Word on the street is that MOTU's Volta has officially shipped. I'm seeing the pre-order on Nova Musik listed at $199.

"Volta is a virtual instrument plug-in that turns your audio interface into a voltage control interface. Any hardware device with a control voltage (CV) input can be placed under precise digital control from your favorite audio workstation software. You can play and automate modulars, analog synths - even effects processors. Whether you’re a seasoned modular synthesizer devotee or simply a computer-based studio owner dreaming of adding that rich, coveted sound only true analog synths can deliver, Volta finally enables you to easily incorporate CV-equipped analog gear into your computer-based studio with all the control, precision and convenience of a virtual instrument." click here for previous posts including video

she suggested using a pulse wave from the LFO.. it worked perfectly."

"Obsessed cat. She loves all the blinking leds, doesn't care much for the VCO's tho...
She just sits up close and in front of the rack, staring at it... figuring it out.. until she can patch a monster patch that will blow me away!"
