Re: Buying my first Simmons kit - Question

2004-03-01 by angeyoda

HI,
if you want a SIMMONS, a sampler & some Eqs possibilities...?
why not finding an SDX (the famous SImmons sampler with some 
incredible analogic filters in it ...16 outputs & inputs ...more a 
SPM8:2 for mixing ???

Cheers !
Patrice.
