Really want to like this even though I’m not into buying a digital sample player ever again.

 

Anyone knowif Dave’s role are more than marketing consultant? The way he is instructed totalk in that video I get the feeling it’s not much else.

 

To me thatvideo fail. First shoving off fat analog legacy products and then introducewhat seems to be a sample player with descriptions of some fancy attack parameters. If it has avirtual or analog sound engine they probably had told us very early on in thevideo and played some interesting new percussive sounds.

 

Agree withyou Jesper, the product naming will not do much to help Simmons I’m afraid. Boththe SD and 2000 naming have negative association to them.
