MAIN FEATURES
SIMMONS SOUND LIBRARY
The SD1200 features the Simmons Signature Sound Library, containing
the most sought-after acoustic drums, world percussion instruments,
and classic Simmons electronic drums. In addition, an inspiring
collection of unique new sounds have been created, not found in
other electronic drum kits.
USER SAMPLE MEMORY
You can also load your own sounds (.wav files) for maximum flexibility
and creativity. 28MB of the waveform memory is reserved for this.
VARIABLE ATTACK RESPONSE
Sounds created for the SD1200 were designed to give the player a
realistic sonic response that is appropriately different each time you
strike a drum or cymbal on the kit. VAR technology includes variations
as you hit the pad harder, multiple samples to reduce the “machine-
gun effect,” stereo samples and long, natural decay times.
SYNTHESIS PER SOUND
Sound design controls are built-in, including a 12dB / octave low
pass filter with variable cutoff and resonance, +/– octave pitch shifts,
independent velocity control of filter cutoff, resonance pitch shift, and
envelope length. Up to 23 programmable drum sounds are available in
each kit (19 in the standard kit, 23 in the optional expanded kit).
TENSIONABLE MESH DRUM HEADS
The new mesh drum design allows the user to customize the surface
tension of the drumhead to fit your own playing preferences, and give
a more realistic and responsive surface.
BLUETOOTH WIRELESS MIDI
A built-in Bluetooth transmitter/receiver allows the unit to send and
receive MIDI data. Play computer, smartphone, or tablet apps from
your drum kit. It also works with the Simmons Advanced iOS app,
which adds sound editing, kit selection, and play-along features.
AUDIO OUTPUTS AND INPUTS
Stereo headphone and line outputs allow you to hear the Simmons kit
via your headphones, powered speakers, mixer or other audio setup.
The Aux Input allows you to connect your phone, MP3 or other audio
source, so its audio can be heard along with the module sounds at the
module’s audio outputs.
EXPANDABLE
The SD1200 is expandable to a 10 piece kit—snare, kick, 4 toms,
hi-hat, ride cymbal, and 2 crash cymbals—with the Simmons SD1200
expansion pack.
