{"product_id":"doepfer-dark-link-usb-midi-to-cv-interface","title":"Doepfer Dark Link USB\/MIDI to CV Interface","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Dark Link is designed for musicians who want to control monophonic vintage synthesizers or modular systems directly from a computer via USB or from a hardware sequencer via MIDI. It functions as a precise translator, converting MIDI note, pitch bend, velocity, and control change messages into the analog voltages required by classic gear. Its compact footprint makes it an ideal \"black box\" for a studio desk, providing a stable link that eliminates the need for bulky or complex modular conversion setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eBeyond simple note triggering, the Dark Link offers nuanced performance control. CV1 handles the 1V\/Octave pitch tracking, while CV2, CV3, and CV4 provide modulation sources derived from pitch bend, velocity, and assignable MIDI CC messages. A dedicated manual Glide control allows you to add portamento to your analog synth’s pitch even if the original instrument lacks that feature. For players dealing with non-standard vintage gear, the interface is highly adaptable; the \"Learn\" button facilitates quick MIDI channel assignment, and internal jumpers allow for flexible voltage ranges and gate types.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doepfer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57400788943180,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/3055\/0604\/files\/doepfer_musikelektronik_gmbh_doepfer_dark_link_usb_interface_120470_3_800x560_700139ec-36b1-41db-80d4-0f349d69b7e0.webp?v=1777376929","url":"https:\/\/www.schneiderskeller.co.uk\/products\/doepfer-dark-link-usb-midi-to-cv-interface","provider":"SchneidersKeller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
