SDSV & SDX part deux

SDSV & SDX part deux

2003-12-02 by quiquebucho

Hey all, 

Thanks for all your thoughtful responses. Like some of you said, yes 
I could sample, but to me I'd lose a little bit of response, analog 
sound and also immediate playability. Yes I could get a MTM, I've had 
one and another is on the way. The Kenton kits as one suggested is a 
good way too, albeit more cost involved. I was just hoping that 
something else could be done without mod-ding the V. I realise 15V is 
a bit much to try and get from a regular piezo pad. I didn't want to 
have to keep this new MTM if I didn't have to. Seemed simple to me, 
but not so much. SDX is a beast definitely, but the 5, 7, 3, 1, 8 all 
have their own nuances and w/o MIDI I guess I have to play them all 
on their own. More thoughts??
