19 DIGITAL PRO MIXER DDM4000 User Manual
PITCHER, BITCRUSHER:
PITCHER changes the pitch of the music without changing the tempo.
Shift adjusts the pitch.
BITCRUSHER simulates a decrease in the digital resolution.
From soft lo- settings to toy sounds, everything is possible.

REVERB:
REVERB is a reverberation eect. Eight dierent reverb room simulations are
available. When Fade is activated, the reverberation decays and is not truncated
in case the eect is turned o.
Ambient is a very short reverb which lets you virtually hear the walls of the room.
Box delivers a spatial impression without long reections.
Cathedral: The long and dense reverb of a big cathedral, ideal for slow tracks.
Cavern: An intensive, high-frequency-dominant reverb based on a cave with
rocky walls.
Chamber produces the short reverb of a small room.
Chorus: A thick, warm reverberation which is shorter than that of Cathedral.
Concert simulates the well-dened reverb of a big concert hall.
Echo: A thick, short reverb with a longer pre-delay.

FILTER:
FILTER is an eect which is typically associated with synthesizer music.
Three types of lters are available: Band Pass, Low Pass and High Pass.
Resonance is used to increase the level of the lter frequency which makes
the eect sound more intensive. In LFO Mode, the lter frequency is controlled
by an LFO. Manual Mode lets you control the lter frequency with the
DEPTH knob (44).

Editing eects4.1.5
As already mentioned in the previous chapter, each eect has up to ve
parameters (depending on the eect type) with which you can adjust the
eect. In each case it is possible to adjust one parameter by using the BEAT
push buttons. In most cases, this is the BPM-synchronized parameter.
Eect parameters:
Press the PARAMETER push button 1) (47) to select a parameter. This only
works when the eect is deactivated (the FX ON push button does not ash).
Alternatively, press the PARAMETER knob 2) (45) to select a parameter.
Change the parameter value by turning the PARAMETER knob 3) (45).
To switch to the next parameter, press PARAMETER 4) (45) or (47) again.
Dry/Wet mix:
Turn the MIX knob • (44) slowly to the right to mix the eect (Wet) to the
original signal (Dry).
BPM-synchronized eect parameters4.1.6
Some of the eect sound especially interesting when time-related parameters
respond to the rhythm of the music. The DDM4000 supports editable,
BPM-synchronized parameters.
Editing BPM-synchronized parameters:
Make sure that the BPM Counter calculates the correct value 1)
(if applicable, enter manually with TAP, see Chapter 4.2).
Change the parameter step-by-step with the BEAT push buttons 2) (49).
The selected value appears on the display.
