Functionality
SinceDarkEnergy‘snoterangecoversamaximumof5octaves,highernoteswillbeignoredandcause
„pauses“withinthepattern.Thiseffectcanbeusedinacreativewaytocreatemusicalphrases.
Example:Withthesetting„octave1“,theplayedchordA3-C4-F4-G4willprovideexactlythesamepattern.
Using„octave2“instead,providesthepatternA3,C4,F4,G4,A4,F5,G5andsoon.
(10) MIDI controller for CV4
IfDarkEnergyreceivesaMIDIcontrollermessage(exceptbankcontroller0&32)whilebeinginlearn
modethecontrollerno.ofthesemessagedenesthecontrollerno.forCV4.I.e.theCV4outputofDark
Energycorrespondsfromnowontothesecontrollerno.ThecontrollermessagemustbesentonDark
Energy‘sMIDIchannel(seesection„MIDIchannel/Learnmode“onpage17).Controller0and32(Bank
Change)willbeignoredandcannotbe„learned“.
WheneverDarkEnergyreceivesoneoftheMIDImessageslistedinthetableabove,theparameterin
questionischangedandDarkEnergyreturnestothenormalplaymode,i.e.theLEDstopsashing.Pay
attentionthatnotunintentionalMIDImessagesappearwhilebeeinginthelearnmode(e.g.fromasequen-
cer)asyouchangethesettingsofDarkEnergywithsuchMIDImessages.Allparameterchangesmade
whilebeeinginthelearnmodearestorednonvolatileinDarkEnergyparametermemory.WhenDark
Energy is turned on next time the parameter settings are taken from this memory.
3.3.4. Resetting Dark Energy
Toobtainthefactorysettingsforallparametersonehastoresetthedevice.Thismightbeusefulifyou
e.g.donotrememberthelastparametersettings(e.g.MIDIchannel,referencenote,controller#forCV4,
keyassignmode)oriftheyaremisadjusted.IfyourDarkEnergyseemstobehavestrangeandyoudonot
knowhowtosolvetheproblemresettingthedevicemayhelpasthevaluesofallparametersareknown
after the reset.
Toresetthedevicepressdownandholdthelearnbuttonwhilethepowersupplyispluggedin.TheLED
willturnonandonehastokeepdownthebuttonafewsecondsuntiltheLEDstartstoash.Pressingthe
buttonagainleadstothenormaloperationmodeandtheLEDwillturnoff.
AftertheresetDarkEnergy‘sparametersaresettothesedefaultvalues:
- MIDI channel 1
 -Referencenote36(i.e.thelowest„C“onastandard5-octavekeyboard)
- Retrigger: on
 -CV3:volume(controller#7)
 -CV4:modulation(controller#1)
 -Keyassignmode:highestnote
 -InternalArp-Tempo:approx.120BPM
- Gate length: 6
- Octave: 1
- Arppeggiator Sync: internal
These values are identical to the factory default settings.
