  • Capable of very pleasant beat rates between the VCOs over the entire keyboard range
  • Allows rich and powerful animated bass sound, and smooth "phasing" slow-beating sound in higher octaves

Is it at all possible to alter the pitch output of Silent Way so that the pitch becomes more and more offtune as you go lower in pitch and more on tune as you go higher in pitch? To create this effect with 3 oscillators I of course would have to use 3 instances of silent way, two with its own detuning settings, and one instance with no detuning.

I believe this would be really easy to implement if Silent Way doesn't have this feature already. For linear detuning, I believe all you have to do is add some extra 1v/oct pitch CV to pitch output. For exponential detuning, you'd add extra hz/oct to the pitch output.

Here's a graph depicting how it would work:

It seems that you could probably do this by using one instance of the Voice Controller plug-in, splitting the pitch output into three, and then using the Silent Way DC plug-in on two copies to scale and shift the voltage.

Thanks, I'l try it!

We did talk about this before... but could you possibly take a look at the possibility of having a random note on to cent tuning on Silent way.

I do this in Kontakt 3 a lotwhere I dial in how much of a variance I want between in tune and out of tune.

So each time I hit a key with the knob set to 0.5% the tuning will be a random interval between -5% and +5%

Ironic I know but I do miss a bit of the non 100% tuning of my synths lol.

Yes, I remember, it's on the wish-list.

Not quite the same thing I know but you could add some random pitch variation with Silent Way LFO.
