The “Deutsches Museum<\/a>” in Munich\/Germany is for sure Germany’s most important museum for technical innovations (followed by Simmonsmuseum… :-)). When I was a child, I remember several visits where I was fascinated by exhibits like aircrafts, moon vehicals, etc… . I cannot deny that recently I was pretty astonished to hear that even the SDSV made it there<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The board right in front of the SDSV says:
\n“In 1979, Dave Simmons invented the first drum synthesizer. Series production of this synthesiser began in 1980. This instrument was played like an acoustic drum, but offered much bigger volume and differentiation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks to its outstanding sound quality, this instrument was very high in demand. The small company rapidly grew to become the most important manufacturer of electric drums in the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sounds were produced by various generators and passed through an adjustable, voltage-controlled filter. Depending on how hard the drum was hit, an amplifier controlled the output signal and intensity. <\/em><\/p>\n

5 channel drum synthesiser
\nbass, snare and 3 tom modules
\ncould be expanded to 7 modules<\/em>”<\/p>\n
