About this deal

The exclusive Dynamic Articulation feature enables a drum sound to change its tonal content as it's played harder for truly realistic performances. The SR-16 features 50 preset patterns that were actually played in by top studio drummers, not just programmed and quantized.

The SR-16 is velocity sensitive with the Dynamic Articulation feature, allowing the sounds to be very expressive and natural sounding. This machine was pretty good about 20 years ago when it was designed. The sound quality was great at that time. But this does not applies as of today, unfortunately. The Alesis SR-16 includes 233 drum sounds with 24-bit sound engine for high-fidelity grooves. The sounds are realistic and dynamic, because they are real samples played by top studio drummers as opposed to being created artificially.There are 50 preset rhythmic patterns that can be adjusted and tweaked. Plus each preset has A and B variations, in addition to fill sections; which is perfect for composing arrangements. Good part is that this machine is pretty easily operated. It does remembers the patterns in place and you cannot ran out of memory as you can always dump the MIDI data out of the device. It is very easy to handle and all the interface is very intuitive. You can set the tempo with the pattern switch pedal just by tapping it. You can predict when your fills ends up between the pattern switching. The SR-16 is housed in a sturdy and durable casing, making it suitable for both studio and live performances. Its compact size and lightweight design make it highly portable and easy to transport. It can be powered either by AC power or batteries, providing flexibility for different performance scenarios.
