Hi list,
it's not just you, so don't take it personally in that sense. From time
to time here are people wanting info without sharing experiences etc.
Sometimes it ends with rudeness and flaming and a few times I've kicked
members from the list...
Regarding the SDS-6 I think you should _never_ touch anything inside
anything without knowing what you're doing. So no, it's not an easy fix
in that sense of the word. Some mods on old gear are easy (editing
triggering levels as an example) and some are hard (editing digital code
etc).
Good news if the fix is simple. I have no SDS-6 but would imagine many
more would be converted to midi if it was that easy.
I let the money quote pass 'cause I wasn't sure what you guys meant.
Anyway, glad to hear you got your answer. Don't fry the SDS-6 while
operating on it.
