Subject: [Simmons Drums] recording of SDS9 internal demo sequence upload to
new "recordings" directory

> With our love of music and Simmons drums specifically it seem that we

> as a sales aid are so common in synthesizers and workstations today,
> but were really unheard of in 1985 when the SDS9 was introduced!
> Once again we have proof that Dave Simmons and his group were really

> So enjoy this kool demo. I made it direct to digital with no
> outboard processing to capture the most accurate sound of the SDS9's
> various factory presets. Dig that "digitally synthesised" bass drum
> sound; sounds more like a finger-snap then any bass drum I've ever
> heard. Buy you gotta love those toms; thinner and cleaner, lacking
> the heft of the SDSV or SDS8, closer to the sound of the 200, 400 &
> 800 series.

> So please, convert your recordings to small MP3 files and upload to
> this new folder. It would be great to hear what other Simmons
> aficionados are doing with these great old modules. In listening to
> our fellow member's recordings we may hear possibilities in our own
> equipment that we have not realized.

> Enjoy,
