Downing Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:41:53 +0000 http://zoom-review.com/blog/alesis-sr16-drum-machine#comment-643 Here's the great SR16. Been around since 1990 and still sells well. Probably the most used drum machine of all time considering how long it's been in production. Pretty easy to use and has the added extra of being controlled by a foot pedal or two so you can switch between an A and B version of a beat and an A and B version of the fills at the end of each verse. (You'll need to buy the foot controllers - doesn't come with this purchase). There's loads of other revues out there if you search - but this and the boss range dominate the market in my opinion. At this price it's a great bit of kit to have and a good place to start if you've never tried drum machines before. Also check out the new SR18, just released April 2008, although twice the price is the downside for the extra drum set samples, more memory and bigger construction. I've got the SR18 and it's worth every panny - so the SR16 is a steal at this price - you just have to accept that the SR16 doesn't have the huge scope of it's bigger brother or basslines.

I should have at least taken the sounds off... Rating: 4 / 5 This is a great product. Easy to use and sounds great. I wish wouldn’t have sold mine. I should have at least taken the sounds off…

I'm a bit of a perfectionist.. Always trying to make my tracks sound as legit as possible with the things i had.. Ive never had the money for drum sets in those days but with all the little things I've purchased it adds to well over this small price tag of 150 smackers. <br /> <br />This machine has all your rhythm needs.. You can program a song beat for beat or jam along to the many cool patterns they have.. Also its important to note you can adjust the tempo on all of them so the possibilities are endless. This machine is so simple to use. It could be a great gift for starting musicians and just about anyone who's a creator. <br /> <br />Overall I love this ol thing and I plan on using it for many many MANY years to come.. and if it breaks on me, Ill just buy a new one! Cuz its worth every penny and more. <br /> <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 Ive been recording music for 6 years. I’m a bit of a perfectionist..

Btw, since you might be using it right now, check it out on youtube and alesis.com for a few pointers. Also, if you’re interested, I’m selling my MBOX2 protools for 350 or best offer. Let me know… I can break you off a good deal.

Polson Sun, 25 Jul 2010 13:01:28 +0000 http://zoom-review.com/blog/alesis-sr16-drum-machine#comment-639 I bought this as a gift for my husband - it was on his Amazon wish list. However, upon checking, he said that it's part of a kit and they no longer make the other components, so it's basicly useless. There was also no invoice included with the product when it arrived. I've been trying to return the item to the manufacturer but they refuse to reply to my inquiries, so I'm likely out the $160 and am extremely disappointed.
