Subject: [Doepfer_a100] Dark Energy monosynth and Dark Time sequencer are On Topic!


















 



  


    
      
      
      hi list,



as of now, any discussion about the DARK ENERGY patchable monosynth and the DARK TIME sequencer is considered On Topic! (as they are little brothers of the A100 after all...)



thanks,

best regards,   :-)

I agree with Richard here.

For a "classical" analogue sequencer, this is as good as it gets.



If you want more steps, it'll be easy to patch up two consecutive Dark Time's to do so...



I'd like to know tough, what happens with the gates when steps are 'jumped' ? Are the gates legato'ed ?



An additional feature I'd like to see -- which would bring it even closer to the fabled ARP sequencer, is separate gate outputs for the gate busses (ie. gate output for each switch setting, so you get gates for "on", "jump" & "skip").



Nice machine, for a reasonable price.

      Does the Dark time have standard jacks - or mini jacks?
