Hi, has anyone used the Motu Volta Midi-CV software? I'm trying to figure out if its a good option, or if I should buy a 2nd hand Novation Bass Station (with built in Midi-CV) for a little bit more cash, and get a synth thown in. Any opinions?

Also does anyone know of any competing midi-CV software out there? I would have thought that it wouldn't be too hard to design and that people would have produced various midi-CV software solutions already...? If there was Midi-CV software that also included Midi-DCB, so I could control my Korg MS20 and my Juno, that would be awsome!

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

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.
