On OS X, you can use the system’s built-in ‘IAC Driver’. To set this up, open the ‘Audio
MIDI Setup’ utility, show its MIDI Window, and double click on the IAC Driver item that
you see there.
On Windows, you will have to use 3rd party software, for example Hubert Winkler's
Hubi's Loopback Device or Jamie O'Connell's MIDI Yoke (both freeware).
Using the connection to Silent Way Learner
Enabling the ‘Learner’ button causes the plug-in to send its output directly
to
. This provides a very convenient means to e.g. control
any parameter of any Silent Way plug-in with an incoming CV.
Preparing input CVs
The CVs as output by, for example, Silent Way LFO are very clean and will drive Silent
Way CV To MIDI without any unpleasant artefacts. If, on the other hand, you are using
CVs from Silent Way CV Input, you may find that the CVs are rather noisy and can pro-
duce unexpected results. The easiest solution is to apply a small amount of (negative)
in the CV Input plug-in.
Other Controls
Enable/Channel
The ‘Enable’ button simply enables or disables MIDI output from
the left or right channel of the plug-in.
The ‘Channel’ knob selects which MIDI channel messages are sent
on (1-16).
Sending MIDI CC messages
Press the ‘CC’ button to enable sending of
MIDI CC messages. A new message will be
sent whenever the incoming CV changes
enough to select a different CC value.
The ‘CC#’ control selects the CC number that
will be sent (0-127). Some CC numbers corre-
spond to specific controllers by convention e.g. CC #1 is usually sent by a keyboard’s
modulation wheel, but you are free to use whatever CC numbers you like.
The ‘CC Min’ and ‘CC Max’ controls set the range of incoming CVs that correspond to the
full range of MIDI CC values (0-127). By default, the min is set to -1 and the max to +1,
meaning that a CV value of -1 will generate a CC value of 0, and a CV value of +1 will
generate a CC value of 127. If for example you change the CC Min to 0, then a CV value of
