"This sequencer is a very capable 8/16-step analog + midi sequencer with all the modern bells and whistles, but is impressively small, portable, and light compared to similar vintage and modern sequencers. The multitude of knobs and switches makes it very playable. The wood side panels add a nice touch and the unit feels very solidly built. I haven't checked for recent firmware updates, but features like defining your own pitch/voltage scales are still being developed. Some bidders may be concerned with the brightness of the blue LEDS, but I've had no problems with them. They're very easy on the eyes, as opposed to other blue LEDS I've seen. I've used this sequencer with both a Eurorack modular synth and a Korg MS-20, and had great results with both.

To paraphrase the manufacturer's description, the Dark Time sequencer has the following features:
- two rows with 8 controls each
- several operating modes:
- several running directions:
- several voltage / tuning ranges: 1V, 2V, 5V (corresponding to 1/2/5 octaves)
- gate voltage 0/+5V
- quantization on/off/custom scale
- transpose via switch (-1/0/+1 octave), Midi/USB or external CV input
- timing control (internal clock, external USB/Midi, or external analog clock), selected by a three position switch:
- analog interface for CV/gate/clock/Start-Stop (inputs and outputs, 3.5 mm mini-jack sockets)"
