SAMPLE TRANSFERS
The SD2000 can import up to 28Mb of 16Bit .wav files. To move .wavs
into the SD2000 you will need to use the Simmons software program
(available on Simmonsdrums.net) that will enable you to select the
sample and send it to the internal memory of the SD2000. After
transferring the sample you can assign the sample your own custom
programs that can be played on the drums or cymbals.
You will need the SD2000 Sample Transfer program to move the
files from your computer to the SD2000. You can download this from
Simmonsdrums.net

the program indicate that you are connected to the SD2000’s
flash memory.

transfer to the module. You can transfer up to 28Mb of 16Bit .wav

transfer screen.
5. Click on the Transfer button to send the files to the module.
