I recently bought an Ultimate Percussion K2-X including two pads. It's a bit
temperamental (bad soldering somewhere?) but a friend is having a look at
it. I was amazed how simple the inside was and it reminded me a lot of my
SDS-IV when it came to number of IC's and controls but also the sounds it
was able to produce.
8 channels and totally analogue from 1984... I'm not going to complain! ;)
