SDS-3 and the outputs

2010-12-05 by jesper

Hi list,

a friend has asked me to come up with a few patterns for one of his 
tracks. I dug out the SDS-3 since the controller part (read: Chroma) of 
my studio is lying in pieces on the living room floor and most power 
cords are unplugged.
I hooked the SDS-3 to it's pads and soon discovered that channel 1-3 
sends it's sound to separate output 1-3 while channel 4 sends its to mix 
output where channel 1-3 do not appear. Annoying when on headphones with 
the kids sleeping a floor below.
Is this a famous english "design" flaw or just loose wires in my unit? I 
cannot remember having experienced this before. On the other hand I 
might not have used all four channels at one time and therefor have 
missed it.

electronically yours, jesper
