Hi!
I am new to CV/Cate, but I bought myself a Dark Energy (synth) and Dark Time (seq) a while ago. Very nice little machines. Works with both midi and cv/gate.
Now I tried to connect the Dark Time to my LP with CV/Gate and can't get that to work.
According to the specifications both of them works with 5V for gate. I connect the DT's "Gate 1 Out" to the LP's "KB GATE" and DT's "CV 1 Out" to LP's "PITCH CV". Nothing happens when I start the DT.
If I press a key on the LP, I can hear the DT playing the LP, but it seems that the gate is not working just from the "KB GATE" input.
If I plug a dummy cable in the "KB GATE" I can use audio input to my LP to modulate external audio, so in that sense the "KB GATE" input works.
I have checked the voltage from the DT output in the LP end of the cable and it is 5.36V.
Am I missing something here?
Or is there something wrong with my LP?

Re: Dark Time -> LP (gate problem?)
The phatty misses very short gates. Might be the problem if you were sending it pulse triggers.
Also, depending on the phatty OS, they added a menu option that changes the behavior of the gate in. There are 3 choices: GATE, GATE/SUS, SUST.PED

Re: Dark Time -> LP (gate problem?)
I have OS 3.1T 672, and can't find any parameter like that. But that shouldn't be necessary to use CV/Gate, should it? I mean, the functionality is implemented in the synth with the original OS 1.3 and should work even then.
It doesn't work with 100% gate neither ...

Re: Dark Time -> LP (gate problem?)
Assar, make sure that some of the Darktime steps are turned to the on position(three position switch). If a step is selected to be off or skipped, it will not send a gate signal. Also, Have you messed with the pulsewidth control?

Yes, thanks.Benjamin AM wrote:Assar, make sure that some of the Darktime steps are turned to the on position(three position switch). If a step is selected to be off or skipped, it will not send a gate signal. Also, Have you messed with the pulsewidth control?
All switches are in the correct position and pulsewidth has been messed with.
