Hi folks, my limited understanding of Volta is that I need three things
1) A computer
2) An A/D-D/A interface
3) A modular
1) Will Windows XP work? In any case, what software do I need or is recommended beyond Volta itself?
2) Are there any recommended devices? Maybe three (quick and dirty, pretty good, and Cadillac). Any recommended DIY kits?
3) Not too worried about this because I am running a euro system and compatability has been established. |

Right. Funny in that this thing seems to elevate cv to the next generation of interface standards. Meanwhile the poor Oberheim just got MIDI.
(BTW your 2500 vid got me into modulars). |

Thx for watching it! Of course Volta really helps integrate modulars in a computer system and I am really looking forwards to using Volta with my Polyfusion. I am happy enough to leave the 2500 to being controlled by it's own sequencer tbh.
The Oberheim, even with Midi, looks great though! _________________ www.davidmorley.com

Volta is a plug-in, so you'll need a host for Volta (DP, Live, Logic) |
