Dark Time Sequencer

Doepfer Dark Time

Doepfer's Dark Time sequencer is a CV/gate sequencer with 2x8 step sequencers, USB/MIDI connections, and per-step rotary control over the Pitch CV parameter. There are also an internal clock complete with frequency PWM controls and alternate run modes (forward, backward, random, and custom—which allows for user programming). Each step features options like reset, rest, skip, stop, continue, and jump, which allow for seemingly endless creative variations. Even more, the Dark Time features comes equipped with an internal quantizer an can be clocked internally or externally.
