Not for tracking faster movement. Motion Capture systems run quite a
bit higher than 1Khz.
Besides, I'd rather stop spending time trying to make systems, and
faceplates, and jacks, and dealing with different voltages etc. I'd
rather cough up an extra $1-200 and have something that was designed
with modular synths in mind and has the range to deal with minutes
from an LFO or ms/Mhz from audio. Volta comes close, but it's only
one way and who knows how open it will be. The future may be bright,
but for now, Max and a A-192 to get CVs to midi. Not quite the same
as a CV recorder tho...Here comes the Modcan jeolousy... :D
