A Dual Layer Architecture For Almost Limitless Sound Design Possibilities!
“Volt II” has a special Volt Meter dial that is the centre of the action. Most of the controls on the front panel can be controlled by the movement of the Volt Meter.
Simply select from the front panel which controls are to be controlled by Volt Meter and then select the depth/range of the control – Moving the voltmeter will then control those active dials.
You can also assign the Volt Meter to your Modwheel or any other external controller dial and control many dials with the Volt Meter.
The two sliders under each dial are to set the min and max movement that the volt meter will have on the dial ie they set the range that the dial will move, if it did not have those range dials then all the dials would move the same range from 0 to full which would not be that exciting.
Also, it is worth noting that the left slider can also go higher than the right slider and this will create an inverse movement when the volt dial is used. ie if the left slider is taller than the right slider then when the volt meter is used the dial will move in the opposite direction – good for using on Cutoff and Resonance with an inverse set of sliders.
Most of the included snapshots have already been setup to respond to the Volt Meter – Give it a whirl and experiment!
It is easy to create stunning patches with Volt, and by clicking the Volt Symbol in the centre of the interface you can Randomise patches and let the chaos of the universe play a hand in the sounds you make!

What People Think About 53% off “Volt 2” by Castle Instruments

"The Volt Meter makes this instrument stand out above a lot of other offerings. It creates the opportunity to have great expressive performance dynamics while playing live, as I have discovered. For me, the awesome GUI, Sound Sources, and Volt Modulation are the key reasons this instrument stands out above an overwhelming crowd of virtual synths available. I'm seriously hoping Castle Instruments continues this tradition, as I am looking forward to more! The last time I was this excited over a Synthetic based Kontakt Instrument was Luftrum's Lunaris, and if you knew me, that would be saying a lot ;)"

"There are a lot of variants of this type of Kontakt synth but this one is a bargain standout for having a feature set that just works quickly and well to produce a wide variety of new sounds from a supply of good voices, snapshots and multis, either by design, randomization, or a combination of both. Be prepared to save a lot of snapshots."

"JUST AS GOOD AS THE FIRST - Same warm and genuine sound but with a better selection of pre-made patches this time round."
