Re: [Simmons Drums] SDS V switches

2019-04-09 by jesper

I have that exact behaviour on my SDS-V hihat card. It's in my workshop 
and I'm digging into the switching mechanism. It started acting wierd 
and all presets lit up at the same time. Now it's stuck in factory mode.

There are three culprit ICs most likely to be the bad guys. If there is 
no piggyback board on the cards it's quite easy to get to them.
