Manual pulsewidth control for rectangle waveform Manual tune control (with an internal jumper the range can be set to ~ ☑ half an octave or ~ ☒.5 octaves)įm (frequency modulation) control with modulation source switch (lfo1 / off / adsr) the distance between the controls is a bit wider compared to a-100 modules and knobs with vintage look are used. high quality potentiometers with metal shafts are used and each potentiometer - except the filter mode control - is fixed to theĬase (no wobbly shafts and knobs). the sound generation and all modulation sources are 100% analog, only the usb/midi interface contains digital components.ĭark energy is built into a rugged black metal case with wooden side plates.

in the following description of the dark energy ii theĭifferences to dark energy i are marked blue:ĭark energy ii is a monophonic stand-alone synthesizer with usb and midi interface. but the basic sound of dark energy ii is clearly different from version i because of the new circuits for vco, vcf and vca. the new dark energy ii looks like the darkĮnergy i at first sight. As the dark energy (i) had to be discontinued because an important electronic part (cem3394) is no longer available we decided to do a redesign of the dark energy.
