BRO DUDE BUDDY GUYS, if I could slave away at a DAW fer yeers in order to burn through a live set by hitting one button on an Ipod Touch so's I could rawk out, I totally wood, but most of us are going blind all helen reddy, so

Oooof, that Jeff Mills video both reignites my RE909 gas and inspires me to just throw in the fucking towel. HAHAHA

For decent acoustic sounds and the ability to compose songs I would not overlook any of the stand alone Akai MPCs. Load in what you want, run around with a microphone, have a blast.

I agree that the HR16 sounds better than the SR16, and the ability to tune the sounds deeper or higher by a factor of 2 makes for a great industrial machine, plus the converters are a bit more raw sounding to me ears. There are dry sounds on the SR16 as well, but over all it seems Alesis steered the SR into a tighter window of "realism" and user friendliness than what the HR offers. I prefer the HR, but for live stuff I'd be more comfortable tossing the SR into the car. Neither machine is going to trick many into thinking it's an actual drummer.

How about the SR-18, anyone use that?

I have not and am also curious, the additional feature set does look interesting.

Not sure what the deal is with this but alexis puts this out which is an SR-16 or 18 with a different label:

Hey Jerry, it's an SR-16 clone, but it was sold with a set of external drum pads, and features external triggers for the whole kit.

This one is $99 with the brain & the pads, in serviceable condish :::crackersgif:::



Also, this vid is apples n' oranjes (anyone else's ears are probably better than mine), but here ye blows:

I had previously thought the ion company was part of of the inMusic buyout of Alesis, but I guess that happened in 2010 (and hence, the Miniak, which was a dupe of the Alesis Micron......sort of).

But then again, maybe it was

watching that reminded me of how bummed i was when i got to play with a new SR-16. i was like "i don't want their reverb all over everything."

True, but with some finessing, you could also buy one o' deez MIDI comptrollers (at least, in theory) 4 ULTIMATE MAYHAM

I know it only werks w/ the Nord 2, but I imagine it's thee only way 2 make the Alesis palatable, also MAYHAM

Supposedly the SR-18 lets you remove the effects. Plus a low-pass filter and a decay control which might be fun.

i love drum machines
that dude never gets tired on me

If it wasn't for the fact that I hate programming or navigating anything roland with a screen I would invest in an R8. The rolls and accents are so much fun to incorporate into beats.
