Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] Question on certain a Simmons sound

From: Dean Rumsey <hamsterdrum85@...>

I just found out those were done on a Linn drum machine. I know that the Linn Drum, Oberheim DX and DMX, and the Simmons SDS7 all used the same EPROMs.

remember that both SDSV & 7 had eproms for cymbals ...
(Yes the SDSV had a digital part for the cymbals soundcards )...
I think that SDS7 library was more extended to offer some different crashes
/ HH & ride cymbals, while the SDSV had a quite fixed library (& I presume
limited to the samples on board in the modules ) .
so if you know the date of the recordings you're talking about, it might
help you to determine what brain was available at that time...
Maybe the SDSV samples were also available in the "7" librairy ...so ...
If I remeber well the SDSV had been produced from 81 to 83 (?) & then the
SDS7 arrived ... So after 84 it might be both ...

hope that helps,
Patrice.
