Thanks for the positive feedback already!
I just had my friend on the phone. And we like to clear up some things.
Like I answered to Chris:
The actual samplerate of this device will be about 100/110 hz which, so I am
told, results in having 50 hz as the max input frequency for control
voltages.
Considering that it is being designed to be used with manual
controllers (faders, theremins, foot pedals) this is of course
plenty... (try moving your hands more than 50 times per second ;-) ).
Chris asked if the reverse was also possible. The answer to that is yes.
But not at this price and with this hardware. BUT>>> My friend works at the conservatory
of the Hague were he helps out building these babies:

So yes it is possible. Those devices work with the Open Sound Control protocol. Which is
deeply implemented in supercollider and is also compatible with Max/MSP. The price is I
believe around 150 euros and you need to build it yourself. It's a kit.
So the module my friend is designing now is a fast and simple alternative for people who
want simply put 6 CVs as input into supercollider& Max/MSP..
It looks now that the prototype will be ready within 2 weeks time..
I'll keep you guys posted!
