3.3.3. Learn Mode / MIDI Functions
In learn mode you decide, how Dark Energy processes incomming MIDI data. Next to this, you control the
settings of the internal arpeggiator and set the reference tone, which determines the lowest note in Dark
Energy‘s note range.
You may access each function via MIDI program changes. The table below lists all functions. The notes (1)
to (10) explain all functions in detail.

Notes:
(1) MIDI channel/reference for CV1=0V
In case of an incoming note event in the learn mode the note number and the channel of the event are ta-
ken over as the new reference tone and MIDI channel of Dark Energy. The reference note is the MIDI note
number that belongs to 0V CV1 output. In practice you simply enter the learn mode and press the key on
your MIDI keyboard that should belong to 0V CV1. MIDI note events below the reference note or more than
5 octaves above the reference note are ignored as the CV1 voltage range of Dark Energy is 0...+5V. The
factory default settings of reference note and MIDI channel are note number 36 (C) and channel 1.
