The DDM4000 as MIDI controller7.
The DDM4000 can be used to control DJ or sequencer software
applications by converting individual mixer sections on the mixer to
MIDI controllers and assigning these to dened software functions.
The MIDI interface [76] is used to transmit the data. To connect to
the mixer, the computer requires a MIDI interface, which can be
purchased as USB alternative for a very reasonable price.

Connecting the DDM4000 to a computerFig. 7.1:
MIDI protocol7.1
The MIDI format is used for the data transmission. Knobs and
faders send Control Change messages (CC), and push buttons
send Note messages (see Table 10.2). Access the software
settings to assign mixer controls to software functions. Most
software applications offer a learn function to make the assigning
even easier.
The MIDI transmission also works in the opposite direction. Ba-
sically, it is conned to controlling the LEDs, so that a switching
status in the software application can also be shown on the
DDM4000. In this case the DDM4000 receives CC messages
from the computer. Each LED of the DDM4000 is assigned to
a CC number (see Table 10.3). Sending the value 0 makes the
LED go out, but sending the value 1 (or any higher value) turns
on the LED.
Common MIDI settings7.2
The MIDI settings are made on the MIDI Setup page.
Press the CONSOLE SETUP knob 1) [51] for approximately 2
seconds.
Select “MIDI Settings” by turning and pressing the CONSOLE 2)
SETUP knob. The MIDI Setup page appears on the display:
This page allows you to make the following settings:
Adjusting the MIDI channel (7.2.1) =
Sending a MIDI dump (7.2.2) =

Press the ESC push button 3) [52] to exit MIDI Setup.
Save the settings you made in a user preset (see Chap- +
ter 3.5.2 “Storing user settings”) in case you want the
settings to be active the next time you switch on the
device.
