Volta may be able to record DC voltages but as far as I know and read  
- there are no standard sound cards or interfaces (including the MOTU  
ones) that will allow the input of DC. You can input audio at the same  
time you output DC from the plugin though. This is referred to allot  
in the reviews talking about syncing etc to external devices. There  
has been talk of modifying devices to maybe get them to input DC by  
removing the AC coupling found on them but I have seen no hands on  
reviews that have said the recording of DC is possible. All the  
reviews and write ups I have seen only talk of controlling your  
modular and none have mentioned the possibility of recording (even the  
Max hack that has been shown that pre-dated the Volta) If you have  
seen any this let us know.
