This trick will work with any DC coupled interface – but of course the majority of them do seem to be made by MOTU! I just sold my Resonator! :P

The Resonator sounds great and I like that Spacebeam too. Too bad Frostwave is on hiatus. The Resonator sounds great and I like that Spacebeam too.

That Frostwave Resonator sounds amazing – what a great filter :)

This is what I get for making a post at 8AM. I just re-watched the video and this IS even more interesting... I'm going to leave the post title as-is and let it just be part of the discussion.

It uses the MOTU interfaces, which is where it's similar to Volta. It's actually interesting, because there seems to be a concensus forming that you can't do audio-cv out *without* volta, which, thankfully, you can.
