Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] Changing battery in SDS7 / sound issue

Hi Joey,
& as said Michael said...welcome to the club.

No SCSI at the back the SDS7 ...it's the memory card connection.

You 'll need to re open the filter before hearing any sound.
You 'll also need to set both analogic or digital levels back .
The "bend" has to get a sort of middle value to be neutral ...

I don't know any other way that your own hands & huuuge patience to
restore your kits ...

As we discussed recently, SDS7 are not able to swap their sounds
between several units as the settings will be quite different in each
brain.
So you might not loose your time by starting directly making some new
sounds...

hope that helps,

good luck,
Patrice.
