👍👍

I have sr-16 nice for a sequencer. My favourite machine is korg electribe which I have in software now. Not forgetting the yamaha rm1x for patterns. The holy grails for me are the drumtrax and linn samples from Samples from Mars. Staples!

Exactly the video I was looking for. Too many videos are of people using just samples to make music on the MPC1

Godflesh, made their legendary 'Street Cleaner' Album using the HR-16. When it borked on a US tour, they replaced it with the SR-16. As far as I know, the only upgrade to the machine since it's release in the 90's, is an upgrade from 16bit to 24bit. If only they would add a USB, I would grab one in a heartbeat! It's apparently the best selling drum machine ever.

the sr-16 sucks ..stop being so cheap...horrible

The SR16 actually has 4 separate outputs as. Well as the stereo outs! 😎

Cool but the problem with these drum machine especially the boss series it's the size of screen and no back light

I bought an Alesis SR-16 nearly 3 years ago, even though I already had an SR-16 sample pack since 2008 it's not quite the same as having the original hardware. I also have other drum machines including a Roland TR-505 which is great if you want that 8 bit sound.

Crave was my first synth. I own two Craves, two Edges, the Spice and the Grind. All of them are great! All 6 together is really fun!!!

Here's the thing. Buying two Craves doubles the fun and gives you thicker two VCO sounds. I'm surprised I don't see more people buying multiple Craves for this reason. I think two Craves sound better ( -used together simultaneously generating a combined patch ) than a single Proton. Any opinions on this?

I use to have the SR-16 i forgot what happened to it so many years ago but I think I'm going to buy it again

Uli - Please stop stealing other people's ideas and selling them as your own.

No drum machine is worth a penny if you can't edit the sound of the drums. Without full subtractive control of each drum and at least 6 quality outputs all you have generic sounds like everyone else. They will not be in tune or fit your music, unless the only music you create is generic. I own an Electribe2 Blue which has hands on control of the drum sound, but only stereo outputs. I am thinking of just buying an analog synth with the snappiest envelopes and choices of noise and making all my own sounds for a sampler. Maybe layering the sounds with edited drum sounds from the Electribe. Creativity is the key.

Nice video. My favourite rhythm setup : the good old SR-16 for a steady drum pattern + a "randomized" DFAM percussions sequence on top. Great sounds for solid and groovy pattern .

I'm definitely getting the lm drum. I worked for alesis as an ear. I used to be responsible for making reports on every sample in that machine. Clicks, pops, white noise, peaks, balance, roundness, warmth, etc. At the time, the sr16 was a good little drum machine. I have the sr18, which is better. I listen to the sr16 now and to my ears it didn't really hold up or fall into the Classic category whereas the linn drum has been used on every italo disco and lots of new wave 80s songs. Its been on my want list for 30 years and to be able to buy a hardware clone of it for 400 is great. Its part nostalgia and part inspiration. I know the linn drum samples have been passed around for years and yes I have vst versions but I just have to try out the hardware on this lm drum as I can't afford a real one.

Yup 👍 i was one of the vocal ones who expressed my opinion about the lack of a midi port. So as soon as they announced the M version, i pre-ordered this from #Sweetwater Hopefully it will cone in stock soon !! 🎉🎉🎉

The factor to consider about the Linn drum is the process flow of the sound. Yes it is a sample player but the fact the recreate the 12 bit RAW process which effects the sound is key. Plus there is some live editing which can be tricky in DAW land. By the way Sonicware has a bunch of drum machines which play with sample bits, or sample process. I am thinking about the Liveen mega sysnthis, which is the SEGA sound system in a box

FYI SR-18, th bigger brother has BASS and allot more sounds

Just do it, I have 11 drum machines, the LM drum will be #12

I pre ordered the lm1 even though I have an sr18.

Sr 18 is even better.

I bought MPC One+ and was about to return it, seeing so many videos about "making beats" and it so looked like gear for people who can't play any instruments and for LoFi hip hop stuff. I make beats with my arms and legs on my drums, and just wanted to manipulate pieces I play on various instruments. You are the first one who may make me keep it.

Why wouldn't you get the grind it does all that and more for same price

you are right, the sr16 does sound really good in the mix. are you programming it or just running it as a module through midi?

I think what most persons are missing about the value of the Behringer LM drum is the ability to sample any drum unit and keep the flow of the original Linn drum.Since the introduction of computer drum programs and sample kits I think musicians have lost the ability to use 80s drum machines .I would recommend you examine the RX5 (Yamaha) R8 (Roland) R70 (Roland) and DDR 880 and imagine modernizing these with touch sensitive large pads ,a large screen ,sampling increased memory and AI generated auto fills to the programmed beats that you drum in. In the eighties and nineties people wrote entire songs on these machines using touch sensitive keyboards and midi and the patterns as loops. I can’t wait to get the LM Wonderful video and as you advise keep making music.

Wait, how come you are impressed of Crave and not Deepmind12 or Model D? Those are real synths as well.

Yeah, you need a drum synth. EDM kind of drums. And buy used gear! I got Crave for 100. Check out model cycles ;)

I've got the Crave and the Edge, not bothered about the Grind (I've got Brains in my eurorack), really want the Spice.

using a drum machine in 2025 is like taking the long route home after your friends have just shown your a quick route

i got there rd-8 and rd-9 last year and had my gear lust on and aint even bothered to use it yet cant really be arse to work it out whats the point it easier doing it in the computer in reason and its just samples at the end of the day so its all just wasted money for something in metal box that taking up room when you can get the same result in the computer how ever if your talking mpc and s2400 thats a different story as it bring a different sound to the party

best crave tip I discovered; if your osc is set to pulse, then patch the "osc saw" out into the "ext audio" in jack, then you can use the blend knob to get richer tones. patching your other synths into the ext in will give you lots of options too, running through the crave's filter, which is super playable. It's a fun synth (though keep that JT around for pads, and the updates to it are worth exploring too). But, yeah, I use my crave way more than my JT; don't have the VS yet, but it's on my list, I liked the old Prophet VS it was based on. I also get a lot of mileage out of my behringer pro-1. Really, I've used every beheringer synth I've picked up on one recording or another!

The whole reason why I want one, it samples!

Like a lot of synth demo's this is more a demo of the fx than the synth, with hi-end fx any synth sounds good!

more Crave less 1222 BC gear..

Man I really respect your philosophy on buying stuff. People should ditch the consumer mindset and really start buying things that are suitable for their needs 🫡

I've got this same Alesis SR-16, bought it some time in the 1990s and I guess my decision to stick with it was right. By the way, not so long ago I contacted the Alesis service about the battery inside and - after all this time - I got a quick answer. Your vid confirmed my decision, thanks for it.

I love em all. They're all fun to play with. Crave is amazing, i have 2 of em, and when they were $199 i snagged 2 Neutrons as well. The amount if modular utility you get in Crave is unbeatable.

check out the microfreak!

The BSII will fill your voids bro.

Gear is all about look and feel... That is the cold truth. However, the small ones will rival many bigger units sound-wise.

The crave is perfect for 70s tangerine dream stuff, it's not for acid house. I used mine a lot when I had one, I sold it about 3 years ago

Hey Jesse, yeah they are all cool synths, but not every synth is for everyone. I have some gear I need to "clear out" myself, The JT4000 is def a keeper for me, been wanting the JP8000 sound for a long time. I have a few others that I barely use and just don't jive with - my Behringer ODYSSEY and a few others need to go I think... But yeah man sounds like you made the decision that works for you - check out my channel if you haven't and you would probably like Synth Samurai too, hardcore Behringer guy haha... My next synths is probably going to be the Korg MultiPoly we'll see... hahaha anyway I subbed so hopefully that'll help you out a bit and I will be back. BTW: SPICE, GRIND, EDGE, CRAVE

I bought a Crave when it was released, had a quick play but was not inspired. It sat on the shelf getting dusty for a year. Then I decided to make a one-synth tune just using the Crave and delay/reverb from my DAW. It was a fantastic way to realise the potential of the device. I did 3 tunes on it, it’s a great synth. I also got a Grind as soon as they were released, it’s a phenomenal synth. Here’s one of my Crave tunes. th-cam.com/video/JlrcORGv46Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DNIQn18y3F56yHDN

Use my Crave all the time with my Eurorack,,,sounds great.

Let us know are you getting the LM drum or are you looking for something else . What are you favorite drum machines

Not hearing 303-like sounds. That’s why I went for the Volca Bass not the NuBass. Sounds more like a 303. I do like all the CV or are those patches? Also saw the TD3SR which mimics the 303 workflow.

It really shines , crave is one of my next synths , i was going for the deepmind, but cant afford it. Can i ask what are you using for drums and to make a sequence with the crave ? Thank you

Run that PRO VS thru the crave. It add a lot to the sound

That is a lot of reverb.

The bass station is fabulous
