I would not convert the signal level down to -10. No need to do that....

from WIKI ( and manual ) :
Outputs were balanced XLRs for live and studio applications (pins 1 & 2
ground, pin 3 hot), however the XLR pad input wiring on the SDS-V was
unconventional - the User Manual states that pin 2 is hot and pins 1 & 3 are
ground. Each module also had a 1/4" jack trigger input allowing triggering
from various sources including the SDS-6 and even audio (for example from a
drum machine).
so, the US pin 2 scheme wouldn't work too well.
i suggest:
1, open up the back panel and flip pins 2/3 where needed to make it US
proper pinout.
2, do a pin 3 to tip cable ( ignoring level matching )
3, or get a level matching interface that can unbalance it for you ( +4 XLR
to -10 1/4" )
I've been meaning to flip my SDSV pins for a while.
there's some info here:

Hi,
I have a Simmons SDSV drum brain that I'm trying to use with my eurorack
setup. Basically, I just need to make a cable that is XLR to 1/8" mono
(Simmons SDSV Left, Right, or Mix out) and I'm a little stuck. I already
tried bridging the 1 and 3 pins on an XLR to ground and connecting the 2 pin
to the tip, but it didn't work.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
