Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi Andy, that sounds interesting. I have also already planned to
realize something like a "native " simmons VST plugin. At this state
it is only planned, that means that I downloaded the VST SDK from the
Steinberg developper area. Are you planning to develop ,ore or less a
sample player or are you going to implement the entire analog filters?
