"MOTU Volta Connects the Mac to CV Synths"
What is Volta?
Volta is software; a virtual instrument that turns your audio interface into a voltage control interface. Anything with a control voltage (CV) input can be automated from your DAW with Volta. This includes modulars, analog mono synths and even effects processors like the moogerfoogers.
Volta provides access to the automation system of your DAW through ramps. You can draw in whatever whacky timeline based automation you desire and use this high resolution data to control anything with a CV input. No stair-stepping or zipper noise. You can also route any MIDI controller to control voltages. Volta provides audio-rate rendered software LFOs, step and trigger sequencers.
Each instance of volta supports up to 24 slots of outputs, and you can have as many instances of Volta as your hardware allows. Four MOTU 24io interfaces, provide 96 channels of output.
Of course, you can also use Volta to send note information. MIDI information goes in, and control voltages go out. All control signals are running at audio rate, and MIDI note playback is pre-buffered. This provides sample accurate timing of your external hardware.

| It is interesting to see MOTU going for what I have to believe is a very small market of folks out there with old school hardware. I'm heading out to the show tomorrow AM, I'll have to stop by and check that out! |

Its not that small a market actually, a lot of stuff is CV controlled.
IT looks like a really good idea; nice to see them thinking outside the box. |
