Loading Sounds

[0127frey]

A couple of weeks ago i received a DDrum 4 module which i bought used off eBay,There are only a few sounds on it that i can find (1 snare,1rim,3 toms and 1 perc),Anyway i had a go at loading a full kit of 10 sounds,It went into count down on the Tool but on the Module it first showed ERR,then FUL,So i stopped and then tried loading just 1 sound,Again the Tool went into countdown followed by the the Module,I tried pressing the the Kick button on Pallete but no sound,Can some tell me whats going on,and what i should be doing to erase the sounds already stored,and how to load the one i want,Thanks. the way i tried to load new sounds was the way said in the "M-Audio Uno 1-in/1-out USB MIDI Interface" Thread,I even went ahead and bought Midi cable the same because i was having trouble loading with the one that came with the Module,I thought this might solve my problems,But no.The person who had the Module before me said i would be be better off wipping off all the sounds and starting from scratch,But i don't know how to wipe it clean,can anyone help me with these problems?,Thanks

Hi I suggest you read the thread you mentioned. My post in that one explains another way of doing it. Works a lot better for me. Regarding deleting sounds - check out the manual. It's all in there :-)

Cheers,I'll go ahead and have a go at that.But does the Manual explain how to erase sounds from the Dump too?.

There is no distinction between sounds - they all can be deleted. Here's some copy-paste from the manual, pages 29 & 30:
"When a sound or a sound group is marked for removal, the DISPLAY will flash. To un-mark a selected sound/sound group, just press the SHIFT and MARK buttons again. When you turn the ROTARY DIAL after having marked an entire sound group you can see each individual sound of the selected group flashing in the DISPLAY. It’s possible to unmark individual sounds of a sound group by scrolling with the ROTARY DIAL and pressing SHIFT and MARK for each individual sound. It’s also possible to mark several sounds by selecting sounds with the ROTARY DIAL and mark them by pressing SHIFT and MARK. If you have marked some sounds and leave the shift functions without deleting the sounds, they will be unmarked and you have to start all over, marking them again at a later stage. If you are unsure whether your sounds should be deleted, simply leave the Mark function by pressing EXIT.

You are now ready to delete the sounds that you marked for removal (see above). Be aware that this is going to be a “no-going-back” operation:
1. Hold the SHIFT and press the DELETE button. The DISPLAY will flash, indicating the total number of Blocks that will be deleted (the total number of Blocks for all marked sounds).
2. Confirm the deletion by holding the SHIFT button and pressing the DELETE button again, or abort by pressing EXIT.
While the ddrum4 SE is clearing up its sound memory, the DISPLAY will count down as the Blocks are deleted. This operation will take a while, depending on the size and location of the sounds that are removed. You must wait until this operation is finished, which will be indicated by a zero in the DISPLAY.
IMPORTANT! Do not turn off the ddrum4 SE module during this process!"

Does anyone know how to use the system settings file on the DDrum4SE 1.5 CD or am I looking for something else on the CD to reconfigure the system, thanks,Ken
