Hi,
the Doepfer.de homepage is certainly the best source of information about their products.
A sequencer like Dark Time is certainly a useful addition as your other synthesizers will profit from it. So you can't go wrong with Dark Time. In order to enhance the sonic abilities of the Dark Time itself you might either wait for the apparently planned extension of the Doepfer Dark Line called Dark Matter (if I'm not mistaken). A concept you will also find with Analogue Solutions' Station X and Y (like Dark Energy and Dark Matter( )) and Station Q (can be compared to Dark Time, in terms of product line). Check YouTube channel of rezfilter for indepth information and sound on these. - I hope no one is going to throw stones at me in this forum for suggesting a non Doepfer product ... ;-)
cheers
Jakob
