Absolutely Loving my SDS400

Absolutely Loving my SDS400

2010-12-04 by bobsvitilla

I have had my unit for just a short bit, but long enough to get it fully integrated into what I am trying to do.  The way it responds to audio triggers is a dream.  I am mainly triggering it from an SCI drumtraks sometimes one channel triggered by something else.  I have been using two channels for kick and snare.  Mixed back with the sample audio from the drumtraks has given some satisfying results.  The run generator is great fun and yielded some pleasant surprises.  The other channel I use to sweeten a HH, for sub-bass, or for live tweaking.  Next, I am going to try to put together a monster kick with 3 or 4 channels.  Triggered by and mixed with the drumtraks, I should be able to tweak each channel to enhance each section of the kick, transient, snap, boom!
