Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to draw automation curves?
No. You only automate a simple on/off parameter. The plugin generates the fade curves automatically.
Is this a MIDI effect?
No. SilenceOne is an audio effect that processes your signal directly, but it can be triggered manually or via MIDI.
Is it the same as a gate?
No. A gate reacts to input level, while SilenceOne is controlled explicitly via on/off state for precise timing.
What does "Hold to mute" do?
It mutes the audio as long as the button is held. When released, the signal returns using your unmute settings.
Can I sync it to tempo?
Yes. You can choose musical time values for both mute and unmute.
What is "Direct"?
An instant on/off with no fade. Ideal for hard cuts and glitch-style effects.
When is this better than automation curves?
When you want speed and consistency. You get musical fades from a single boolean automation instead of drawing curves manually.
