Sounds good - thanks! ;)

High number on that one BTW, does anybody know how many were made? I know my 
copy (no 008) is certainly not one of the last.

Anyone here who snatched the 6 card SDS-V on aussie Ebay yesterday? (incl. 
cymbal card)

electronically yours, jesper

Hey guys,
I snatched the analogue Clap Trap, but not for Euro 3,50.- ;-)
Got it for a reasonable and very good price ! Serial HC 265.
The Simmons book says, that they sold enought to go for the SDS V, so I  
guess
they sold a couple of hundreds of the first two versions.
I also got the Simmons SDS V 00002 that was on ebay UK some time  
ago...the one
for GBP 5000.- !!!!! Sure I didn´t pay that amount, but got it for GBP  
500.-.
I guess that´s ok for a Musicaid SDS V with red knobs, the analogue  
Hihat module and a
different sound to my other regular SDS V :-))))
The only drumsynths I´m looking for now are the SDS-3 and the ULT-Sound  
DS-4 .
I have a lot of stuff for possible trade or would also buy.

Best

Aha, that's you! So at least Jesper and me can be happy that these two
items have moved to a loving home ;-)

Got it for a reasonable and very good price ! Serial HC 265.
The Simmons book says, that they sold enought to go for the SDS V, so I
guess
they sold a couple of hundreds of the first two versions.

Cool... I wonder how many survived... 008 sure did as well as 007 since I 
know that owner too...

for GBP
500.-. I guess that\ufffds ok for a Musicaid SDS V with red knobs, the analogue
Hihat module and a different sound to my other regular SDS V :-))))

I used to own one with Musicaid logos and red buttons on some of the 
modules. I never heard any difference though (apart from the fact that 
they're analogue that is). But the HH is part digital since the prom 
contains noise, or am I mistaking?

DS-4, is that any cool. All the Ultimate Sounds stuff I've run into has been 
very disappointing...

> I have a lot of stuff for possible trade or would also buy.

Buy my Clavia setup then (as advertised in separate mail)! ;)

A frienf of mine owns the second edition analogue Clap Trap and that´s 
the only
other one I´ve seen. Mine is the first edition one.

I also own the digital hihat with the extra PCB with the ROM
on, BUT the Musicaid one uses the analogue circuit to produce the hihat 
sound.
It sounds more like ringmodulated or probably the SSM-Chip Resonance is 
modulated
by a hispeed LFO (FM).  It might sound different due to some inside 
tweaking
by it´s former owner, but I think the snare is a bit harsher and has 
more click.

The DS-4 is more like the Polard Syndrum (I own the 478 with original 
box and all accessories)
but with more features. Sounds great.

I´m more into the analogue stuff (except for digital Simmons of course 
;-)
But if you will let go a SDS-3 I´ll take it ;-)
