HI Paul there's one thing that you might be interestedto knoww if you didn't already read it ...
The SDS1 isn't the first product of Simmons ...
it's just a single programmable pad with an Eprom ...it has been built around 85 I think...
The real SDS 1 was the Simmons Drum Synthesizer that Dave made for the Drummer of his band (Dave was a pianist then) , before builting the SDS2 which was a 2 voices prototype (the happy owner is noone else than ....Jesper ...our analog specialist & follower ... ).if I remember well Dave was repairing some ARP synths at that time...
& Then Dave started a bigger production with the III, IV & V...
with the SDSV , the Novel started .... the V was firstly made under the Musicaid banner ...
& then Simmons Electronic arrived with the big destiny we all know ...
& so on ...Simmons Digital ....Sound Unit ....& today .
Bye for tonight,
patrice.
