"To connect two Dark Energy's via Midi JP5 of the first unit has to be wired to JP6 of the second unit. Asuitable link cable is available soon. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the cables (GND◊GND andhot pin◊hot pin). If the polarity is wrong nothing can be damaged but the link function will not work. Thelink cable is fed trough the holes in the side plates of the case. If a wooden side plate is used between thetwo units the side plate has to be drilled in addition"

I was wondering, what this suitable cable is? It's just a cable that connects to pins? I'm guessing these are quite generic but do they have a name?

thanks

The cables just connect two pins are included with each Dark Energy.

But an external Midi thru box with 2 outputs does the same job.

hi Dieter! this reminds me of a tangential question i've had for a while: is it possible to connect a Dark Energy and Dark Time the same way, via internal jumpers/wired through the side holes? i've been considering bolting them together as a single unit, but if it still needs an external midi cable then i might not bother. -chris

That's possible but in the Dark Time there is no Midi out connector available inside the unit. You need to know which terminals you
have to use to install the connection to Dark Energy. But I can find this out and tell you the two terminals in question (GND and
Midi Out).

Please look at the "Dark_Energy_II_technical_information.pdf" on our website (available from the Dark Energy info page). Here you
find the required information on pages 5 and 6.

That's the usual color coding.

Thank you
