a problem, and if it
is there are a number of modules on the market that will provide a DC offset (e.g. Doepfer
A-183-2 or A-138).
