Alesis SR-16

As one of the most popular drum machines, the SR-16 is used by composers, studio owners and in performances - for the simple reason: the 233 great-sounding natural sounds, which are available as both unprocessed and reverbed samples. The "Dynamic Articulation" function makes it possible to play the actually static sample with realistic sound changes (pitch, volume and tone) depending on the velocity. The 50 preset patterns that are in the device were recorded by real drummers and saved unquantized in the device. Many other drum machines use programmed patterns that cannot get rid of the machine-like behavior. Each pattern has built-in variations and fill-ins to create complete arrangements. Of course, you can create and save your own patterns, fills and variations. The SR 16 is fully MIDI controllable, supports the connection of footswitches, is flexible and easy to program and has 12 velocity-sensitive pads. The simple operation optimally supports the creative process. Arranging complete drum parts for a song can be done in just a few minutes. The SR16 drum machine is the best partner in the studio and on stage and has been for over a decade.
