Subject: SDS9 MIDI functions

From: "C" <screamlab@...>
Date: 2005-10-10

Hello all.
I'm a new member of the group, a longtime collector of analog
beatboxes and drum synthesizers. I've never had any difficulty
figuring out the most arcane user interfaces, until now. The SDS9
MIDI functions have me stumped, and it seems there's no english
manuals available on the web. If anyone has the last 16 pages of the
manual available, let me know. Or, if anyone can explain briefly how
to set up the SDS9 to receive MIDI and how the various modes work, I
would be very appreciative. So far, I've managed to get it to
simultaneoulsy trigger the Bass Drum, Side Stick, and Mid Tom from the
lowest MIDI note (C-3 or something like that, MIDI note 1). I've been
unable to trigger the other voices via MIDI, though it all works great
with pads.
Thanks!
