SIMMONS SDSV 80 年代 Drum Brain。
Simmons 80 年代 Drums SDSV，一款传奇的模拟鼓合成器，现已推出 V2 版本。
Simmons 六边形电子鼓在 80 年代的无数唱片和现场演出中随处可见，Genesis、King Crimson、Jean Michel Jarre、Prince、Herbie Hancock、Pink Floyd 等众多艺术家和乐队都曾使用过这款鼓。
SDSV 模块通常以懒散的方式用于产生迪斯科风格的 pewww pewww tom 音色，但它可以产生各种音色。它拥有出色的冲击力和灵敏度。
SDSV 的继任者 SDS7 添加了数字低保真采样和附加功能，例如弯曲方向或 FM 调制，从而可以产生更广泛的音色。
SDSV 是一款历史悠久的模拟设备，在 80 年代的音乐中占有一席之地，至今仍被用作秘密武器、鼓层或特定音乐流派的核心部分。
这种鼓脑仅生产了约5000个，所以别指望能轻易找到价格低廉的鼓脑。
由于市面上没有针对这款传奇鼓脑的精准VST软件……
我不得不制作VSDSX，一个完美的重现，并添加了海量新功能！这是为了致敬Dave Simmons的愿景，也为了全世界所有的鼓手。
VSDSX，全称Virtual Simmons Drum System Extended，提供最接近真实的体验。对于每个音色，或者说它的名字（模块），它都精确模拟了模拟声音的生成、内部电路的调音、触发力度灵敏度，所有细节都能在专用手册中找到解释。
对于它的混合音色（HIHAT、CYMBAL、PROM和CLAP是模拟/数字的混合），时钟和计数器以可变采样率读取EPROM存储器，并进行实时完美模拟。
它模拟了SSM2044滤波器，可以对内部控制电压、触发波形和VCA响应进行微调控制。它还模拟了模块在被打击垫或音序器触发时的反应……无论您使用真实的鼓触发检测还是钢琴卷帘式作曲，MIDI 力度都会显著改变合成的声音。
VSDSX 为您的 DAW 提供多输出功能，将为您带来传奇般的强大模拟冲击力！最重要的是，两个声音可以加载您自己的外部 EPROM 图像数据（数字样本），就像在真正的 SDS1（基于 EPROM）打击垫上一样……提供全新的声音。
VSDSX 现已推出 2.3 版本，其中包括完美模拟的 Simmons Digital ClapTrap 模块，这是一个结合了可变采样率数字源和音调模拟噪声的拍手合成器，该设备的原始功能是永远不会产生两次相同的声音。虽然它集成在 VSDSX 中，但有一个专用的 ClapTrap 2.0 插件，它包含模拟和数字模型、立体声扩展、半音（每个音符）触发器、原始硬件滤波器、EPROM 替换功能以及更多控制功能（例如双模式和模拟拍手生成电路调音），可单独购买。
VSDSX 本身就提供了强大的合成鼓音色，也可以高效地用于鼓的分层。参数自动化和调制功能可以让它成为一个疯狂的创意音源。
将它与 VPROM 一起用于分层，可以产生一种混合模拟和早期数字的、令人讨厌的 funky 音色！
VSDSX 2.0 添加了完美重现的 ClapTrap 音色（基于数字 MK3 模型），您可以使用扩展的 ClapTrap 2.0 插件进行更深入的探索，该插件包含所有模型（模拟 MK1、2 和 3）以及更多选项。
The SIMMONS SDSV 80s Drum Brain.
Simmons 80s Drums SDSV An analog drum synth legend now in V2.
The Simmons hexagonal shaped Electronic drums were all over the place on countless records and live shows during the 80s , used by artists and bands like Genesis, King Crimson, Jean Michel Jarre, Prince, Herbie Hancock, Pink Floyd etc...
Often used in a lazy way to generate disco-esque pewww pewww tom sounds, the SDSV module could produced a wide range of sounds. It got great punch and sensitivity.
The SDSV successor called SDS7 added digital lo-fi samples and additional features such as bend direction or FM modulation as means for broader range of possible sounds.
The SDSV is a historical analog gear that has a place in the sound of the 80s and is still used today as secret weapon, drum layering or central part for genre defined music.
Only around 5000 of these drum brains where produced so don't count on finding a working one easily and for cheap.
As there were no accurate VST for this legend out there...
I had to make VSDSX, a perfect recreation with tons of added new features! this is dedicated to Dave Simmons's vision and to all drummers in the world.
VSDSX, which stands for Virtual Simmons Drum System Extended, provides the closest experience to the real thing, for each voice or as it was called (module) it models accurately the analog sound generation, internal circuitry tuning, trigger velocity sensitivity and all the details you can find explained inside the dedicated manual.
For its hybrid voices (HIHAT, CYMBAL, PROM & CLAP are a mix of analog/digital) clocks and counters reading EPROM memory at variable sample rate are perfectly emulated in realtime.
It models the SSM2044 filters offering fine tuning control over internal control voltages, trigger shapes, and VCA response. It also emulates how the module will react if triggered with pads or sequencer...MIDI velocity will change the synthesized sound drastically whether you use real drums trigger detection or piano roll style composition.
Offering multi output capability for your DAW, VSDSX will give you that legendary powerful analog punch! On top of the cake, two voices can load your own external EPROM image data (digital sample) like on a real SDS1 (EPROM based) pad...offering a whole new range of sounds.
VSDSX is now on version 2.3 and features among other cool things a perfectly emulated Simmons Digital ClapTrap module, a clap synth which combines a variable sample rate digital source combined with pitched analog noise, an original feature of the unit was to never produce the same sound twice. Although it is integrated inside VSDSX a dedicated ClapTrap 2.0 plugin which includes both analog and digital models, stereo widening, chromatic (per note) trigger, original hardware filter, EPROM replacing capabilty and way more controls like dual mode and analog clap generation circuit tuning is available separately.
VSDSX provides a huge synthetic drum sound by itself and can also be used with great efficiency in drum layering. Parameters automation and modulation can turn this thing into a crazy an creative sound source
Using it for layering with VPROM can produce a nasty funky sound which combines analog and early digital!
While VSDSX 2.0 adds a perfectly recreated ClapTrap voice (based on the digital MK3 model) you can go deeper with the extended ClapTrap 2.0 plug-in which includes all models (analog MK1, 2 and 3) and way more options. |
