Expert Sleepers has released version 1.5.0 of Silent Way, their modular synth control plugins for Mac and Windows, adding Silent Way Step LFO.

Silent Way Step LFO is a combination step sequencer and LFO generator. It shares many of the features of the LFO plug-in, but rather than generating waveforms based on simple sine, triangle etc. waves it generates a waveform that the user draws in the GUI.

When the waveform is interpreted as a series of discrete values, rather than as a continuous wave-form, then the output is that of a traditional analogue step sequencer.

Other changes in Silent Way v1.5.0

• The Smooth control on all plug-ins is now calibrated in milliseconds, and has a much larger range.
• All Mac OS X versions now require Mac OS X 10.4.11 or higher.

Silent Way retails for $49.
