MIDI MIXER FUNCTION

MIDI controllers are now assigned to the DD1500's mixer channels. Remote control of the
DD's mixer is therefore possible using dedicated MIDI controllers and/or the mixing
functions found in many sequencers. In fact, by sending data from a sequencer,
automated mixing is therefore possible on the DD1500.
The MIDI control of the DD1500's mixer is switched on by pressing SHIFT+MIDI (F3) in the
SYSTEM page. You will see this temporary message:
MIDI control of mixer enabled
The mixer channels respond to controllers #7 (volume) and #10 (pan) with MIDI channels
1-16 corresponding to tracks 1-16 on the DD1500. If you are using a MIDI control surface,
it should be programmed accordingly (please see the unit's operator's manual for details
on this). The status of the mixer (i.e. enabled or not) is saved with the project.
NOTE: If you have the DD1500's MIX page open, the graphic depiction of the level and
pan controls will move as the mixer is remotely controlled over MIDI.
Please see the section UTILITIES - MIXER - 19 for details on automating the DD1500's
mixer with an external MIDI sequencer.
