In and Out/Thru Connectors
These connectors provide full MIDI functionality to the DDP. The Out/Thru jack allows you to use the DDP at any
point in the MIDI chain. All automation functions are accessed through the MIDI connectors.
Analog Inputs and Outputs
Each analog channel features both XLR and 1/4” TRS electronically balanced inputs and outputs. They may be
used in a balanced or unbalanced configuration. To use unbalanced signal, use a 1/4” TS jack, or ground pin 3 of
the XLR cable.
