Expert Sleepers Silent Way ES-4 Controller v1.7.2 - Manual (Page 11)

Outputs
These controls let you directly set the output
levels of the ES-4’s 5 outputs. The values
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.
There is a pair of controls for each of the ES-4’s 5 channels i.e. the 5 possible Gate Expand-
ers. “Channel” sets the MIDI channel to respond to, or “Off”. “Base” sets the base note to
respond to, which will control the Gate Expander’s output 1. The remaining 7 outputs will
be controlled by the 7 MIDI notes above the base note e.g. if the base note is 48, outputs 1
to 8 on the Gate Expander will be controlled by notes 48 to 55.
Triggers/Accents
The ‘Triggers’ button exposes 2 new sections of controls.
Triggers
The ‘Triggers’ controls allow each of the 40 possible gate outputs
above to be used as a trigger instead i.e. a short pulse is emitted at
each MIDI note on, and note offs are ignored.
Each trigger length control sets the trigger time, in milliseconds,
or ‘Off’ to allow normal gate functionality.
