Jesper,
So, I'm surprised. I found it in the archive here.
Tell me more about it, please?

"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! ;)"
