DIGITAL PRO MIXER DDM4000 User Manual

Selecting a signal for FX 2:
1) Press the FX 2 ASSIGN push button (43).
2) Turn the right PARAMETER knob (45) to select a signal source from the list.
3) Press the right PARAMETER knob to confirm the selection.

4.1.2 Activating an effect
1) Press the FX ON push button (42) to activate the effect. Both the FX ON

push button and the EFFECT/BAND push button (46) – (48) flash.

2) Turn the DEPTH knob slowly to the right until you hear the effect

as is intended.

Kill function on the effect path:
A specially effective way of alienation is to remove individual frequency bands

from the effect processing. There are three additional Kill switches that are found

on the signal path leading to the effects unit. The EFFECT/BAND push buttons

of the activated effect flash blue corresponding to the frequency bands that are

active. By pressing the push buttons you are able to “kill” the frequency bands.

And the display shows the Kill function’s status.

Press one of the EFFECT/BAND push buttons ( (46), (47), (48) ) while the effect

is active. The push-button LED of the deactivated band goes out.

4.1.3 Selecting an effect
Nine effect types are available. The effect table in Chapter 4.1.4 gives an

overview of the possible effects and their adjustable parameters.
1) Press the SELECT push button (46). The display shows a list of all

types of effects.

2) Turn the PARAMETER knob (45) to select the effect type.
3) Press the PARAMETER knob to load the effect type.

4.1.4 Effect descriptions
The following gives you a description of the available effects and

adjustable parameters. (BPM-synchronized parameters are printed in italic.) The

tables show you which controls are used to adjust the parameters. Chapter 4.1.5

describes effect processing. Chapter 4.1.6 gives you the information you need

to know about BPM-synchronized parameters.

FLANGER, PHASER, PAN:
FLANGER
: The flanger effect is achieved by frequency modula-tion. You are able

to adjust the speed of the LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator), the amount of the

effect signal that is fed back to the input (Feedback), the effect depth (Depth)

and the degree of phase shifting represented in rhythmical units (Phase).

Use Fade in case you want the flanger to complete its period of oscillation

after the effect has been turned off, to avoid an abrupt truncation of the effect.
PHASER is similar to the flanger. In this case the modulation is achieved through

phase shifting. You can adjust the speed of the LFO and the effect depth (Depth).

Use Fade to determine if the effect is to end abruptly or softly fade out.
PAN specified an effect which lets the signal move from the right to the left side

of the stereo image. This effect sounds the most intensive when the DEPTH knob

is turned right up. LFO adjusts the speed of the panning and Depth adjusts the

effect depth.

DELAY, ECHO:
DELAY
is a signal delay. The delay time (Time) can by synchronized with

the BPM Counter. A simple delay (Simple) and the 3-Pong Delay, which spreads

the delays across the whole stereo image, are available.
ECHO is similar to the delay. The only difference is that the delayed signal is

repeated several times. Use Feedback to specify the number of times that the

delay is to be repeated. Fade determines if the echo is to fade out (On) or not

(Off) when the effect is turned off.
