Doepfer Dark Energy III

Doepfer’s Dark Energy III is a monophonic synthesizer equipped with USB and MIDI capability. Its sound generators and modulators feature entirely analog signal paths, while the USB/MIDI portion makes use of digital components. It features the same malevolent attitude as its previous incarnations and is built into a sleek black metal case complete with wooden side panels.
