i have just purchased a sr-16 and this video has helped me so much thank you so much for coverting from vhs takin the time to help the ppl i have owned a roland 303 groovebox which i have an instructional video on youtube for and akai mpc 2000 i have moved on to the sr-16 which i am loving i cannot thank you enough for posting this it took me over a year to figure out my 303 because it was my first and not one instructional video existed and this is the only one for the sr-16 much appreciated !!

[@miguelesteves9740]

This machine is so ingeniously created, it's so mesmerizing, that I just bought myself one recently. It has functions that are still so very actual and broadly used in contemporary drum machines/grooveboxes. It also carries some unique 80's and 90's sounds that are worth keeping and processing.

[@savanaviolenta]

Exactly XI bought this machine because of those 80s and 90s sounds that are not present on newer machines and because eits a classic. And a classic never gets old.

[@McSynth]

I love the SR16. So beautifully designed, and with some more than excellent sounds.

[@johntierney2561]

This series of tutorials are brilliant- best on youtube- I have learned so much from them and they also demonstrate just how good the SRT16 is and it's superb functionality- it is one of the best drum machines ever made

[@svenjansen2134]

Thanks for writing a clear and even a little humorous manual. Read it online and the aux output immediately made me buy it. Heavenly snares this box holds! Thanks Alesis!

[@leftymadrid]

LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!!! Lol Funny how people react to the "time period" thing, and by the looks it's sure looks like VHS LOL, BUT!!!!! These Alesis SR 16 Drum machines have been around for quite a long time folks. And they keep selling them in 2017!!!!!!! WHY????? Because they are perfect to use!!!!! And last and last!!!!! Geez, I had the linn drum machine way back then, and it sounded great, sampled sounds of real drums, but had it's hang ups with processer. This SR16 is EXCELLENT!!!! To help you compose, in the simplest manner!!! Home studio, midi use, and live use is tops!!!! Sure, there are a bunch of new Drum machines out there, but this little Gem has been used by a ton of people, and proven quality and simplest user friendly box around!!!! Compared to newer drum boxes... "Still around in 2017" believe me, if this unit was NOT GOOD, it would Not Be still selling today...Video was rather vintagey, but very helpful if you pay attention... ALTHOUGH the CLARITY of the panned shots on buttons of Alesis SR 16 are very terrible, but if you have the unit next to you, you can determine where he is actually pressing lol. I recommend it for sure, you can't "BEAT" it for the price!!!!

Very helpful. Was able to build a one page cheat sheet from this video to keep with the 40+ page instructions. Yes you can do all of this in 1/8 the time with a DAW or even ipad, but I like these machines. Also I like to build the song and then edit later. Also, the 1980's.....

[@rickgleitsmann7847]

I run one channel of my SR-16 directly to a Vox 15w amp. The other channel I put through a Jupiter T 3.0 mini-synth/theremin and then to a Hartke bass amp. You can create limitless background tracks for any electric instrument you can play.

"If you're hot into writing a tune, and you just want some rock groove..."

I still have and use the same machine I bought in 91 and I can see why they are still sold. I originally got it simply because I could use it at home to play along with but once I learnt to write songs on it I started to use it to gig and record with. I think that old saying 'If it ain't broken, don't fix it' applies to this machine (even though they brought out the SR18)

The fact is it's not 120 bpm on 15:11, neither it is 150 bpm on 16:52. SR-16 always is a couple bpms faster. And it's not just VHS. The internal clock of SR-16 is not correct.

[@paulwood4142]

Thanks for that, I recorded to a click track and was going to just insert a proper drum track with same BPM later but oh no, it does not sync!

[@superslonic]

[@alexgregory1427]

wow i bought this in 1991 while traveling ,outside of Nevada. Even then , i got a great price. I had to have it! Seems like 8 years ago....! cant BELIEVE they sold this UNCHANGED til last year !!! epic!...what a product life cycle!... I did whole songs on it synced to an ADAT machine, and it worked well. and WHOOOAT...they had HOW TO VIDEOS back way then ?? , lol! p.s Roland R8 was so intimidating back then (especially Price wise)

[@MariusVideoOfficial]

I 'm buyng one of these wonder machines used but well owned, at the half of the actual price...I Like very much the possibilty to program and set everything and the internal sequencer is very useful for music creation without a computer based Daw. I Like to make music in old school using for example a multitrack digital recorder like the Tascam dp003-sd and other external synths and instrument, creativity is stimulated by touching buttons and potentiometers and not distracted by hundreds of plugins.

[@jeaneugenedx]

Always nice to be able NOT to use the computer sometimes.

[@TheTinMan123]

I love these 60s demos, sr-16 sounds great too 😉

[@LittleRichard1988]

I'm seriously thinking about buying an Alesis SR-16 even though I have an Alesis SR-16 sample pack as custom drum kits inside a VST but Alesis don't like their samples being distributed without their permission. The SR-16 is also so compact it can fit into even the tightest setup and you can get then second hand for next to nothing. It might not be the most convincing sounding drum machine but if you program and layer your sounds properly it can sound vaguely authentic or you can use it as a drum trigger inside your DAW with a USB midi interface. It even has velocity sensitive pads, it's very advanced for it's age.

I've buyed this machine recently 'cause the Drumbrute impact I tried before was simply too "analog" to me. The SR16 is sample based, I had this machine 25 years ago and it is just the best drummachine available (the Roland R8 was the better one, but this machine isn' t available anymore).

[@bethrealrockingrealtortrep2827]

Does that foot switch allow the fills to happen?

[@hollowmenrule]

hey, if you have a 3 track mixer, you should be able to run both into the input jacks. 1-3. then look for a LINE OUTPUT, which may look like the stereo system outputs, not the guitar cable. so you will need a cord that has the "stereo red and white" plugs going OUT OF YOUR MIXER, then make sure it has a guitar plug on the other end. radio shack has those cords. so red/white stereo plug on one side, guitar plug on the other, I think, probably what you need.

[@MikeD2105]

Line 6 amp should have an 1/8" input for cd/mp3 player. Get a cable 1/4" TRS to 1/8" TRS from SR-16 AUX L/R out (or headphone out) to Line 6 CD input. Volume for SR16 should be controlled by the SR16 (turn it down before plugging in), volume and tone on Line 6 will control instrument input only.

[@sorinhodineant]

Hi, a useful tutorial, but I have a question: how can you make a measure of 7/8 for example? Or how on other rhythm machines the last step 7 or LAST STEP 14 ..? Well, the option would be to do 7 measures and to put only 1 beat during time, but this will give you a rhythm that you have to use at maximum speed so that you can use it ... but which is not useful because you are limited only to that speed and you can't rush the tempo more than that ... maybe an opinion can help me, thank you!

[@J0HNJ0RDAN]

So if you wanted to use this for a recording would you just program your beat and then using the audio outs run the pattern into your DAW and record it onto a single track and then mix that single tack in with your vocal and instrument tracks?

[@J0HNJ0RDAN]

Also, are you limited to one tempo throughout the song? I suppose using a DAW you could simply record separate tracks at different tempos?

[@Catdaddysound]

I use it as a sound module and in midi and then print to audio using separate tracks for bass, hh, snare, toms, and cymbals. Pro Tip: to get some of the cheese off of a drum machine snare, solo the snare track to a pair of headphones on a close micced snare and mix that in behind the original track. It makes it sound more realistic.

how old are these units ?

I wish somebody could explain how to select a drum beat name it and then get back to it during a performance. Without explaining the basics of how the machine works they go in to this endless minutiae. I have tried and tried to figure this machine out I just couldn’t do it and I can’t find anywhere that can explain it. If somebody could point me to a video that shows how to work this machine I would appreciate it very much
