    DMC-3XL / DMC-4 Gen3 Operation Manual Firmware Revision 1.01b / Revised 08.19.2016 1. Introduction Thanks for purchasing a Disaster Area Designs DMC-3XL / DMC-4 Gen3 controller. We’ve worked hard for the last two years developing and refining our MIDI controller technology, and we’ve incorporated suggestions from players all over the world. The Gen3 controllers have more features, more functions, and more connectivity than any of our previous controllers.

  • Page 8: Preset Mode

    6. Preset Mode The DMC Gen3 Preset Mode lets the player change sounds and statuses on all connected devices simultaneously during performance. Each connected device program number and bypass state is saved as part of a preset, as is the MIDI clock and clock subdivision setting if the Clock mode is enabled.
  • Page 9 7. Scrolling Modes The Scrolling Modes are the heart of single-device control on the DMC Gen3. Up to four Scrolling Modes may be enabled, each set to control a separate device on its own MIDI channel. Scrolling Mode Controls: Tap the left button to move down one program / patch on the selected device. Hold the left button to quickly scroll down.

  • Page 10: Tap Tempo

    Hold the center button to toggle the looper position between PRE and POST. Consult your looper documentation to learn how your PRE / POST function operates. Looper Volume Mode Tap or hold the left button to decrease the looper volume. Tap or hold the right button to increase the looper volume.
  • Page 11 Note that if Preset or Global MIDI clock is enabled, the clock messages will be sent to all MIDI devices. Whether the devices react to or follow the clock signal is dependent on the devices themselves. Most devices support a way to ignore MIDI clock, consult your device manual for more details.
  • Page 12 11. MultiJack The MultiJack is pure magic. How else would you describe a single connector that can act as an expression pedal input, remote footswitch input, tap tempo output, or even as a dedicated MIDI output? Magic, we say. Inside the DMC Gen3 is a bank of three DIP switches. These switches allow the tap tempo output to be fully isolated and floating, to prevent possible ground loops with your pedals.
