Here's a great blog with lots of info on Volta:

http://stretta.blogspot.com/

The main thing is that Volta will control CV systems that use different voltage schemes and there is alot of automation to make that smooth and easy. So your MS-20 is good to go. (No DCB tho)

The other main thing is that Volta pretty much requires a MOTU audio interface in order to generate the CV outs.

So more options than a Bass Station.
