3.4. +12V Modication
As you allready know, Dark Time puts out gate-, clock-, start/stop- and reset-voltages via it‘s analogue inter-
face. By default, these voltage have +5V level. Some vintage synthesizers may require higher voltages. In
order to match with these machines, the levels of these signals can be changed from their default setting
(+5V) to +12V by changing the position of an internal jumper on one of Dark Times boards.
First, get yourself a Philipps screwdriver and loose the four screws on the bottom lid. Remove the bottom
lid. Locate the jumper ”JP7” on the interface board (the smaller board). It is a 3-pole pin row with the jum-
per, that can be placed in two positiions. In the default setting, the jumper is placed in the middle and left-
most pins (please refer to the upper picture). The gate-, clock-, start/stop- and reset-voltages will have +5V.
