MIDI MIXER FUNCTION
MIDI continuous controllers are assigned to the DD1500’s mixer channels. Remote control
of the DD’s mixer is therefore possible using dedicated MIDI controllers and/or the mixing
functions found in many sequencers. In fact, by sending data from a sequencer,
automated mixing is possible on the DD1500.
To enable MIDI control of the mixer, press SYSTEM and SHIFT+MIDI (F3). You will see
this temporary message:
MIDI control of mixer enabled
The mixer channels respond to controllers #7 (volume) and #10 (pan) with MIDI channels
1-16 corresponding to tracks 1-16 on the DD1500. If you are using a MIDI control surface,
it should be programmed accordingly (please see the unit’s operator’s manual for details
on this). The status of the mixer (i.e. enabled or not) is saved with the project.
NOTE: With the DD1500’s MIX page open, the graphic depiction of the level and pan
controls will move as the mixer is remotely controlled over MIDI.
MIDI MIXER AUTOMATION
Automated mixing could be achieved with something like the following setup:
Sequencer
MIDI In
MIDI Out
MIDI CONTROL PANEL
DD1500
DL1500
MIDI Out
MIDI In
MIDI Merger
MIDI Out
The MIDI output of the DD1500 goes to the sequencer - this supplies the MTC or MIDI
clock to drive the sequencer (if you are using a MIDI control panel as a mixer surface to
control level and pan, you will need to use some form of MIDI merge unit if your
sequencer doesn’t have two MIDI ins). The mix data is recorded in the sequencer and
passed to the DD1500. To record mix automation, set the sequencer to record, press
PLAY on the DD1500 and use the controller to mix - the mix data will be recorded into the
sequencer (you will need to consult your sequencer’s operator’s manual for more
information on exactly how to achieve this). When you play back the sequence, the mix
