Hi,

what happened to the promised SDS-III clone?

http://blog.simmonsmuseum.com/?p=735

I cannot find any more answers on Mode Machines homepage either. Did
they shelf it? Did Dave step in with a veto? Is it being reworked into
something else?

http://www.modemachines.com/

Michael, Wolfgang, Patrice, anyone?

Hi,

Best,

Hello Jesper,
I prepared all boards and circuitries for Mode Machines, they presented the 5 channel clone on the Musikmesse and then they went bankrupt. Once again people talking and promising. But several music friends warned me not to cooperate with Touched-by-Sound, I should have known better.
I made several hand made SDS 3s for friends, also SDS 4s are available and the ClapTrap MK2 (analogue). But I can only make few.
Best
Michael

Sad to hear that you got burnt... :( Since I have one of the original
units myself I wasn't too interested in the clone, but only interested
in the fact that such cool drummer was being cloned.

So the mode machines is a reconstructed company then? Since they're
still out there I mean. Always good to know if something pops up. The
TBS-story I know, but wasn't aware that they were the same people behind
the different companies.

Hi Jesper,

personnaly I have no information about it.
I might be wrong but I don't think Dave has been concerned by that.


Having Said that :

Happy New Yeaaaar :)
