9.2.1.7 DRUM KIT EXCHANGE
With drum kit exchange the G9 allows for exporting drum kits to create backup files of favorite kits
including effects. This feature is hosted in the feature shelf of the Drum Kit Browser and allows for
sharing your drum kits with other G9 devices via the built-in import feature. The relevant file format is
gdk (GEWA Drum Kit) which is recognized in the file browsers of the user interface by its own icon.
When exporting a drum kit, all presets are discarded, and parameter values are stored directly
instead, resulting in “Custom Setting” contents of any preset field of the relevant drum kit parame-
ters. This means that if presets are preferred you must store each preset individually after the import,
or simply assign the underlying presets from your existing preset library again and save the kit.

Export
Storage in *.gdk file (direct)
Also, be aware, that a gdk file does not store any sound samples, but just the relevant drum kit
parameters including sound referencing. A gdk file requires addressed samples to be installed in the
sound library as either factory sound or imported sound from the GEWA Sound Store. In case of
sounds not being installed on the target device, an import will result in empty Sound Select fields (Kit
Editior) and the Pads won´t be audible. (See also 13.6 Shop on page 163 and 13.5 Import Tool on page 158)
