New release ddrum4ui-1.2.2 available!
I encountered a bug when programming a sound with ten layers and ten variations, it is now corrected. Thanks to Ken and Geoff for their reactivity.

I just posted an example of my own custom snare sounds in the unofficially-ddrum proboards forum, so you can see how parameters and variations work.

Hello
What are the symptoms when you say the pad is defective?
Maybe it can just be fixed...

To the OP.  That is so amazingly useful, thank you

You're welcome!

Thanks a lot!
I know Lustark and Anders's work, but never had the occasion to use their products. I was interessed by the Zourman hi-hat converter until I found a Clavia pad with the Hall effect sensor.
Did you download ddrum4ui and test it?

I don't own any 2Box, so I may be wrong, but I think It's not quite comparable to drumIt.
Ddrum4ui does not manage (yet?) the organization of kits like drumIt does. Ddrum4ui only manages the creation and customization of sounds for the ddrum4 module, but in a much deeper way than drumIt does, especially in the multi-layer management thanks to the specific velocity and positioning parameters as well as the smart use of variations.
I've already created and tested in my ddrum4 hundreds of new sounds, most of them by mixing sounds from the Clavia soundbanks. I can confirm it's a very powerful tool for the Ddrum4 owners.
I've just uploaded a manual (english and french) to explain the features and the use of ddrum4ui.
The best is to download and play with it, you can use the pad simulator to hear your creations if you don't own a ddrum4 yet. The whole collection of Clavia sounds is available in the download page.
Last difference with DrumIt, ddrum4ui is available on Windows and MacOS, and is totally free... 

I don't know if I could find the time to record a video of how ddrum4ui works, there are many possible uses. The operation of the software is intuitive, and can be tested without necessarily having a ddrum 4 module, thanks to the virtual pad which quite closely simulates the behavior of the created sound when played with a ddrum4 kit.
The only important point to understand before transferring to the module is the concept of Sound_ID, used by Clavia to assign sounds to the module's memory locations.
But I can post a fairly detailed user guide online, as soon as I've finished writing it, and some examples of custom sounds, notably to show the use of variations and position/velocity parameters.

The release 1.2.1 is ok and works fine.

Look for new releases and related information here

New update of ddrum4ui available, using the last release of ddrum4dit.

A small bug was detected in version 1.2 (sample levels in layers), so I encourage you to use version 1.1.3 while waiting for corrections.
This previous version has exactly the same functionalities and is still available on the download page.

New update of ddrum4ui available, using the last release of ddrum4dit.

And ddrum4ui has been updated, too, to use ddrum4edit 1.02.00

Thank you for your support, I confirm that the Ddrum4 brain is still alive !
