"This unit has been meticulously refurbished and is working like new again and better than the rest.

In additional to sorting out any problems, we paid our tech to make this unit better than others on the market, a process that took a whopping 30 hours of skilled vintage synth tech time, plus parts costs.

Fully disassembled and cleaned inside and out
Replaced electrolytic capacitors in power supply
Resoldered regulators
Replaced all RAM (6166 x 10)
Installed new battery
Reloaded sounds off cartridge to first 80 kit banks
Cleaned all switch contacts
Replaced many IC sockets
There was a broken XLR connector, so we had to painstakingly remove the original rivets to remove the circuit board, replace the connector, and then Instal new rivets for 13 female XLR connectors - a time consuming PITA
Cleaned and lubed all pots

This unit is intentionally priced at what we believe to be top market value because of the big investment of time, love and money to make it better than others you may find.

Boring Systematic Testing of Simmons SDS7 drum synth modules / insomnia cure

video upload by tonetweakers

"When you deal in vintage synths, attention to detail is essential, because every physical control or electronic component has the potential to be problematic. So we test our gear multiple times systematically over an extended period (with a long burn in test) to make sure we don’t overlook anything. Many of our so called competitors dont, which is why we have many loyal customers. In this video, we are systematically testing the last of 8 Simmons SDS7 modules. Its a boring but necessary process. Anyone familiar with sds7 editing knows that one push of the wrong button and the sound you were editing is erased and you’ve gotta start over. This only happened once while testing this set of modules. 😂

Thanks for watching!

"We often have just the synth section for sale. This sale is for the whole kit - it includes the synth brain with 6 modules - bass, snare, tom 1, tom 2, tom 3 and hi hat - program selector pad, 5 small drum pads, 1 large kick drum pad, miscellaneous cables, and carrying bags that fit all pieces other than the brain.

This unit was tested when purchased and is in perfect working order with the exception of the selector pad - the 2 and 4 columns don't seem to be working. Since most people use these in the studio and kit selection is also easy using the data knob, we were planning on selling it the way it is. However, if it's a deal-breaker, let us know and we can have our tech investigate."

”A new generation of modules has been produced to further increase the versatility of the SDS 7. In these modules, the analog section has been replaced with a second digital section, there are separate envelopes for each digital sound as well as a third for the noise generator.

The second sample has a programmable threshold control which allows for second sample to sound at a pre-determined dynamic from the pad, and the click circuit has been re-designed to accent the start of the digital sound, I.E. The ‘click’ part of a bass drum. So for the first time the two distinct parts of a sampled drum sound are controllable. Combined with the filter controls and separate ‘bend’ controls for each sample. This module is the most versatile yet, and places Simmons once again at the fore of multi sample synthesis for percussion.”

“Primarily designed to offer the SDS 7 owner the flexibility of the multi sampled approach for the SDS 9 bass and snare drum, the modules can of course be used for any sampled sounds.”
