Linking A Dark Energy mk 1 and a Dark Energy mk2

2014-01-03 by blair_cowan@mac.com

Hi,

I have two Dark Energy's, a mk1 and a mk2, which I have physically connected together using the method described in the Technical Information documents that came with each. I also want to connect the two via midi, again using the method described in the Technical Information documentation:


To connect two Dark Energy's via Midi JP5 of the first unit has to be wired to JP6 of the second unit

I have four questions:

1. Does it matter that my two Dark Energy's are different models, or will this prevent the link from working?

2. If there is no problem with my two Dark Energy's being different models, does it matter which is the 'master' and which is the 'slave'?

3. I will be accessing both using the same midi channel. Do I still need to put the 'master' machine into Stack Mode?

4. Will the 'slave' machine automatically inherit the midi receive channel from the 'master machine', or will I need to program it using the Learn function?

The Technical Information documents do not go down to this level of detail, and perhaps they should.

Hoping you can help,

..and a Happy New Year!

Blair
