Comments about the sounds :
The Simmons sound is well known from the 80's. The SDS9 has 6 instruments, with Snare/rim which can be mixed together. The cool thing about this unit is the filters for the snare. It can be tweaked so they sound like strange analog-sounding squeals and wooshes, the filters are all analog as far as I can tell, so the knobs are infinitly adjustable, in other words tweaking is infinite. A tiny tweak makes a huge difference. I have had one on loan with no manual but the owner says he used to trigger other drum machines with midi. Sounds can be tweaked then stored in kits. The 3 toms can be tweaked and tuned quite low or hi with sweep tune up or down for some interesting boings and bwomps. The bass drum is not as flexible but a few fat ones can be teased out. Sampling detuning it probably sounds better. The preset kits are not that interesting. Program your own sounds for creative payback. There is a little door on the front where there are eproms for snares but where/if these are still available I have no idea.
Sounds to check out :
Definetly comes from tweaking the snare's VCF freq, pitch and resonance controls. Decay is quite long or very short. If you tweak it in real time there are some SCARY sounds coming out...bwip! BWEEP!! Beeeeuuwp! Byoop! One sound I created sounds like two bricks being scraped together ending with a bucket of coins being dropped on the floor! Another like Star Trek ship's phasers
