Eect descriptions:
FLANGER: A anger eect occurs through frequency modulation. You can adjust
the speed of the LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator).
PHASER is similar to a anger. Only this time around, modulation is
achieved through phase-shifting. You can adjust the speed of the LFO.
DELAY is a signal delay. You can change the delay time (Time).
ECHO is similar to the delay eect, with the dierence that the delayed signal is
repeated several times.
PITCH changes the pitch of the signal and therefore the pitch of the vocalist’s and
speaker’s voice. Shift is used to adjust the pitch.

Operating the crossfader3.4
The use of the Crossfader is easy to understand, even for a DJ novice.
But the DDM4000 wouldn’t be a digital mixer if it hadn’t a couple of special
functions to oer that cannot be easily realized with an analog DJ Mixer.
Crossfader modes: KILL and X-OVER3.4.1
There are three push buttons labeled HIGH, MID and LOW ( (22) ) on the left-hand
side and on the right-hand side of the Crossfader. When activated, they function
as Kill switches, that is they can suppress specic frequency bands.
X-Over (Crosssover) Mode lets you realize completely new, breathtaking eects.
In this mode, it is possible to assign specic frequency bands to Side A and B
that can then be crossfaded.Here’s an example to make the functionality clear:
Move the crossfader 1) (20) to the left (A).
Press the FULL FREQ push button 2) (23) in Section A.
Press the Kill push button 3) (22) “MID” in Section B.
In the left crossfader position, the A signal is played back in its complete
frequency range. By moving the crossfader to the right, only the mid frequencies
of the B signal are faded in while the mids of the A signal are faded out.
The low and high frequencies of the A signal remain audible. As a result,
the low and high frequencies of the A signal together with the mid frequencies
of the B signal are audible at the output of the mixer.
X-Over Mode keeps your mixing style fresh and unique. You can activate
X-Over Mode in Crossfader Setup.
