7.2.1

Setting the MIDI channel

The following describe how to specify the MIDI channel on which
the DDM4000 is to send controller data. The receiving device
needs to be set to the same channel.
1) Open MIDI Setup (see Chapter 7.2).
2) Turn the left PARAMETER knob
channel.
3) Press the ESC push button
7.2.2

Sending a MIDI dump

A MIDI dump sends the values of current controller positions. As
a result, the DDM4000's settings are aligned with the connected
computer.
1) Open MIDI Setup (see Chapter 7.2).
2) Press the left PARAMETER knob
dump. After sending the dump, the DDM4000 returns to
MIDI Setup.
3) Press the ESC push button
7.3 Configuring Microphone channel, Sampler
and crossfader as MIDI controller
The Microphone channel, the Sampler and the crossfader section
can individually be converted to MIDI controllers.
1) Open MIDI Setup (see Chapter 7.2).
2) Turn the CONSOLE SETUP knob
section (MIC, SAMPLER, CROSSFADER) you want to use.
3) Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob to confirm the selection.
The LEDs of the selected section go out.
4) Press the ESC push button
Particularities of the crossfader:
It is not possible to assign the stereo channels to the crossfader
when the crossfader section is defined as controller. The Assign
push buttons are inoperative. The routing behaves as if the cross-
fader is deactivated: the signals are directly fed to the mixer's sum.
As for the Sampler, the CF Assign function and CF Start function
are also inoperative. As usual, the routing of the Sampler signal
is realized with the REC SOURCE push button.
7.4 Configuring stereo channels as
MIDI controller
Using the channel fader {8}, the EQ knobs {4} and the kill push
buttons {5} and {6} generates MIDI data when one of the 4 stereo
channels is configured as MIDI controller. The configured channel
is still able to play back music, however, the equalizer, the channel
fader and the CF Assign function are not active. In case an audio
signal is being fed to the selected channel, it is routed to the mixer's
sum without being processed and at full volume level. Simply mute
the signal in case the audio function is not required.
1) Open MIDI Setup (see Chapter 7.2).
2) Turn the right PARAMETER knob
channel you want (and, if required, the Mute function).
3) Press the PARAMETER knob to confirm the selection. The
push-button LEDs of the selected channel go out.
Press the ESC push button
+
jumps can occur when activating or deactivating the
MIDI controller function in a stereo channel depending
on the position of the equalizer and fader! Turn the OUT-
PUT knob in the Main and Phones section completely
to the left before activating this function.
