In this video, Musik Schmidt takes a look at the Doepfer Dark Energy synthesizer.

The Doepfer Dark Energy is a monophonic stand-alone synthesizer with USB and Midi interface. The Doepfer Dark Energy sound generation and all modulation sources are 100% analog, only the USB/Midi interface contains digital components. Dopefer Dark Energy is built into a rugged black metal case with wooden side plates. High quality potentiometers with metal shafts are used at the Doepfer Dark Energy and each potentiometer is fixed to the case (no wobbly shafts and knobs).
