this owners´ manual
You will also need:
•
A suitable monophonic sound generation device with CV/gate connectors.
•
A suitable MIDI/USB keyboard, -controller (e.g. a Doepfer master keyboard).
•
At least two patch cables with 1/8" minijacks (to connect to Dark Link) and jacks, fitting to your
CV/gate controlled synthesizer.
•
(If nec.) a switch trigger cable to control some vintage Moog and Korg synthesizers (available at
Doepfer).
To run Dark Link via its MIDI-DIN socket, you will also need:
• A MIDI cable to connect a MIDI master keyboard / controller to Dark Link.
1.2.1. Setup:
Please use a suitable support. Used pizza cartons or beer crates should not be your first choice. Don't say
we didn't warn you.
1.2.2. Connections:
You do not necessarily need all its built-in sockets to get Dark Link going. For a simple setup, you will need
just the ones pictured below. Make use of the additional terminals and you will tremendously expand Dark
Link's potential. These connectors will be described later on in this manual.
• Power supply:
Connect the included power adaptor ("wall wart") to the 12V AC socket on the rear panel of
Dark Time.
Important: Use this power adaptor only or an equivalent one with exactly the same specs!
Powering Dark Link via USB is not possible since the internal analog circuitry of Dark Link
runs at +/-12V.
• MIDI:
Connect Dark Link's USB socket with your suitably equipped keyboard or computer. Any
configuration or driver installation work is not required on your computer.You will find more
information about USB operation in chapter 3 "Functions" on page 9.
Connect Dark Link's MIDI-in socket with the MIDI-out socket of your MIDI keyboard to run Dark
Link in a conventional MIDI setup without USB.
The default setting of Dark Link's MIDI channel is Channel 1. How to change this setting is
described on page 9 in chapter 3. "Functions".
Do NOT use MIDI-in socket and USB port simultanously! Missfunctions may occur.
