• CV/Gate:

Connect Dark Link's Gate socket to the gate input of your synthesizer.

Connect Dark Link's CV-1 socket to the pitch controlvoltage input of your synthesizer.

At least these two connections are obligatory to run a voltage controlled synthesizer. The additional

three control voltage provided by Dark Link make your voltage controlled synth "listen" to

pitchbender, velocity and modwheel (resp. a MIDI controller of your choice). Please note that not

all voltage controlled sythesizers are equipped with such inputs to handle these additional

voltages.

Note:

The gate output is not suitable for devices that require a gate voltage higher than +5V! (e.g. ARP

Oddyssey). The gate output is also not suitable for devices that require a so-called switched trigger or

S-trigger. In this case we recommend to order the additional S-Trig cable. Details are available in the FAQ-

section of our website: see "S-Trig conversion".

But Dark Link can be modified for +12V gate voltage or S-Trigger. The modification should not be carried

out by the customer because in this case the warranty is void (it is necessary to interrupt the +5V track and

install a wire to +12V for the +12V gate level). Details concerning the modification are also available on our

website in the FAQ section (in case that customers want to carry out the modification despite the warranty

loss).
