I love all your DE3 demos! I will never sell mine. So many people complain about the price and the single oscillator, but in my opinion you'll never get sounds this good from any two-VCO Behringer. The tone depth and richness speaks for itself. This is very much a serious, grown-up synth in a cute little package. Classic Doepfer.

Great synth. It keeps being one of the best semimodular options amidst the current plethora of inexpensive analog synths.

[@synthanatomy]

absolutely :)

[@klinikat5313]

your best vid tom, thank you BRo ! geile sounds geschraubt du hast ! beauty of fm, lovely !!!

[@synthanatomy]

danke :)

[@stephenjames4937]

I found the drone at 9:00 very soothing. Thank you for this.

[@synthanatomy]

thanks for watching :)

[@kobalt77]

Awesome video, thank you !

[@synthanatomy]

thanks for watching and your support :) my pleasure :)

[@olecoltrane1138]

i regret selling mine, i'm gonna buy it back when i can

[@TheAtomicTom]

Dark Energy I was my first synth. Even though the architecture is limited you can still get a lot out of it.

[@synthanatomy]

oh yeah, a little crazy synth that is finally available again as a Eurorack module :)

[@temporoboto]

Awesome demo. New sub.

[@synthanatomy]

thanks for your input :) thanks

[@benbauer1065]

I have been looking for some time now. Iv been distracted by the dsi evolver, the novation bass station 2 , the neutron , the dreadbox typhoon.... etc. So many great mono synths but I keep coming back to this. It just looks so much funner, inspiring, hands on and sounds good. Just not sure about the single oscillator

[@jonathans8580]

One of the better i have heard on the market

[@maglim97]

Last sound is mind-boggling :D

[@synthanatomy]

thanks ruben, a bit of droning is always nice :)

[@olecoltrane1138]

i still make music on my DAW with the sequences i recorded a couple years ago when i had it

[@TheHexeract]

how does it compare to the future retro xs?

[@TheWhiteCrow19]

I'm looking for a synth in this range of price and I'm interested by the Erebus for its possiblities, but there is something I like in the sound and the FM on this one, it seems that it can be more agressive... And I like also the interface and compactness of this one. What could you recommend me ?

[@synthanatomy]

Sorry for the late answer, Dark Energy is still one of my favorite synths because it is so versatile and easy-to-use. You probably found one but I really enjoy the Korg Monologue, the new Dreadbox Nyx II, or the Vermona Mono Lancet which is an absolute synth gem. Totally forgotten but an amazing mono synth :)

[@dragomiraluneurau2072]

what a cool midi cable! what is it?

[@SoundsAndGear]

It can definitely get a bit crazy it seems!

[@synthanatomy]

hehe :)

[@Itscjoy]

Wow

[@synthanatomy]

thanks :)

[@neildmonte8786]

Can you create percussion sounds with it?

[@synthanatomy]

yes :)

[@neildmonte8786]

Excellent thanks a lot, been thinking about getting one and your video definitely helped me make my mind up, think I will get one

[@adamvolkinshtein1184]

From the hit that Kiasmos with the mk2 of this synth I wonder how well it stays in tune (filter too) and do you think it can be compared to a moog?

[@synthanatomy]

can't compare it because the Dark Energy was a loan unit but my unit stayed good in tune :)

[@austinbru]

Are there effects in the chain?

[@synthanatomy]

no effect just the Dark Energy!

[@austinbru]

@@synthanatomy Wow.

[@stewarthenson7558]

Where's the red wire going to?

[@synthanatomy]

it's audio output so in the recording interface

[@floatershaw]

Any one know if it sound,s as good as dark energy 1 as in the first one,,

[@synthanatomy]

the sound of the Dark Energy I is different because it used a different chip CEM3394 which is no longer in production. Dark Energy III includes the CEM3340. The sound character is different but both are great sounding synths

[@jig7saw]

Hey there, my Dark Energy I is (was), one of the BEST synth I have EVER played/owned, it's toast now, kinda broke down- but WOW- the sound and all the modification you can make to just ONE note is mind blowing. I used it to perform EDM along with my Triton and Yahama synth's. by far it has the Lowest bass and could rock the building Down! I will have to get a New Dark Energy III - anyway I explored for hours and hours with sound varations. I really do expect the newer version to: Warm up much faster- it's really the only drawback I noticed. I can't wait to meet Dr. Doepfer some day, he looks so joyful and IS after the Best Sound. Good Luck to You !!!!

[@dddux]

I'm sorry but I must say that if it had 2 oscillators and a second envelope, it would be worth almost 500 euro they ask for it. This is just too basic. It does sound pretty good. Not earth-shattering, I think it's due to only 2nd order filter. To be able to make drums and those laser effects, and great basses, you need a 4th order, or at least 3rd order filter. Yes, just too limited. I'd buy it if it was about 250 euro. I'd possibly buy two. :) FM and XFM are a really nice. retro kinda, touch that expands its one OSC abilities vastly!

[@TheEpinema]

CRAZY clickbait. Good sounds.

[@gianfry1980]

Don’t like sorry but for the same price i prefer Arturia MicroFreak
