11. Processing external audiosignals
Youmayusetheinputsocket„externalaudio“toprocessaudiosignalsofothersoundsourceswithinDark
Energy.
Connecte.g.adrumcomputeroranoutputofyoursoundcardtoDarkEnergy‘sexternalaudioinput.Start
e.g.adrumloop.ThesignalrunsthroughDarkEnergy‘slterandis,dependingontheFreq.-knobsetting,
changedintimbre.SincetheVCAknobiscrankedup,theVCAisopenwithoutgettingacontrolvoltage
fromtheenveloperesp.youdonothavetoplayanoteonyourkeyboard.Uselinearfrequencymodulation
oftheltercutoff(LM)tochangetimbreandaddnoisetothedrumloop.
Ifyouplayanoteonyourkeyboard,theenvelopeopenstheVCFandVCAandtheloopgetsacontour.
LoudnesscanbecontrolledwiththeVCAknob.ProgramnotesinyourMIDIsequencer„inparallel“tothe
drumlooporplaypreciseenoughonyourkeyboardtoachieverhythmiceffectsinsyncwiththeloop.
Insteadoftheenvelope,youcanalsouseDarkEnergy‘sLFOsasmodulationsources.Thesquarewaves
provideinterestinggate-effects,howeverperfectsyncingtheeffecttothetempooftheexternalsourceis
notpossible.Sothisworkswellfornon-rhythmicalsounds.
OfcourseyoumayuseanexternalsoundsourcetogetherwithDarkEnergy‘sinternalVCO.Asecondex-
ternalVCO(e.g.DoepferA-117orA-118controlledbyCV1ofDarkEnergy‘sUSB/MIDI-CVinterface)ora
noisegenerator(e.g.DoepferA-183-1)canalsobeused.Theseadditionalmodulescaneasilymountedin
e.g.aDoepferA-100mini-case.
