This is the best Alesis SR-16 review. Good sound. No yapping.

[@7VSTUDIO]

Thank you!😀

[@DonovanStringer]

Hallowed ground, along with the legendary HR-16, these are my favorite drum machines, Godflesh in a box.

[@leogolive]

These drums sound really good!

[@alechay1477]

Bad ass drum machine

[@markiosty8748]

Had mine for years (since the 90's) and learning it all over again and amazed at what you can actually do with this thing running it through other gear ! As a long time bass player it's a great metronome drum kit !

[@adrianlikins1314]

I think I hear a few Godflesh songs in there.

[@savanaviolenta]

Love mine,use it all the time

[@micheletripaldi1966]

Thank you very much, a very complete e useful demo!

[@mattgilbert7347]

I'll never sell mine. Love the pads!

[@WassupFred]

Thanks 🙏🏾 for this demo

[@kezstone1]

Thanks for this, nice big very usable sounds

[@levonabrahamyan1127]

Good

[@algluba377]

Very nice demo.

[@lbsincro]

Nice retro beats !!

[@totesmagotes3688]

I sold mine and regret it. In the market for a new one now

[@mikemeengs5720]

40 bucks a month for 3 months on Amazon. I'm thinking about picking one one up. I have four drum machines already, but none have many acoustic drum sounds.

[@deshantejackson7539]

I have one brand new $100

[@MAGNUSERNST]

Ich werde alles daran setzen, dass es am Wochenende auf Maiks Akustikplatte zum Einsatz kommt. ALLES!

Wenn er den lieblichen Bluesgroove (ab 5.17) hört wird gar nicht soviel Überzeugungsarbeit mehr nötig sein;)

[@synthetic_paul]

Those mock 808 ones are the best... so pathetic but I love them. The punchy pop-industrial ones rip tho. Badass.

[@WolfEntertainmentLLC]

The 808 sounds are the sole purpose of purchasing this drum machine! LOL! So cheesy but so legendary!!!

[@andrescen7577]

What drum kit is that at 0:54?

[@jazzad]

Still the most punchy of realistic drum machines. They should really give it a new interface though.

[@Gutowski1944]

Hi, can the reverb and gate be turned off? Also, when making your own patterns in song mode can you control the crash cymbal decay and pitch?

[@7VSTUDIO]

Hi Thomas, you can control the pitch in a small range. The machine is based on samples, there is no way to turn off the reverb. It's how the sample sounds.

[@mizumon2515]

@@7VSTUDIO if only the reverb could be turned off 😔

[@7VSTUDIO]

@@mizumon2515 Maybe using a Gate could help ...

[@svenjansen2134]

It has plenty dry samples.

[@mizumon2515]

@@svenjansen2134 it does? i've never seen a demo without reverb 🤷‍♂️

[@97warlock]

sounds awesome but that crash symbol sounds real bad

[@calleenmusicchannel]

The new 24bit version is trash. The pads on this one are so responsive and to my ears these drum samples are much more gritty and hit much harder than the new version.

[@kierenmoore3236]

24bit version?! Do you mean the SR18 … ? Or are you saying there are 24-bit versions of the SR16 … ?!!!

[@telantas]

​@@kierenmoore3236I am wondering the same thing.

[@kierenmoore3236]

@@telantas There is a newer 24-bit version of the SR16 … but I’m nit sure whether the samples are updated or not, and - if not - what the point of making it 24-bit is … 🙃🤷🏻‍♂️

[@telantas]

@@kierenmoore3236 I didn't know. I wonder what version is the one I have. It was purchased new a couoke of years ago or so. Maybe the 16-bit chip they used went out of production or the 24-bit chip was cheaper...

[@kierenmoore3236]

@@telantas It will say on the front, near the screen .

[@ZaoFuneralOfGod]

Are the effects (rev, delay) into the SR16 or external?

[@7VSTUDIO]

All you hear is Alesis SR16, no external FX added

[@ZaoFuneralOfGod]

​@@7VSTUDIOIf I wanted to add some external effects, what would you recommend? External pedalboard or something else?

[@7VSTUDIO]

@@ZaoFuneralOfGod Oh, there are so many possibilitys - just try! I would recommend a tube-processor to warm up the sound, for example.
