Alesis SR-16

As one of the most popular drum computers, the SR-16 is used by composers, studio owners and at gigs - for one simple reason: the 233 excellent sounding natural sounds, which are available both as unprocessed and as reverbed sample . The "Dynamic Articulation" function makes it possible to play the actually static sample with realistic sound changes (pitch, volume and tone) depending on the strength of the drum. The 50 preset Pattern that are in the device were played by real drummers and saved unquantized in the device. Many other drum computers use programmed Pattern that cannot get rid of the machine-like behavior. There are built-in variations and fill-ins for each Pattern 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 foot switches, 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 computer is the best partner in the studio and on stage and has been for over a decade.
