"Simmons SDS7 with eight cards (!)

- Each of the eight cards has a CEM3372. a CEM3340, and an original ROM

- Cards include: Bass, Tom, Tom, Tom, Snare, Hi Hat, Cymbal, Cymbal.

Sold as-is. The unit powers up and the brain looks to be clean but I can't get the machine to do much more. I am completely ignorant of the OS, which is a bit archaic, so that's not helping. Also, the unit is missing a few of the plastic hats/indicators that sit on the very top of the knob. The original plastic knobs are still there and the pots seem to work fine."

"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."

Simmons SDSV #800 Featuring Simmons MTM #656 Published on Sep 17, 2019

"Quick demo of Simmons SDSV #800 and MTM #656 in action."

via this auction

"Freshly restored Simmons MTM (MIDI / Trigger / CV interface) in excellent working and physical condition with new battery and OLED display.

These are incredibly rare and don't come up very often or in this condition. And, 35 years later, it's still the best way to control your vintage SDSV, SDS7 or other non-MIDI drum modules via MIDI. Especially if you have a Hi Hat module - as no other interface will allow you to control Hi Hat Open / Closed.

This would also pair perfectly with the fully loaded, freshly restored SDSV < SDS 5 > I have listed separately." [just posted]

”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.”

Simmons Clap Trap - Handclap synth - Rare Digital Analog Hybrid

via this auction

"The controls are - Clap, pitch and length (knob for each). This is the digital side - the sample is produced by a ceramic clip as found in other Simmons gear (SDS7, SDS9 and so on). Not the crazy ear splitting-ly crisp reproduction of todays standers. But a more smooth, full ranger sound from the dawn of "samples". On the analog side you have - Noise, pitch and length (knob for each). Soloed the Noise makes a nice snare sound. That brings us to the balance knob and Volume (also work as the on/off). You can 100% clap and 100% noise with a hard pan of the balance knob.The Auto, push button and Auto speed knob control a metronome that fires the unit at intervals. On the back it has inputs and outs for Foot pedal, Synth or it can be trigger by a 80's drum pad or even a sequencer (Simmons MTM works too. any gate will do). You can fire it with a push button on the top, the "trigger" button. Nice action on this button for live use (not hard to push or sticky). The Humaniser varies the pitch just a tiny bit every time you trigger the unit so you do not get "machine gun" effect. Unless you dig that effect, then turn it off to sound like a robot. Sounds amazing!"

"The Simmons SDSV is supposed to be the mother of all electronic drums as it has been the first one that had been produced in a noticable number (between 1981 and 1984). The characteristic hexagonal shaped drum pads conquered the stages all over the world at the beginning of the 80s. This movie gives you a slight impression about the capabilities of the SDSV"
