listen to SDS-2 and ClapTrap

2006-10-04 by jesper@electronic-obsession.se

Hi!

Enjoy etc. I finally got around to mp3 these tests.

Simmons MusicAids ClapTrap. Trigged by it's own autotrig and I'm twisting 
and turning everything. Dry recording...

Simmons SDS-2. The one and only. Once owned by Stephen Morris of Joy 
Division/New Order. Intro is a short flavour of the horrific "factory 
presets" but later it's me twisting those knobs. Sequenced in Cubase. Dry 
recording.

For those interested in other drum gear I made two other oddities today;

ADM-5 from SEAK. Tjechoslovakian drum synth. I twist the knobs and flip the 
switches. Sequenced in Cubase, dry recording.

Tangerine Dream's old drummer EPU, designed by Herr Kn\ufffdttel 1977. Later 
joined by Accessit Great British Spring. No twisting since it's a preset 
machine, but sequenced in Cubase.

And if this got your juices flowing... the SEAK is for sale! ;)

electronically yours, jesper
