Will convert MIDI to CV, but your DAW's automation curves, which are much, much higher resolution than MIDI, can also be sent out as CV.Īs mentioned in the doco that comes with it, its ESSENTIAL to set the pitch bend range of every synth sound to +2 and -2 to get accurate tracking. Works with MOTU audio interfaces and other brand interfaces that have DC-coupled outputs. Send control voltage signals directly from your DAW to your voltage-controlled gear (Moogerfooger pedals, analog synths, etc.). MOTU Volta (no official page yet, use Google) Main software is in Max/MSP and is user-modifiable Includes a nice software bundle (Synful Orchestra - a demo version driven by the real strings, SMECK, VST Wall, 6-channel vocoder, Notation). Handy little box that takes input from any GK type pickup, produces 6 channels of string audio for processing. New NAMM items that are of more interest to me than the Sonuus: This is an exciting time for guitarists who are into creative electronics. When I play the '99, I don't use the MIDI guitar functionality often - the 99's internal synth models, which are driven by real guitar string audio instead of MIDI, is so much more responsive to dynamics, phrasing, etc. My experience is similar to yours - I've had a Roland GR-700 and a GI-20. Maybe it feels better than that.Īnd what for some is a toy can be a wonderful creative device with potential that its designers didn't realize themselves. My opinion, based on owning a couple roland GR systems, the first G-Vox system (god I pissed away too much money on that toy), and experiments with computer based processing (pure data and vst note-midi converters). Re: latency, there always seems to be something "unswinging" when I hear a lot of guitar synthesis which I attribute to latency times and the players reaction to it. I definitely heard some very quick glitching, and what seemed to be a bit of latency though without actually playing it, I can only based on my impression watching. I would have loved to have heard a reasonable synth lead patch or something along those lines in person. The first of the youtube videos highlight this issue for me. And of course that's very dependent on the patch being driven. There's something to be said for breath controllers and such to actually get something somewhat realistic. Unfortunately, what I heard was mostly horn and wind instrument patches, which I think take a lot more nuance to sound real than what simple midi note messages can provide. Walked by the booth and someone else was demoing it so I listened for a bit. I was looking forward to it at the Namm show.
