Doepfer Dark Link
Doepfer’s Dark Link interface is the perfect tool for using USB or MIDI to control monophonic synthesizers. The unit is essentially the USB/MIDI interface of Doepfer’s Dark Energy Synthesizer. It features four CV outputs (labeled CV 1-4) and a single gate output.
Dark Link Features
- MIDI channel, reference note for CV 1 (this is the MIDI note corresponding to 0V of CV 1 and thus the lowest possible note of the analog synthesizer connected to Dark Link) and the controller number for CV 4 are adjusted via learn function. For this the learn button must be pressed and the required MIDI messages sent from the MIDI controlling device (MIDI synthesizer, keyboard, sequencer, etc)
- The other parameters (retrigger, trigger polarity, assign mode, etc) are also adjusted in learn mode via program-change messages
- Dark Link is nothing but the interface of Dark Energy
