3.4 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.
