now if only dave goes down the path of the other dave (smith, formerly of sequential circuits) and goes back to the all analogue path. releasing new versions of all the best bits of simmons design.
second skin, run generator but also overtone function like on yamaha ed10 and pearl drum x. modulation functions like on pearl syncussion and syndrum. two oscillators per pad like synare.
i am going to stop now before i get too depressed. but with velocity, that would be my ideal drum synth. even if it were only 2 channel....
