Cool!

Will also check the 2Box review with curiousity  since I lend them a 
Synare pad in their battle against Roland about the mesh construction. :)

I finally had time to read it. Great stuff! I learned a few new things, 
like Vangelis using the SDS-III... Having one of the first 100 kits 
mentioned in the article made me really feel like I was part of history. 
*geekish smile*

I still keep all fingers crossed for Dave's work against GC. I block new 
subscribers to our list on a monthly basis when they turn to us to get 
help with their crappy chinese kits. Serves them right... >:)

(A few have joined to learn what Simmons really is about though!)

In next issue, can't we hear more about the design history of certain 
features, please? (i e run generator, second skin function etc)

Last note: Pollard deserves some credit for their zone to pitch 
implementation and Star for their strike zone design (Synare 1). The 
late 70's sure were interesting times in the music business!

now if only dave goes down the path of the other dave (smith, formerly of sequential circuits) and goes back to the all analogue path. releasing new versions of all the best bits of simmons design. 

second skin, run generator but also overtone function like on yamaha ed10 and pearl drum x. modulation functions like on pearl syncussion and syndrum. two oscillators per pad like synare.

i am going to stop now before i get too depressed. but with velocity, that would be my ideal drum synth. even if it were only 2 channel....
