flashes on the display. In addition, the message “Low Level” appears on
the display. The BPM value also flashes when the beat cannot be clearly
identified (message “Uncertain”).
MIDI clock4.3
The MIDI Clock is used as a time reference for the Bounce function. In addition,
the MIDI Clock is given out at the MIDI output. This allows you to synchronize

and grooveboxes) with the DDM4000.

Fig. 5.1: Sampler section
A sampler is a device used to record and play back audio signals.
The DDM4000’s sampler lets you record two tracks which then can be played
back. These tracks are single short sequences, vocal phrases, rhythmic loops
or even longer song passages. Any audio signal fed to the mixer can be used as
signal source, usually found on the stereo channels, the Microphone channel and
the stereo sum. The maximum recording duration is 32 seconds. The samples can
be played back in various ways (as innite loop/loop, one time, forward, reverse).
