Hi again,
sorry I'm just discovering messages one after ones ...
Well about the SDX, if someone is definitely thinking seriously to clone it
, I'll have some request too...but the main one is to keep this incredible
grain !!!
Ten years ago, I proposed the idea to Dave to devellop a plug-in version but
keeping a dedicated soundcard that would keep the dynamic & the analogic
/digital grain...unfortunetaly soundunit had to close a bit after this
...but he seemed quite intersted in the concept , he simply didn't have the
money to do it ...
I think it could be a good beginning ...
I think the big thing is that ; keeping a software Mac or PC based for the
samples storage,editing & library, a triggering interface that allows Zones
& especially that converters & filters quality ...
After let's talk about the software & detailed requests...
the pads will have to be Mesheads ones for the expanded dynamic it gives ...
but Waow ; it's a big big work !!!
As I said , good luck & let me know !!!
Patrice.
PS therefore Ithink that the most urgent to clone (?) in SImmons products is
the less reliable one ; the SDS7 !!! a wonderful sound for so many angers to
have lost the memories ... speak soon ...
