Silent Way AC Encoder removes the need for a DC coupled audio interface and lets you use Silent Way, a suite of software plugins designed to be used with modular synthesizers, with almost any audio interface.

To use Silent Way with the AC Encoder, you need to make some special cables or a breakout box. The cables are a very simple job, well within the scope of anyone with basic soldering skills.

Note: Without additional circuitry or processing the CVs recovered from the AC Encoder system will be positive voltages only. In practice this is often not a problem, and if it is there are a number of modules on the market that will provide a DC offset (e.g. Doepfer A-183-2 or A-138).
