Overview

Analog Interface
– St/St Out: Provides +5V/+12V* voltage while sequence is running
– St/St In: Starts resp. keeps sequence running while +5V/+12V* voltage is received
– Reset Out: Provides +5V/+12V* trigger when sequence is resetted
– Reset In: Resets sequence when +5V/+12V* trigger is received
– Clk Out: Provides internal clock-signal
– Clk In: Receives external analogue clock-signal
– Gate 1 Out: Provides gate-signals of steps 1 – 8 (+5V/+12V*)
– Gate 2 Out: Provides gate-signals of steps 9 – 16 (+5V/+12V*)
– CV 1 Out: Provides control-voltage of steps 1 – 8 (0V to +1V / +2V / +5V)
– CV 2 Out: Provides control-voltage of steps 9 – 16 (0V to +1V / +2V / +5V)
– CV 1 In: Receives external control-voltage to control steps 1 – 8 (0V to +5V)
– CV 2 In: Receives external control-voltage to control steps 9 – 16 (0V to +5V)
(* By setting an internal jumper, the voltages for start/stop, reset and gate can be set from +5V
(default value) to +12V. Please refer to page 21, section 3.4.)
MIDI Interface
– MIDI-In
– MIDI-Out
– USB (for MIDI via USB)
Power Supply
(12V AC, 500 mA)
The following picture shows some kind of ”basic setting”. When the panel functions are set to this, Dark
Time will play two parallel 8-note sequences with all steps at equal pitch and length. Control voltages of
1V/octave scaling (the common standard) are putted out, the step-knobs are quantised which means their
range is divided into descrete half-tone steps. Dark Times tempo is internally controlled resp. controlled by
the clock-knob. Step length is equal for all steps.
You may use this setting as a starting point to program your sequences.
