Hello James, I'm Tom, also a new member of the group.
I have a set of schematics, waveform flowcharts and service notes for my SDS-III, the SDS-IV (also called the 'Combo' by Musicaid) is a 2 channel version without the 'special effects' channel, this info may be of some use to you.

I got the documents from Dave Simmons back in 1979, most of it is hand drawn, probably by the Guru himself !
My original docs. were photocopies which were done on that old photocopy paper that deteriorates with age, but I have scanned and enhanced them and everything is legible.

The docs. exist as 7 jpegs totalling approx. 9 megs.
If there is enough interest in these ancient scriptures I will upload them to the 'files' area or,
I can email the individual files to you.
Let me know.
Tom.
ps. in case anyone hasn't spotted it, there is an SDS-III for sale on eBay (not mine).

That would be great if you could mail them to me as individual files .
The Only Schematics I can offer the group is a poor (or incomplete !)
set for the SDS 9 . If anyone wants I'll scan what I have .
Thanks for your help and information on the SDS IV , I'll give an
update on my progress .

All the best

Hi James,

I couldn't upload the SDS 3 files to the user group 'files' area (no room
left)
so I have put them on my web site - www.tomdw.com

Just click on the SIMMONS drum to bring up my 'SIMMONS stuff' page then
either view or 'save target as' to download,
let me know if you have any problems and please let me know what you think
of the documentation.

I am sure you will find the documentation very useful, I certainly did

Best Regards

Tom.

Interesting, spot the moog ladder filter :-)

> I am sure you will find the documentation very useful, I certainly did

I was thinking about starting a simmons webpage on my server, something like
'Www.Simmons.Synth.net' ?
Perhaps we could use these to start, if you don't mind.

Paul

I certainly don't mind Paul, it sounds like a good idea.
Tom.

Welcome James, we're not many SDS-IV here...

You can't, but it's very basic on the inside though sounding fantastic. One
of my channels were broken and it was quite easily fixed. All components are
standard stuff...

So it isn't _your_ SDS-IV? Or?

Please share! I had trouble enough guessing when fixing mine. And if all
goes according to plans I'll have another SDS-IV and also a SDS-III in a few
weeks...

Cool gear you have there and thanks a lot for the schematics!

As a Simmons addict (primarily pre-digital stuff) I'm curious about your
SDS-V. Fully loaded? bass, snare, 3xtom, cymbal and hihat or some other
configuration?

electronically yours, jesper - with SDS-1 (e-prom one, not original
prototype), SDS-2 (oh yes, the only one!), SDS-IV, SDS-V, TMI, EPB

Hi Tom , Jesper & List ,

Firstly a big thanks to tom for scanning and hosting the SDS III
Schematics , Thanks :-) .
There does look to be some similarity between the SDS III and the SDS
IV , what a shocker a Moog style filter ! .
I'll take some pics when it's finished and send them to you Tom to pop
on your site ( if that's OK with you ?).
The SDS IV does belong to a customer who loves it to bits .

I also noticed that you have a TMI spot on your page ... do you what a
manual for that ?.
Many thanks
James

Hi James!

If noone else has one, I've got a severly battered user manual for the
TMI... All pages were stuck due to moist etc from a decade in a basement. I
managed to get it readable, but it's not pretty...

Hi Jesper

I am pleased you found the SDS-3 info useful.
My SDS-V is the standard config. without the cymbal and hihat modules (I
used pictures from E&MM magazine
on my web site).

Before I got my SDS-V, I hired a full system for a few weeks and I found the
cymbals and hihats to be a
bit gimmicky (ok for 'I just called to say I love you') pity, everyone's
after them now.

I have user manuals for all of my Simmons gear including the TMI, I can
make this available for Paul's site if you like ?

James, your message was a little unclear, were you wanting or offering a
TMI manual ?

Regards
Tom.
