It will convert it, and it'll have a slew which will smooth it to  
some degree.... but it's just can't get smooth enough as far as I'm  
concerned and midi timing and reliability still just plains sucks  
regardless.

You can't generate a decent fast envelope via midi ramps for example,  
this Volta system would allow me to be triggering countless highly  
accurate fast envelopes. That gives me the horn ;) I do a lot of  
automation....
