synthesisers and playtheirvoices from the pads. You can also use MIDI real
time recorders/sequencers to record your playing and then playback the SDS
9 exactly as you played it.
Another interesting feature of the SDS 9 is its' built in programmable echo.
This programmable effect can be used for single 'slap back' echo or for long
repeating echoes to produce stunningly unique rhythmic-ic-ic patterns and
eff-eff-eff-ects-ects.
We have done a lot of work using the latest high technology and computer
aided design tools to develop the SDS 9 - a new instrument, using new
voicing techniques and new materials to give you everything any acoustic kit
has to offer and much more besides - the kit that's destined to add a whole
new dimension to your art.
All of us at SIMMONS hope that you enjoy the use of your SDS 9 and that
it gives you the edge.
