*'''SY1 Syncussion'''- Released in 1979, this was the forerunner to the [[Simmons SDS-V]]. It offered two completely independent (and identical) channels which were typically triggered from two bongo-like drums fitted with transducers. They could be triggered from almost anything including an old synth with a gate output or, indeed, the trigger outputs of a drum machine. It was capable of producing electronic drum and percussion sounds and sound effects. Discontinued.
