Volta
An amazing idea from MOTU... a AU plug-in that turns the audio outputs from your digital interface into control voltages for modular synthesis. It's called Volta and can even re-calibrate and tune the most finicky of oscillators onto a perfect 8 octave range. You can create a wide variety of voltages with the precision and resolution of your DAW.
Keyboard scaling - with many types of portamento. Bend up & down range.
Midi controls - Apply any midi control with high resolution interpolation. (no zipper noise)
Envelopes - Hold, Attack, Decay, Sustain & Release. Multiple triggering modes.
Ramp Automation - Draw any shape you need.
LFO - Midi synced, Phase, with symmetry
Trigger Sequencers - Gate your Envelopes
Step Sequencers - Up to 32 steps, any length. Swing & direction modes.
Midi clock signals - route PPQ's to your gear
Cost: Under $200
