I’d like to get the sound of Peart’s electronic kit on Grace
under Pressure.

This is very close to my ears... but it is 32 bit and would need to bridged to work in 64 bit hosts. This one is $15 USD

Also the Arturia Spark has an Simmons Emulation which is pretty good too. Spark is $150.

Arturia also sells Spark VDM which includes the Simmons emulation for $99.00. You can find it here and there is an audio demo if you scroll to it.

I own the PolyAna and this thing is absolutely amazing! Sure...can make drums with it.

This is also great:
AudioDamage / Axon2

And absolutely dope as a pure synthesized drum machine is this baby:
SONIC CHARGE / Mircotonic
Yea isn't it great? I recently made a demo of the FX version that comes with Polyana. This is Polyana FX processing electric guitar. https://soundcloud.com/smh2600/admiral- ... b-on-strat

Sorry no drum demos yet. I will try to work on one.

Simplest and best way to get THE Simmons sound is... using a Simmons. My experience as a Simmons owner :hihi:

I was programming a Simmons-like drum sound on a normal subtractive synth today. But it seems I have to sign up with a service like SoundCloud in order to post it here, right? No built-in audio player on KVR?

If I had a website of my own... :)

Let's hear them.
Although, what is the point when they are not Simmons sounds in a Simmons thread?

Again: As close as possible is Aly James Lab VSDS-X Simmons emu for Mac and PC (both 64Bit now).

I bought it and find it phenomenal. :tu:
