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)

smoothing

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
0 will generate a CC value of 0, and a CV value of +1 will generate a CC value of 127; CV
values below 0 will be clamped and generate CC values of 0.

Sending MIDI note messages

Press

the

‘Note’ but-
ton to en-
able send-
ing of MIDI
note

mes-

sages. Both note on and note off messages can be generated. The three drop-down menus
select the behaviour of the plug-in in terms of when messages are sent.
