The ddrum4 has a huge sound memory where all the sounds reside. When we ship the ddrum4,
its sound memory is fully loaded with the ddrum4 factory sounds. The shift functions are
related to the management of the sound memory including the removal and replacement of
sounds.
Important stuff
It is very important to understand that the entire sound memory, every sound that you find in
the ddrum4, can be erased and replaced with other sounds. There are no factory sounds inside
that cannot be removed or replaced.
This sets a new standard of flexibility but it presents a potential problem, the unintended
erasing of the entire sound memory. After such an operation, you would need to reload the
ddrum4 with new sounds in order to be able to use it again. We have made it a bit difficult to
perform this dangerous operation but please read the following paragraphs before you start to
experiment with these functions. Another good thing to do would be to download the factory
sounds from our web site at http://www.clavia.se/ as a precaution.
