Expert Sleepers Silent Way v2.4.3 - Manual (Page 41)

Specifies the ES-4 output to use for the gate signal (an on/off CV signal reflecting whether
a note is held or not). You can choose any of the ES-4’s 5 outputs, or one of the 40 possible
Gate Expander outputs. Setting this to ‘Off’ disables the gate signal.
Vel
Specifies the ES-4 output to use for the velocity signal (a CV reflecting the velocity of the
MIDI note being played). You can choose any of the ES-4’s 5 outputs. Setting this to ‘Off’
disables the velocity signal.
Priority
Sets the note priority mode. Since the ES-4 Controller behaves as a monophonic synth, a
scheme is required to determine which note sounds when multiple keys are held at the
same time. The options are:
• Newest - the most recently pressed key sounds.
• Lowest - the lowest note sounds.
• Highest - the highest note sounds.
Outputs
These controls let you directly set the out-
put levels of the ES-4’s 5 outputs. The val-
ues range from 0 to 255 (an 8 bit value).
These can be particularly useful when com-
bined with MIDI controller mapping in
your DAW to, say, map a synth mod wheel
to a CV output for filter cutoff. Via OSC or
MIDI, you have the possibility to control the ES-4 and/or the Gate Expanders down to the
individual bit (i.e. gate).
Gates
This section offers MIDI note on/off control over the 40 gate outputs from the ES-4 Gate
Expanders.
