3.2.2. Assign MIDI-Controller to Combi-Parameter #5
In case that you have just chosen Combi parameter #5 – the selectable MIDI-controller – you now may
assign a certain MIDI-controller to this function. Dark Time uses a learn function to do this:
•
Hold down the
Function
key for at least 5 sec.
The Function LED flashes and the other three key-LEDs light up. Dark Time is now in learn mode and
stores a received controller-nr. It can be used for Combi-function #5.
•
To leave the learn mode, simply press
Function
again.
”Driving” the sequencer with MIDI-notes:
Instead of MIDI controller numbers, also MIDI note numbers can be ”learned”. First, put Dark Time into Ex-
ternal-mode (Sync switch in position „External“). Then simply press a key on your connected MIDI keyboard
while Dark Time is in learn mode. After leaving learn mode, each time Dark Time receives the ”learned”
MIDI note, the sequencer moves on one step further.
This works much like receiving an analogue trigger signal at the Clk In socket when Dark Time is set to
External Mode. For more details, please see also page 20, section ”Synchronisation via MIDI Note Events”.
3.3. Synchronization and remote control of Dark Time
Dark Time offers a bunch of useful interfacing options to communicate with external gear. You are not only
restricted to playing MIDI and/or CV/gate-based synthesizers connected to Dark Time, you may also
synchronize it to other external instruments and even remote-control some of its functions. This will be
achieved through the MIDI and analog interfaces of Dark Time.
All functions covering this topic will be discussed in this chapter and you will finally find detailed explana-
tions of functions that have only been discussed briefly so far. Here we will quench your thirst for more.
3.3.1. MIDI-Interface
Dark Time sends and receives MIDI data via USB port or DIN sockets. Please
do not use both in parallel as unpredictable and undesirable effects may result.
Please refer to page 6 in the first chapter of this manual concerning the hook-
up of Dark Time’s MIDI connections.
Sending and receiving MIDI notes
Each active step of Dark Time generates and sends MIDI note messages. They are made up of a note-on
and a note-off command as well as a MIDI note number. They will define pitch (i. e. note name / number)
and note length. These data are channel-related, which means that they will be assigned to and transmitted
on one (or more) of the 16 existing MIDI channels.
Both step registers of Dark Time independently allow to transmit MIDI data on different MIDI channels. This
way you can control two sound generators simultaneously.
Dark Time also receives MIDI data: Connect a MIDI keyboard or a controller to Dark Time’s MIDI-In socket
(or USB port) and transpose the sequence on the fly while it is chugging away.
