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 (51) to select the mixer 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 (52) to exit MIDI Setup.
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 crossfader 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 (45) to select the stereo 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.
4) Press the ESC push button (52) to exit MIDI Setup.
◊ Level 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 OUTPUT knob in the Main and Phones
section completely to the left before activating this function.
8. Installation
The inputs and outputs of the BEHRINGER DDM4000 are RCA connectors.
The Headphone output is a stereo jack. The Microphone inputs are
XLR connectors.
◊ Make sure that only competent people install your DDM4000.
They must be sufficiently earthed during and after the
installation process. Otherwise, electrostatic discharges may
negatively affect the operating characteristics of your equipment.
