I never met Jennifer so everything is what I've heard from several SDX users ;
Jennifer is the one who allowed Dave creating SIMMONS DIGITAL by apparently buying him the SDX patent, so Dave could reinject the money in a smaller SIMMONS business...
It was about the end of eighties...
As you probably all know, Simmons limited in St Alban had to close ...
The SDX research & devellopment did cost too much to the company compared to how many were actually sold ...in the same times the japanese concurence was increasing so the hard times started for Simmons...
Dave told me the mistake was to want to do the best EDrums instead of doing smaller products...He wanted it the Fairlight of EDrums ...He did , even if something need to be achieved...
a good example ; from what I've heard Jennifer used to ask about £200 for SDX schematics .
Jennifer is also the one who created SIMMONS .COM that everybody wonders when the site will open...
It seems having been delayed as Jennifer seems having big problems ....
...
The Legend says that She is in fact He , a friend says " It" ...
Anyway, the SDX path seems quite linked to Jennifer, Whoever she is ...
hope that helps,
bye,
Patrice.
