Great product, fair price works and functions like machines way beyond it price.
Great for practising the guitar & making songs
Recomiendo este modelo S18 vs,. el S16 ya que por un poco ms de dinero tienes ms almacenamiento, que a larga cuenta. Bueno para estudio y para presentaciones en vivo. Es un producto ya muy probado. No es barato, pero buena relacin calidad-precio.
Very useful for composing song. I got it for special price at Amazon . 25000
Es una muy buena caja de ritmos, pero para m, resulta un tanto incmoda de manejar. No necesito tantos ritmos ya hechos, necesito ms facilidad de programacin, aunque pierda algo de calidad.
very cool and amazingly versatile little drum machine. Great sound and very user friendly. I highly recommend this produc
Buona batteria elettronica. Abbastanza versatile. Certi ritmi gi esistenti sono abbastanza inutili. Le istruzioni in italiano sono troppo striminzite. In rete si trovano molti video molto interessanti sull’utilizzo della macchina e sono in lingua inglese. Nel complesso un buon acquisto. Amazon impeccabile, come sempre.
As good as anything out there. If new you will get the hang fairly quickly. Not that cheap but if this is what you need then it should be perfec
love the drum machine, not the way it was shipped
This is a compact machine with good beats and relatively easy to use
his is a good unit some of the sounds are a bit old but good
These machines have been around for years and never dissapoint.
So many drum kits and preset drum patterns. It sounds great and easy to use.
Sounds are quite realistic, the overall number of options and the deck layout are quite good! It is important to understand, that users are expected to have more than a basic understanding of how to use a drum machine. Creating simple patterns can be a bit trying but more complex sets of patterns takes time to learn.
I only got this today & I am delighted with the sounds . I lived through the years of drum machines that sounded so bad you wanted to run from the room lol. & my only slight worry is the frail power cable . Other than that I found some excellent Tutorials on U Tube .. Thanks to ‘ 80’s Man ‘ & I am already starting to program my own sounds . For me it will be a new skill to learn but for anyone who is quite familiar with such things I found it very sensibly laid out . A Gr8 addition to my recording setup & I would say a Gr8 aide to any Musician who wants to practice along to a Beat.
Ich habe genau das bekommen, was ich mir gewnscht habe, das Produkt entspricht zu 100% meinen Erwartungen. Ideal zum Komponieren, feiner Sound, hochwertige Verarbeitung. Bitte weiter empfehlen.
Zum ben hervorragend geeignet, auch fr eigene Songs mit Fusschalter Start / Stop und Fill ins. Sehr gutes Preis – und Leistungsverhltnis
A diferencia de la anterior sr 16, la sr 18 es ms fcil de usar. Excelentes prestaciones.
Anche se un po’ datata come modello (per il backup dei dati, prevede ancora le musicassette), la qualit dei suoni davvero molto alta e la drum machine risulta facile ed immediata nella programmazione. Comoda la possibilit di implementare pedali per lo start/stop e i fill. Consigliata.
The unit is very easy to use and has plenty of great functions that make composing and recording a blast. The drum patterns and tracks are just mind blowing!!
My Alesis HR16 having gone into retirement and vendors asking silly money for second-hand ones, I thought I’d look at the SR16s as all I really want is what the HR16 had already given me. I don’t need the bells and whistles of the SR18, so the SR16 was the obvious choice.
It arrived in good time. I live in the Scottish Northern Isles so tend to take delivery dates with a pinch of salt, but this actually arrived a day early. Impressed!
The SR16 needed a good clean as it was a bit marked and dusty, but came up fine. I also contact sprayed Sockets as is my usual Practice with new gear. Running the Presets, and the sounds are there as I wished. In the box was a small plastic Wallet, presumably for the Users Manual, but it was empty. Now whether there was supposed to be document in there or what, I don’t know. It’s easy to find them on the Web though, so no real problem.
The Pads seem to require a bit more pressure than my HR16 did. This can make programming fills and little trippy kinda stuff a bit hit and miss. I don’t know if it’s to do with the age of this particular Unit or not. Not a great problem for me as I tend to program from Roland Pads. But it maybe something to consider if you are using this as a stand alone Drum Machine. There are just three levels of programmable Sensitivity – Low is next to useless, Medium is the main one, and High basically give little in the way of dynamics. Another thing to bear in mind is something that the SR16 has been quite rightly criticised for, there is no Contrast Control for the LCD Screen, and neither is it backlit. If this is a deal breaker for you, then go for the SR18. It is a bit of a problem for me, but not major.
Taking all of the above into account, I’m very happy with my SR16 and it limitations. The Drum sounds are ‘quality’. If one is careful with the programming, then with this machine it would be relatively easy to fool Joe Public that a real drummer and kit is is being played – if that’s what you want. It is also very easy to make it sound like a retro Drum Machine too, which after all this is!
If you like the SR16 Sounds, like the classic Drum Machine method of working and are happy with it’s MIDI flexibility, then this is the machine for you. If your focusing on more Dance orientated stuff, then this will do it, but its no 808. I like it!
Trae buenos ritmos y es fcil hacerlos. Yo cre mis propios estilos desde cero en Logic y luego los grab en la caja de ritmos va cable midi.
