ULTRA MIC 1 and 2:

On the Mic FX page, you can select the type of effect you want to use
for the microphone signal. The following effects are available:
The Ultramic processor is a 2-band compressor that reduces the dynamic range of
speech. The level of loud sounds is reduced and the level of quiet sounds is raised.
This decreases the difference between the loudest and quietest passages.
By splitting the signal into two frequency bands, a thicker, more powerful
sound is achieved without the typical artifacts, such as pumping sound or a
loss of clarity.
The settings for both microphone signals are made separately. That’s the reason
for having two Ultramic pages. For Mic 1, select the page “Ultramic 1” and choose
“Ultramic 2” for Mic 2. The parameters on both pages are identical so that they

(52) 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
(53) 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

The samples can be played back in various ways (as infinite loop/loop, one time,

You can adjust the tempo of the MIDI Clock. Alternatively, the MIDI Clock can also

the sample is mixed to the specific channel or is routed to the crossfader.
When playing back the sample in Insert Mode, the sample is crossfaded to the
assigned channel.
