The following software controlled parameters are affected by the reset and brought into their factory
settings (the scale function remains uneffected of the reset).
Please note: In case of any malfunction of your Dark Time, it is absolutely importand to do a reset before
you contact our support. Please do NOT send any units to Doepfer without having done a reset and che-
cking again for proper functionality – many thanks!
3.6.3. Auto Save function
You can choose by a software controlled function, wether Dark Time starts with its default settings shown in
the chart above or recalls your individual settings of the corresponding parameters.
To enable Auto Save you will need the sub menu functions, formerly described on pages 18, 19, 22 and 27.
How to open the sub menu:
• 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.
• Please use Step switch 9 to disable / enable the Auto Save function.
• To exit the sub menu, simply press ” Function ” once more.

3.7. +12V Modification
As you allready know, Dark Time puts out gate-, clock-, start/stop- and reset-voltages via it‘s analogue inter-
face. By default, these voltage have +5V level. Some vintage synthesizers may require higher voltages. In
order to match with these machines, the levels of these signals can be changed from their default setting
(+5V) to +12V by changing the position of an internal jumper on one of Dark Times boards.
First, get yourself a Philipps screwdriver and loose the four screws on the bottom lid. Remove the bottom
lid. Locate the jumper ”JP7” on the interface board (the smaller board). It is a 3-pole pin row with the jum-
per, that can be placed in two positiions. In the default setting, the jumper is placed in the middle and left-
most pins (please refer to the upper picture). The gate-, clock-, start/stop- and reset-voltages will have +5V.
+5V position of JP7:
+12V position of JP7:
Place the jumper into the middle and rightmost pins (please refer to the lower picture) and the gate-, clock-,
start/stop- and reset-voltages will have +12V.
