Operating the crossfader

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 offer that cannot be easily realized with an analog DJ Mixer.

3.4.1

Crossfader modes: KILL and X-OVER

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 specific frequency bands.

X-Over (Crosssover) Mode lets you realize completely new, breathtaking effects.

In this mode, it is possible to assign specific frequency bands to Side A and B

that can then be crossfaded.Here’s an example to make the functionality clear:

1)

Move the crossfader

(20)

to the left (A).

2)

Press the FULL FREQ push button

(23)

in Section A.

3)

Press the Kill push button

(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.
