Hi Group,

Is there any such thing as an adequate sequencer for the SDS-V other than the MTM ?

Ideally one that you could record with from pads and that would record the triggers of course, but also velocity and that could be clocked externally.

I found this idea here:

Simmons SDSV with MFB SEQ-01

Simmons SDSV with MFB SEQ-01

If you own a Simmons SDSV drumbrain and asking yourself what to do with some of the free module slots (if any), heres the idea how to fill it: Use a MFB SEQ-01 ...

but as far as I know the MFB SEQ-1 supplies only Accent (that is 2 levels of voltages) not all the voltage range between 0V & 1,5V (1,5V being the maximum voltage via the Pads inputs right ?)

I also heard about connecting each SDS module input to a separate output of a Roland TR-707 for example, but I believe the TR-707 has only accents too (I'll have to check on that), so no velocity.

So what nice solution did you guys find for this job ?

Hi,

there is a dedicated SDS V sequencer that is the SDS-6 ;-) It has dynamic trigger programming (7 steps as far as I remember).

Also I’m using a couple of the Elby Designs / Ken Stone Midi 2SDS(X) modules for the Eurorack.

You can play them dynamic over Midi and it has 8 programmable outputs.

Works fine with all the drum synths that I have and the SDS.

There’s also the Tama TSQ-1000 trigger sequencer, but it’s quite hard to find.

Best,

Thomas

I'd say the SDS-6 is _theee_ sequencer for the SDS-V. But it's large,
rare and not always easy to combine with more modern equipment. The MTM
is not a sequencer, it's a converter.

I think the SDS-6 does this. But I'll pass that on to owners of it...

Basically yes, or use the sequencer input and hotter signals.

Prior to getting an MTM I sometimes used auxes from a Kenton converter
if I wanted velocity sensitivity. But since buying the MTM (which I
never regretted) I use that (in combination with Cubase) for everything
you describe you want to do.
