3.4. Link / stack several Dark Energy‘s
In parallel on the same MIDI channel:
YoumayrunseveralDarkEnergysinparallel.WhenalldevicesusethesameMIDIchannel,theywillall
soundsimultanouslywhenanoteisplayed.StackingDarkEnergy‘sthiswaymaycreateevenmorecom-
plexandrichersounds.Itisalsointerestingtoprogramonlyslightsonicdifferencesbetweentheunits.This
canbeusefulforveryexpressiveandrichpad-sounds.StackingDarkEnergy‘sthiswayisdonemosteasy
withthehelpofaMIDI-THRUbox,aMIDIinterfacewithmultipleoutsoranUSBhub.
Stack Mode:
StackMode(p.19,20)runsseveralDarkEnergy‘sinthemannerofonepolyphonicinstrument.Everyunit
playsonevoice.SinceDarkEnergy‘scasingistoopacked,ithasnoMIDI-THRUsocketbutaninternallink-
connector.Holesinthesidesoftheboxprovideaccesstotheseconnectorsassoonasthewoodensidepa-
nelshavebeendismantled.Youmaymountseveralunitsmechanicallytogethersidebyside.
Theuseoftheseinternallink-connectorsneedssomehardwaremodications,thataredescribedinan
additionaltechnicaldocumentationofDarkEnergy.Pleasedownloadthisdocumentationfromourwebsite

3.5. Modications
DarkEnergyprovidesseveralhardwaremodicationstocustomizetheunittoyourspecicneeds.Besides
theLink-connection(seeabove)thisisthecongurationoftheCVoutputsocketsandthecalibrationof
