Expert Sleepers Silent Way v1.7.3 - Manual (Page 25)

In Use
A video demonstrating the various plug-in parameters is available on the Expert Sleepers
YouTube channel
here . As in the video, using an oscilloscope can help in visualising the
effect of the controls.
The ‘Enable’ button enables quantisation on the channel in
question - if the channel is not enabled, CVs pass through un-
changed.
The ‘Mode’ drop-down menu selects between ‘Manual’ and
‘Calibrated’ modes, as described below.
Manual Mode
In manual mode the full incoming CV range from
-1 to +1 is divided into a number of equal steps.
The ‘Steps’ control sets the number of steps that
the -1 to +1 range is divided into. The ‘Fine’ con-
trol is added to the Steps control to allow finer ad-
justments.
The ‘Offset’ control sets where within a step the zero line sits - refer to the video as men-
tioned above for clarification.
The ‘Transpose’ control shifts the chosen step up or down by a number of steps.
Calibrated Mode
Be sure to load calibration data as described above before trying to use Calibrated mode.
In Calibrated mode, the output CV exactly adopts one of the values from the
calibration file. If the file was generated from a successful calibration in the
Voice Controller, then this results in the Quantizer plug-in generating CVs
that exactly correspond to semitone values. As noted above, this is very use-
ful in conjunction with the Step LFO plug-in. A graphical display appears in
the GUI showing the current output as a musical note and MIDI note number.
In this mode, the ‘Transpose’ control shifts the output CV up or down a number of steps
(or semitones, if using suitable calibration data).
