Re: Simmons SDS8 brain, need to connect

2011-03-24 by Richard

Go to this link and buy one of these http://www.elby-designs.com/midi2sds/midi2sds-about.htm
If you go to the shop page, you can buy an external or "retrofit" version and mount it permanently inside the SDS8
I use the retrofit units mounted inside an SDS800 and a Maxim MDS1000 (Jap SDSV clone) and it works a treat.=)
