3.5. Firmware Update

Dark Times firmware can easily be updated via USB. In case a new firmware version is available, you can 

download it from our website (www.doepfer.de). A detailed description of the update process can be found 

in the additional technical description of Dark Time. You can download this documentation here:

 

www.doepfer.de -> Products -> Dark Time -> Additional technical documentation

3.6. Display OS-Version and reset Dark Time

3.6.1. Display OS-Version

When Dark Time is powered up, its LEDs show the version of the currently installed operation software. For 

about 2 or 3 seconds, exactly 

2 LEDs light up. They display the Numbers of the OS-version: upper LED 

row = first digit, lower LED row = second digit. 

 

3.6.2. Reset Dark Time

If Dark Time might behave strange and you have eliminated any possibility of operating errors, you should 

do a reset. All parameters listed in the following chart are set to their factory settings.  

Next to this, Dark Time displays the number of its operation software for about 2 or 3 seconds. It is dis-

played with the help of the Step LEDs.  

 

To reset Dark Time and show the OS version: 

 

• Press and hold the 

Reset

 key while Dark Time is switched off. 

 

• Power Dark Time up while you still hold down the 

Reset

 key. 

For about 2 or 3 seconds, exactly 

2 LEDs

 light up. They display the Numbers of the OS-version: upper LED 

row = first digit, lower LED row = second digit. 

 

After this, all LEDs light up for a short while, then just Step-LEDs 1 and 9 should remain lighted up.  

Please set all controls and switches into the basic position, shown on page 8. Dark Time ist now ready to 

use again.
