hi Damir, and thx for your demo.....
i listened to your demo of SDS2000 an it sounded like i thought it would do,
something like between a Roland R-8 and Akai XR-10.
it was probably a natural thing for simmons "at time" to throw in just samples and no analogue sound-engine at all.
when this SDS2k was released i belive "pioww" was lame, around 1988-89 ? or what ?
the question is, how fun or how intiutive is it to play samples of this kind on pads ? especially without any filters :/
maybe today SDS2000 will find its way into the midi-rig and connected straight to a sequencer via midi rather than connected to pads ?
well, the buyer of Damir's SDS2k will tell us maybe ;)
and again thx Damir for letting us know how the SDS2k sounded.
/k
