MOTU Volta and moogerfoogers

Anyone excited about the possibilities here? Use your LPF as an easily tunable/controllable oscillator. Add tracking to your ring mods bag of tricks. Have precise/repeatable control over the phaser's sweep. Store analog delay settings in your DAW. Store sequences for any of your CV gear. And lots more.

Exciting, but I was doing this years ago already w/ my Kenton CV-Midi Converter by automating CC data.

One thing I skipped over: this is sample accurate if your DAW is. Lots of CV channels, too, depending on your interface.
Probably a bit pricey if you have to buy an interface, but the software is only $200.

I was wondering about Volta for my Moogerfoogers:?:

This is an excellent idea. I think the possiblities of this combo are incredible. I had forgotten about MOTU's Volta. I saw it a while back but then forgot about it. On of the advantages of MIDI is that you have many programs out there such Reaktor that can do a lot of things with MIDI. Turn that into a CV and you have an incredible combination. The flexiblity of CV and the programmable flexiblity of MIDI.
Volta supports FreqBox

The FreqBox is supported for calibration.

None of the other MF's are mentioned. That doesn't mean they can't be controlled...
Interestingly enough the Little Phatty isn't listed.

That's pretty cool. I can imagine someone building a rudimentary monosynth with a FreqBox, a filter and a VCA controlled by Volta. Expensive and silly, but pretty cool..

I've been puzzling over that. I think that if you turned off the auto-tune mode and shorted the keyboard gate you should be able to get it to calibrate.
