I have a Voyager Old School but I don't have a Dark Energy to try it with.

By 'drive' I assume you mean controlling the Dark Energy using the OS's keyboard via the CV and Gate outputs.

Looking at the Dark Energy spec it should work absolutely fine. The Dark Energy accepts 1v/Oct control voltages and a gate voltage of +5v to +12v.

I would be surprised if it didn't work and it would be a very nice combo. You could feed the audio from the DE back into the OS for even more fun.

Yes you can if you have the VX531 and 1/4 mono jack to 1/8 mono jack leads :D

You don't need the VX-351. The CV and gate outputs are right there on the top of the Old School.
