4.1.6 BPM-synchronized effect parameters
Some of the effect sound especially interesting when time-related parameters
respond to the rhythm of the music. The DDM4000 supports editable,
BPM-synchronized parameters.
Editing BPM-synchronized parameters:
1) Make sure that the BPM Counter calculates the correct value
(if applicable, enter manually with TAP, see Chapter 4.2).
2) Change the parameter step-by-step with the BEAT push buttons (49).
The selected value appears on the display.
DELAY, ECHO:
For the delay and echo effect, you can edit the delay time in musical units.
The number of beats is displayed:

A rhythmical representation of the whole looks like this
(showing a selection of several beats):

FLANGER, PHASER, PAN, FILTER:
For the filter effect, the BPM synchronization is only possible in LFO Mode.
You can adjust the speed of the modulation (LFO speed). The values 1–32
correspond to the number of beats that are needed for one oscillation period:

4.1.7 FX setup
FX Setup lets you specify the crossover frequencies between the individual bands
of the EFFECT/BAND push buttons (46) – (48) (Kill function on the effect path,
see Chapter 4.1.2). This is individually done for both effect devices.
Adjustable parameters:
FX 1 LOW / FX 2 LOW: Crossover frequency between LOW and MID.
FX 1 HIGH / FX 2 HIGH: Crossover frequency between MID and HIGH.
1) Press the left or right PARAMETER knob (45) to select the parameter for
FX 1 and FX 2.
2) Turn the left or right PARAMETER knob to change the value of
the selected value.
4.2 BPM counter
The Auto BPM Counter is automatically able to convert the tempo of the track
being played into BPM (Beats Per Minute). The detected BPM values are the
basis for all time-related effect parameters and for the recording duration
of the sampler. The BPM can be detected in two different ways: manually
and automatically. In both cases, the current BPM is shown in Section B of
the display.
