Silent Way Voice Controller

Introduction

Silent Way Voice Controller is a virtual instrument plug-in designed to directly control an
analogue synthesiser by generating the appropriate CV and gate signals via an appropri-
ate audio interface.

By listening to the synthesiser’s output signal, the plug-in is able to calibrate itself to gen-
erate the appropriate pitch CV for the incoming MIDI notes.

As well as the basic pitch and gate signals, the plug-in can generate three envelope CVs
which you can feed to VCAs, VCFs etc. in your synth.

Loading the plug-in

The Voice Controller is a 1-in 6-out plug-in. It exists in both effect and instrument configu-
rations, depending on your host and platform. How you load it into your host depends on
the host, but take into account that the plug-in needs to receive both audio and MIDI, and
ideally expose more than just a stereo pair as outputs. Suggestions for various popular
hosts are as follows:

Host

Plug-in format

Comments

Live

AU/VST

Effect and instrument variants work equally
well.
