hello, newb here, I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question

I've owned a dark energy for a while and recently purchased a dark time. I seem to be having a problem with the sequencer.

Out of the box when all steps are set to on/cont. (on the 16 step sequence) the 12th step goes back to 1 and begins again. In other words, its as if the 12th step is set to on/jump. The only way to get the sequencer to go through the sequence 1-16 is to set the 16th and a step before the 12th step to jump, then it runs through.

Is this normal? I didn't think so and had a replacement sent out and that unit is doing the same thing, so now I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Any help would be appreciated!

Cool, thanks for the response. And thanks for making such amazing products, I'm really loving these otherwise!

And rightly so!

Maybe the switch #12 is defective and has to be replaced. I ask you to
address technical questions that refer to Dark Time to our specialist
Christian Assall (software (at) doepfer (dot) de). He is the author of the
Dark Time firmware and knows all details about the unit. Maybe a firmware
update will solve the problem.
