Well, it ∗does∗ make some sounds, but only the tone, not the noise
component. Plus amp output is ∗very∗ noisy, one side only, and quiet at
that. Kick drum preset comes out as a low quiet "crack...le", preset
snare is inaudible but switch to "user" and you can get the tone at
least. Preset toms are a ∗very∗ low pitched short quiet "bloh" sound.

If I wasn't a grown up I'd be having a cry about now...mmmmwaaaaaaaH!

Ken.
