Subject: SV: [Simmons Drums] FS: MusicAid SDS-IV

From: KW <memtechlist@...>

i'm sure the bass is heavy on this sds4. i forgot to tell you i ment the high frequencies. sometimes the sds4 sounds near a Juno106.

for an example between 00'20'' - 00'22'' the  high pitched attack of the bass reacts very similar to the Juno106. i hope you understand better now what i meat with "glassy" 

i'm sure it has nothing to do with soundcard quantisation of high frequencies on your laptop, it should manage these events ;=)

cheers....

The lack of "oumph!" is due to the fact that this is fed straight into a
lousy AD-converter in an old laptop. If you, in addition to this, listen
through crappy PC-speakers it gets even worse.

In a decent studio environment it sure can give you bass below hearing
range if you like. Once I almost turned the cones of the speakers inside
out when thinking the synth was broken. It resulted in a poorly
tightened rack blind coming loose and smashing a glass of wine all over
my mixer. :S

Try to do that with something oldschool digital... :D
