HI KIKO, 
& Welcome !

Do you know MARK GLINSKY Website ; "the manor"...in US .
He's selling copies of Simmons' manuals .
You should find a SDS9 one there !

I think you need to adjust the Midi setting IN (!) the SDS9 , (So you 
need the manual to know how do it)...
Or you might try to reinitialise the unit .
(You also need the manual).
Unless your SDS9 midi connection has a problem ...

I think I've got a SDS9 manual butI'm not sure, let me know if you 
can't find any , I will try to find mine...But Mark Glinsky is 
definitely The way for that ! 

Anyway Good Luck ! 
Patrice.
