Expert Sleepers release Silent Way (Mac/PC, AU/VST)


Silent Way is a kind of like MOTU VOLTA in that it will allow you to use DC coupled soundcards to control analogue synths directly. Unlike MOTU VOLTA Expert Sleeper is very reasonably priced and works on both MAC and PC. At €36.94 (a very odd number) it is very affordable. A demo that craps out after every 15 mins is available. Silent Way can do automatic pitch calibration of your oscillators frequency so you never have to tune again. I didn't see any LFO's but you can send automation from your soundcard directly to your modular so I suppose you could draw them in. There is a list of of compatible devices including soundcards and analogue oscillators that will track. Very nice,very cheap, definately worth the download if you have a compatible soundcard. If you are interested there are tutorial video's showing how to use Silent Way in Ableton, Cubase & Logic.
