There’s some guides, i read one.. In the end, understanding how synths work is really easy.
Now i just want to learn how to build one (analog).

It would be nice to hear the Dr. Who theme on it, or a Gary Numan song also
Very nice!

I think you can turn its CV out from Oct/V to Hz/V by sending a program change message to it (program 20, i’m not sure …) or something similar, i’m not sure …

I love my dark Energie. In summer comes “dark time”, dark time is in the same design the sequenzer for the dark Energie.

Wow. Great demo. If only I had a friend that understood synths like this guy. I want one.

Great, thanks for this.

Wonder how this compares to the new Oberheim SEM?

Awesome review!

Great demo, Thanks

No kidding, but what’s your point? The Andromeda is a whole different class of instrument and costs five times as much.

two completely different animals..

really nice video,because of it I’ll buy one
March 9th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Who cares?It may be that there’s somewhat better,but this video only shows how the dark energy set works.Maybe you’ll remember that when you write something like that again.Bad Comment

true.
March 9th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
yes, but its at least three times the price possibly more.

my alesis andromeda eat this for breakfast..

This looks pretty nice
It reminds me very much of my old faithful Doepfer MS404 (No longer made unfortunately)
The Dark Energy appears to be a little more flexible though. If I didn’t already have a 404, i’d certainly be interested in one of these!

I clearly have a lot to learn
Thanks Nick
March 9th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
no not really, its not the size its the quality, as any young lady will tell you…
March 9th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Thank you!
I’m probably exposing myself as being nothing but a uneducated rompler-jockey, but isn’t that really bad? Don’t you compromise a lot of fidelity by only outputing through an 8th inch jack?
March 9th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
The CV outs can be patched into itself for additional control or external modular gear, the audio is out it also on 8th inch jack
March 9th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Yes if you just output the actual audio signal into the Korgs pitch to CV/gate correct
