It sure is ugly. Maybe he thought that since all drummers are morons 
they would feed weird stuff through the output or something...
One of the caps was slightly loose from the pcb resulting in bad 
connection. together with broken pcb traces it was the reason for 
everything. Three fly-wires later and everything kicks again.

I put Landscape on the record player and tweaked some sounds on the 
SDS-III, hooked up my bass amplifier and started hitting the pads. First 
real test with just drums and no sequencer involved. My conclusion is 
not just that it's (still) amazing, it's also not as bad when it comes 
to pad crosstalk as rumour has it.

And... the run generator is one really cool feature!
