The ddrum4 SE has a special way of interpreting MIDI Program Change messages.
The kits, P. 1 - 26 can be selected by sending MIDI Program Change numbers 0 to 25 to the ddrum4
SE. The factory kits, F.27 - 99 use MIDI Program Change numbers 26 to 98.
MIDI Program Change 99 is used to turn the ddrum4 SE to the default Palette mode, the default mode
when you turn on the ddrum4 SE.
To select one of the sounds in the Kick palette, send one of the MIDI Program Change numbers 100 to
104, for the Snare palette, use one of the MIDI Program Change numbers 106 to 110. The other two
Palette groups use the MIDI Program Change numbers 112 to 116 and 118 to 122 respectively.
To deselect a Palette in, e.g. the Kick group, send the MIDI Program Change number 105 (to revert to
the kit selection for that particular Palette group). Use the MIDI Program Change numbers 111, 117 and
123 for the other Palette groups.
This means that in order to set the ddrum4 to a certain sound combination by sending MIDI Program
Change numbers to it, you may have to use a combination of several MIDI Program Change messages.
You may select a kit by one MIDI Program Change message (0 -98), change the kick in that particular
kit by sending another MIDI Program Change number, etc.
As well as receiving MIDI Program Change numbers, the ddrum4 SE transmits them whenever you select
a kit or palette on the ddrum4 SE itself.
