Doepfer Dark Energy II

via PatchPierre.Net, via The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"In the Doepfer Usergroup he [Deiter Doepfer] stated that 'the Dark Energy will be discontinued as the CEM3394 chip is no longer available and the negotiations with the manufacturer (OnChip, the Curtis Electromusic successor) concerning a new productions series of the CEM3394 were not successful so far. We think about a redesign of the unit (Dark Energy II) but it will be another instrument with a different sound and features (e.g. probably a 12 dB multimode filter with lowpass, highpass, bandpass and notch (like the A-121 Multimode Filter- but i guess without CEM3320 - instead of the 24 dB lowpass).'"

Note the A-111-5 Mini Synth eurorack module version also uses the CEM3394.
