You know with the buzz around the Volta, it won't be long before someone else jumps in and does it. After all there sure has been a lot of people making audio interfaces forever and with a few tweaks you have this idea in a box. Make it USB2 or FireWire and have it do the ramping

Yes, James, you're right. My mistake - no DC in to Volta; I misinterpreted a few things. Perhaps blinded by my enthusiasm, mea culpa. Volta's designer (Matthew Davidson, of Stretta fame) says that he'd love to design a dedicated interface for this, but he has "to demonstrate a si

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
