Doepfer Dark Energy Patches

You can put them in the cabinet through the backside of the frame.But if you skip the masking frame at the front (for hiding the RGB led strips) it is much easier to slide-in the cases at the front of the cabinet.With the shown solution you have to put the three modular cases in the frame first before hanging the total frame at the wall.

A color for every mood.Temporary DIY Wall Cabinet for eurorack A-100 modules together with the Dark Quaternity. (blue leds)RGB led strip green.RGB led strip red and white. 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.

The new Dark Energy II looks like the Dark Energy I at first sight. But the basic sound of Dark Energy II is clearly different from version I because of the new circuits for VCO, VCF and VCA. In the following description of the Dark Energy II the differences to Dark Energy I are marked blue:Dark Energy II is a monophonic stand-alone synthesizer with USB and Midi interface. The sound generation and all modulation sources are 100% analog, only the USB/Midi interface contains digital components. Dark Energy is built into a rugged black metal case with wooden side plates.

Doepfer Dark Energy Sequencer

High quality potentiometers with metal shafts are used and each potentiometer - except the filter mode control - is fixed to the case (no wobbly shafts and knobs). The second edition of the Dark Trilogy is black and the internal Dark Time has blue leds now, like the three Dark Energy's. Technical the black version is almost the same as the former one. The final version, with a complete new design, will see the light this coming Autumn. For now you can read some more technical information on the page below illustrated with some pictures of the internal electronics.

Custom Synth'01 May 2012: This page is still under construction!' Doepfer Dark Trilogy IIThis version is not for sale yet. It is a new prototype which has more functionality than the former one, but the next couple of months additions will be done in a dockable upper case. After evaluation and testing these additions they will not be mounted in a dockable case, but next to the sequencer on the left, so it will be more useful for live performances. This black one has probably the last three available Dark Energy I on board. The final version can be BTO and probably will be based on the Dark Energy II.

Which will be available this Autumn.
