Hi Group!

Great to see a small but at least alive place for us Simmons lovers... I live in Sweden and in my rack you find a six-card version SDS-V (modified to midicontrol via a Kenton Pro-4) and a TMI. I used to own a MTX-9 as well but I found that far too boring to keep...

The drums then? Five black hexapads with normal outs and a white bass hexapad...

I saw your great effort at collecting pdf's of the manuals. It's going slow too :( I could upload my TMI manual, but it's hard to read since the former owner had stored the TMI + manual in a basement causing the pages to stick together. I've opened the manual with the help of steam etc but it still smells like a damp basement...

Anyway - I'll jump into this group with two questions;

1. A manual and/or schematics for the SDS-V would be nice... ;)
2. I want to use the individual outs of the SDS-V but this far I only get a much weaker signal than from the master out jacks... why? (I use xlr-phono contacts)

My studio can be seen at my homepage (link below).

electronically yours, jesper
