Studio Snapshot : Dark Energy

Brand: Doepfer

Model: Dark Energy
Link: http://www.doepfer.de/Dark_Energy_e.htm

BLURB: This is an “all-in-one-semi-modular” synth similar to a Korg MS-10. It’s internally patched and allows you to do some basic patching. IT IS AWESOME!

This is a single oscillator PURE ANALOGUE synth with 1 EG, 2 LFOs, 1 VCF and heaps of knobs and switches. It also has a very impressive MIDI (and USB!) spec, plus an audio input.

There’s also CV inputs on the front for VCO pitch, Pulse Width, VCF, VCA, Gate.

Studio Snapshot: STILL Building Analogue Controllers…!

OK, we’re now got most parts needed to build these things. The main controller face will be 9 units high and have seventy patch points on it, over a dozen knobs, 1 joystick, several sliders, switchers, multiples, randomiser, wave fuckers, a coffee grinder…and other STUFF.

The remote controller will have several sliders, one JoyStick, randomiser, random slide modulator thing…and MORE STUFF!

The objective is to build controllers that interface with synths in a way that is different to conventional keyboard controllers.

More updates coming…
