anyone know if you can load samples into DDRUM4 using the M-Audio DELTA 1010LT's??? Or the Roland SPDS sampler???

As long as it has a Midi OUT connection and you're able to use the ddrum4 tool, you should be able to use it to transfer sounds to your ddrum4. As for the Roland SPDS, if it can support doing a sample dump using the SDS standard, then yes, it should be able to transfer samples into your ddrum4 (they'd end up in the DUMP category). In fact, you can transfer samples from ANY sampler to your ddrum4 using that method. Unfortunately, they end up as single layered samples with no velocity, position or pressure sensing capability when you do this... Both methods should be covered in the user's manual  |

ahhh, when i open up the ddrum tool and open the files there not there, if i click "all files" then i see them but when i click open i get a "bad midi file" command. The 1010lt is installed in my computer so theres no usb to connect like you do with the midi sport you menioned above. maybe i should just buy one of those? ughh

sounds more like an issue with the ddrum tool or the sound files. You should be able to open the tool and load the files even without a MIDI device configured in it.

I downloaded the ddrum tool from the disk and i made 16bit wav files, cant figure out why when i open the files i dont see them, they are on my desktop, i'll try maybe downloading an updated tool maybe, i'm running windows XP. Thanks bud its great getting feedback quickly!!

Spotted your problem - the ddrum tool only works with the ddrum sound files. It won't recognize or load any other kind of file.
If you want to load your own sound files, you'll need to use something like Sound Forge (an older version that I had would dump mono wave files to my ddrum4 with no problem), or you'll have to load them into another sampler, then dump them into your ddrum4 from there.

yes looks like your right, i bought the midisport but it couldnt see the wav files on lt but did see the ddrum files so guess i'll hunt down soundforge ....i do have the akia 3000 sampler... maybe i'll give that a go first, it is from the same time period!

As I mentioned, when I did this with Sound Forge, it was a number of years ago. You may want to find out if it still supports MIDI SDS dumps for 16-bit 44,100Hz Mono waveforms before buying a copy.
You may have better luck moving the sounds into your Akai sampler first, then over to your ddrum4.
Of course, there is always the possibility of just using your ddrum4 as a trigger to midi interface and use the Akai as the sound source. From what I understand, that would give you more of a ddrum3's programming capability - velocity, positional and possibly pressure/aftertouch tracking. Though I'm not sure if it would be able to track the hihat (because the added contrl messages it uses). Perhaps you could use a combination of both to get the best of both worlds?
