"Up for sale is a very rare Pollard Syndrum Quad w/ Original Pedal and Drum Pads. The Synthesizer and pads both work great. All channels are working great except the "Snare 1" setting on each channel is inaudible. The "Snare 1" is supposed to be a quieter, shorter snare than "Snare 2." "Snare 2" works great on each channel and is controlled by the sustain slider underneath of it. The Quad is also in great cosmetic condition, with only minor paint chips here and there. See pics for details. The slider caps have all been replaced with Arp-style rubber ones. (the original slider caps fell off a long time ago.) Included in this auction is:
1 Pollard Syndrum Quad Drum Synth4 Syndrum Drum pads
1 Syndrum Expression Pedal
1 Breakout cable to connect the pads to the Brain
1 Power Cable
I will run through the features of each of the 4 identical voices here since there is not much information on these on the internet:
Sensitivity knob - controls how hard you have to hit the drum pad to trigger the voice
Volume Slider - Controls Overall volume of Voice
Tone Sustain Slider - Controls how long the note sustains
Pedal On/Off Switch- This enables the pedal to control the voice (the pedal has 2 parts, a pitch control and a kill switch)
Snare Switch - Selects between "Snare 2" "Snare 1" and "Off" (as I said Snare 1 doesn't seem to be working)
Snare Sustain Slider - Controls how long the "Snare 2" sound sustains
Bend Up/Off/Down Switch - Will pitch bend the note up or downRange Slider - Controls how long far the pitch will bend
Vibrato Square/Triangle/Ramp Switch - Selects the LFO Waveform
Vibrato Rate Slider - Controls LFO Speed (it can go very fast to achieve metallic like sounds)
Vibrato Spread Slider - Controls the LFO Depth on the pitch of the noteTune Square/Triangle/Sine Switch - Selects the Oscillator Waveform
Tune Coarse Slider - Tunes the pitch of the Oscillator
Tune Fine Slider- Tunes the pitch of the oscillator in smaller increment
All of these functions are repeated on each of the 4 voices for total analog mayhem."
