No matter if the ddrum4 SE is in Palette mode or in Kit mode, this is where and how you select a sound
for a particular channel. Any sound in the ddrum4 SE can be assigned to any of the ten sound channels.
The sounds are indicated with a number in the
D
ISPLAY
and by a lit segment in the
S
YSTEM
I
NDICATOR
bar to indicate sound group (category).
1. Press the
S
OUND
button.
2. Select a channel by pressing a
C
HANNEL
button.
3. Select a sound by turning the
R
OTARY
D
IAL
. As you turn the
R
OTARY
D
IAL
, the sound numbers are
shown in the
D
ISPLAY
. When selecting sounds the
S
YSTEM
I
NDICATOR
bar indicates to which
sound group the selected sound belongs. There are 10 sound groups (categories) in the ddrum4 SE
module: Kick, Snare, Rim, Tom, Percussion, Cymbal, Hi-hat, Effects, Assorted and Dump. If you
want to jump directly to another sound group, hold down the
S
OUND
button and turn the
R
OTARY
D
IAL
. If you want a channel to be silent, turn the
R
OTARY
D
IAL
counter clockwise until ‘---’ is
shown in the
D
ISPLAY
. This could be useful if you would like to trigger external sounds over MIDI,
without having the ddrum4 SE making any sound of its own.
Tip! You can quickly select consecu-
tive sounds to adjacent channels. This can be very useful for the Tom channels. If you e.g. select a
sound for the high tom, hold down the S
OUND
button and press the M
ID
and L
OW
tom buttons.
The sounds that are next in order to the first selected one, will be assigned to the other two chan-
nels.
If a channel in a kit is silent, the sound assigned to that channel may have been deleted from the sound
memory. If you select that channel in the sound function mode, the
D
ISPLAY
will flash. You can then
reload the sound or select another sound to the channel. See
for details on how to load sounds
to the ddrum4 SE.

In some sounds several variations can be selected. A variation uses the same sound sample or multi sam-
ples, but with some additional programming or tweaking. This could be different equalization, different
velocity selections etc. Try them out! Select variation with the

Note: The Variation function also works for your custom MIDI Sample Dump sounds. For MIDI
Sample Dump sounds, Variation #5 is a “mono trig” variation which means that any new trig of the
