Enjoyed this! Particularly the Dub / IDM demo and the Make Noise experiments. It has a lot in common with the original SDS-3 that I have but is more refined. For example, the "click" is called "impact" on the SDS-3 but does the same thing, but the pitch doubles up as the noise filter and the ranges don't line up well, so that you either have a very high pitched tone with good noise or a low pitched tone with noise that's too heavily filtered. Looks like they sorted that out with the later models like this. It also has the exact same white power switch too! The things that really make a difference on the original 3 are an LFO that goes into the audio range for all sorts of FM and a sample and hold (called "run") that creates variation in pitch over time. Seems that was no longer applicable by this point. Very interesting to see a breakdown of a later model because it's so familar, but Dave Simmons & co obviously got better at it with the SDS-V onwards. Thanks for doing this.

I was a bit disappointed at first that there is no pitch modulation of those but it’s a very fun machine anyway.

One of the best demo videos Ive seen (to my taste). I was on the fence about buying one and now Im going to! Thank you.

[@Stazma]

Classic mid 80's reggae drum sound made famous by Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare

[@Stazma]

Yes indeed, it’s a good instrument for dub sound when you put a delay of it.

[@baddriddimworkshop]

it's smaller than i thought.

[@Stazma]

Not too big not too small ;-)

[@baddriddimworkshop]

@@Stazmai like cold war submarine style faceplates... HUDGE (and i'm buildfing an antonus 2600 new version in original 100% size soon: perfect size !). but yeah the simmons is at a good size for sequencing at the desktop i agree...

[@Stazma]

@@baddriddimworkshopIt's been ages I want to do another video with it. Need to get this started soon hehehe.

[@kalashnicore47]

Why not just use the sequencer in?

[@Stazma]

There's no sequencer in this thing, it's suposed to played with pads. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIHQd3epqbd4nq8si=Eb5-BkQyxyyP-UmI
