Expert Sleepers Silent Way ES-4 Controller v1.7.2 - Manual (Page 10)

The ES-4 Controller Controls
MIDI/CV 1/2
These two groups of
controls provide func-
tionality similar to that
of a traditional standa-
lone
MIDI/CV con-
verter, for each of the ES-
4’s pitch CV outputs
(outputs 1 & 2).
Channel
Specifies the MIDI channel that the converter responds to, or ‘Off’ to disable the converter
completely.
Min & Max
Specify the range of MIDI notes that the converter responds to. This lets you set up a key-
board split, using the two converters on the same MIDI channel.
Gate
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.
