  1. The SDS-2? First I'd heard of it. http://www.simmons.synth.net says it's a one-off?

    I do remember the Simmons Suitcase being used in the Perfect Kiss video - maybe that's what they're referring to?

  2. I believe it's a typo. It was most likely a Simmons SDS IV (two-channel drum synthesizer).

    Afaik they used the Simmons suitcase with a SDSV. I reckon it's the missing instrument in that equipment list.

  4. Had. This is the 1985 list.

    And I'm pretty sure they were running 2x Voyetra 8s. But yeah, at one point in the mid 1990s, I had more 1980s gear than most bands in the 80s...

    Parenthood, marriage, and satisfaction with the laptop life have ended those days, alas.

  5. They actually had 3x Voyetra's: one to be sequenced, one for Gillian to play live, and one as backup. Their main sequencer at the time (mid '80s) was a Yamaha QX-1.
