Ive never looked inside a SDS8,  but in the SDS5 each voice card has little trimmers to set the factory sound (aside from the 3 channels on the front) ,  you can make the factory sound to be whatever you want it to be.  are there trimmers inside the sds8?

  Well, it *does* make some sounds, but only the tone, not the noise 
  component. Plus amp output is *very* noisy, one side only, and quiet at 
  that. Kick drum preset comes out as a low quiet "crack...le", preset 
  snare is inaudible but switch to "user" and you can get the tone at 
  least. Preset toms are a *very* low pitched short quiet "bloh" sound.

  If I wasn't a grown up I'd be having a cry about now...mmmmwaaaaaaaH!
