I just hooked a copy of the Nord G2 demo program up to my MOTU 828 Mk1
and fed it's outs to my Doepfer modular. I made a simple patch with a
LFO, Sequencer, amp module, and output module. The Demo is limited to
two output channels so I fed the Sequencer CV out one channel (through
some amp modules to boost the gain) and the LFO square wave I was
using as a clock out the other channel. I later put an AND gate on it
with the sequencers step gates out so I could turn noted on and off. I
used that to trigger some Envelope generators on the modular. It
worked! The scaling was a bit weird but I'm sure I can deal with that
somehow with more time. I don't plan on doing note data anyway -
MIDI>CV converters do that well enough. In any case I used it to prove
my interface will work with Volta.
The Nord G2 demo is FREE and you can get it here:

It is not the Volta but it still opens up a lot of experimenting. And
of course being free is just to nice to pass up.
