3.3.2. Additional MIDI-Functions
In another sub menu, you will find some more MIDI-functions. They are a bit special but might be useful
from time to time. Next to these MIDI functions, you‘ll access some more (non MIDI related) functions via
this sub menu. These functions are covered at other places.
How to open the sub menu:
Note:
Operation Steps:

• Hold down the
Function
key for at least 5 sec. The Function LED flashes and the other three
key-LEDs light up.
• Press the
Start/Stop
key (it remains lighted up). You just entered the sub menu.
In this state of function, the
Step switches ”On/Off/Skip” of the steps 1 - 11
work as on/off switches for
several sub-functions. Only the ”On/Off” positions are relevant (not ”Skip”).
The step LEDs show you the current status of the corresponding function. Since the setting of the switches
may not necessarily match the current function-status after entering the sub menu, it is useful to operate
the switches several times until you get a clear feedback over the current function status.
• To exit the sub menu, simply press ”
Function
” once more. Dark Time reverts to it‘s usual way of
opration.
The following
MIDI
functions are available in the sub menu:
MIDI-Controllerbox (
Step switch 1):
Dark Time can be (miss)used as a controllerbox to control external MIDI gear resp. software. The following
control elements send MIDI data as soon as this function is enabled:
• Step knobs send MIDI controller data.
• Step switches send MIDI note data.
Please note: This controller assignement is fixed and cannot be edited. Dark Time sends these data only
on MIDI channel 16, regradless of the MIDI-channel settings for both step registers. This data is only sent
out via the MIDI-DIN socket – not the USB port.
Dark Time also receives MIDI-controller data (
on MIDI channel 16 via the MIDI-DIN socket
). You may
”remote control“ Dark Time this way. In the factory state, this function is disabled.
Merge internal and external MIDI data (
Step switch 5):
With this function enabled, incomming MIDI data is merged with internally generated MIDI data and send
out on Dark Times MIDI out.
Please note: Under some circumstances, this function might cause MIDI-loops as well as timing problems
and malfunctions on Dark Time and external MIDI-gear. Please keep this in mind when using this function.
In the factory state, this function is disabled.
Send MIDI realtime-data via MIDI-out DIN socket (
Step switch 6):
Send MIDI realtime-data via USB port (
Step switch 7):
Usually, Dark Time sends out MIDI realtime data. This is MIDI-clock, start/stop/continue-commands as well
as active-sensing data. Under specific circumstances, these data might cause problems when received by
certain external gear. So it might be helpful from time to time, to disable this data output.
Please use Step switches 6 and 7 to disable (enable) the output of MIDI realtime data independently for the
MIDI DIN-socket and the USB port.
Please bear in mind: The transmission of MIDI realtime data (MIDI-clock, start/stop/continue-commands)
has to be enabled if external gear should be MIDI-synced. In the factory state, this function is enabled.
MIDI-Transpose/Loop function (
Step switch 8):
This function determines Dark Times behavior when receiving MIDI-notes. When step switch 8 is set to
”on”, a received MIDI note transposes the running sequencer (please refer to page 17).
Set to ”off”, the first received MIDI note starts the sequencer. Subsequent notes transpose it. The factory
setting is ”on”.
