There are three different linked chain sequences built in to the DDP. From these sequences you can build your
own unique chains in order to fit your needs. They are listed below.
External Sidechain and the Digital Meters
The DDP’s external sidechain path offers you the ability to use other processors in the sidechain path. The digital
meters give you comprehensive feedback for ease of setup. Note in figure 12 above where the metering points
are for the digital meters when the DDP is in external sidechain mode. The Channel One meters will be showing
signal whether or not there is signal being passed through the sidechain. The Channel Two meters also show on
the way to the sidechain device as well as coming back form the device. When you press the
Bypass
button in
sidechain mode, both input meters will continue to operate, allowing you to see levels while bypassed.
