Behringer has brought back a percussion synthesizer from the 1970s with updated connection capabilities for contemporary music production environments. The SDS-3 recreates circuitry from the Simmons SDS-3 while adding compatibility with current studio equipment.

The four-channel device generates percussive tones through analog processing and accepts external audio as trigger sources. Musicians can modify each of the four drum sections independently using parameters for tone height, sustain length, and frequency modulation alongside noise and attack components. A fifth channel dedicated to special effects provides additional sound manipulation through modulation controls. The front panel features 57 physical adjustments for immediate parameter changes during performance or recording sessions.

Connection methods span velocity-responsive analog trigger inputs alongside MIDI and USB protocols. The unit fits standard Eurorack mounting configurations and maintains an all-analog audio path from input through output stages. The manufacturer lists the SDS-3 at $249 for markets outside the United States.
