Volta er et virituelt instrument plug-in som gjør lydkortet ditt om til et volt kontrollert interface. Et hvilket som helst hardware enhet med Control Voltage (CV) inngang kan plasseres under presis digital kontrol fra ditt favoritt musikk/lyd produksjons programvare. Du kan spille og automatisere moduler, analog synther og effekter som feks. Moogefooger.

 

Obs. Meget viktig:

Det er viktig å bruke riktige kabler i forbindelse med Volta og lydkortet. Man må bruke ¼” TRS til TS, med ringen ”flytende” eller ikke tilkoblet. TS til TS vil kortslutte ringen, og er ikke å anbefale, da dette kan brenne utgangene på lydkortet.

 

 

 

Volta is a virtual instrument plug-in that turns your audio interface into a voltage control interface. Any hardware device with a control voltage (CV) input can be placed under precise digital control from your favorite audio workstation software. You can play and automate modulars, analog synths - even effects processors. Imagine being able to play and automate your CV-equipped analog gear from Digital Performer, Logic Pro, or Live with the same level of control, precision and convenience as a virtual instrument.

 

Here are just a few examples of what you can do with Volta:
Perform MIDI sequencing with external modular synths with sample-accurate precision (if your host sequencer supports sample-accurate MIDI).
Automatically calibrate and tune oscillators with the click of a button.
Use ramp automation in your host audio software to control filters, envelope generators, effects processors and other voltage-controlled external gear.
Apply LFOs, step sequencers and pattern sequencers to CV inputs and tempo-sync them to your host software timeline.

 

Whether you’re a seasoned modular synthesizer devotee or simply a computer-based studio owner dreaming of adding that rich, coveted sound only true analog synths can deliver, Volta finally enables you to easily incorporate CV-equipped analog gear into your computer-based studio with all the control, precision and convenience of a virtual instrument. 
 
Interface
Volta is easy to use but offers plenty of advanced programming features. The upper portion of the Volta window displays 24 output "slots", which represent the audio outputs on a connected audio interface. Simply drag any control source onto the desired output slot. Click the source to view its settings at the bottom of the window.

 

Virtual instrument operation
Volta operates just like a standard virtual instrument plug-in within your host software. You can return the audio output of your external hardware instrument directly back into Volta, which then outputs the audio signal as standard virtual instrument output into your host software's mixing environment, as illustrated in the signal path diagram. This delivers all the benefits of virtual instruments inside your DAW, allowing you to freeze tracks, apply host based audio effects and transform MIDI data with functions like arpeggiators. When used with DAWs such as Digital Performer that support pre-buffered sample-accurate MIDI playback, Volta can achieve sample accurate timing of external hardware, an industry first.
