Darn, I was very excited for this but the angle makes it very difficult to see the screen and which things are lit up because I can see every single option, but thanks for the upload very helpful
Hi, how do I use the rhythms of this drum machine via a yamaha keyboard, but use the baseline thats already in the Yamaha keyboard? my yamaha keyboard uses a usb to host cable but the alesis uses the 5 pin midi
chris Barnett while recording your beats in pattern mode push stop where u want the double bass, and hold in the fill button and then press the kick pad holding both down the fill button and the kick and then press play while still holding them,,the fill button acts as a roll function for instant double bass or snare blast.
Hi I own one and wondered can you play songs live with split rhythm patterns A / B verse chorus for instance So Lonely by the police or The Clash Should I Stay or Should I go? £5 PayPal to the best reply 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for the feedback. I will keep that in mind for the future.
@@techreviewguy7771 thanks for the reply dude! Keep it up man! I'd love to see a redo of this video. Because it was the best one.
Thank you so much! It was helpful guidline.
You're welcome!
The Alesis drum machine is a clasic
Oh yes!
That was a great video am going to see if i can get one on amazon.
Thanks!
Great video, brother! I had one of these back in the day and think I may get another. Keep rocking! 🤘
Thanks! Yes, it's a great machine!
@@techreviewguy7771 Just to show again how weird TH-cam is, your 2 month old reply to me just popped up on my phone as if it was just now, lol. 🤘🤣
Hi! Can you do a tutorial on how quantize and swing means and how they work on the alesis sr16 drum machine. Thanks
I will keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks!
@@techreviewguy7771 👍
Awesome thanks for making this!
It would be great to learn more from you
Thanks!
Thanks for making video! How does one save the new beat? And how to change name of the pattern name?
I will probably address these questions in a future video. :)
6:00 Learned that the hard way!!
:)
HI,Can i do blastbeats and d-beat with the sr 16?thanks in advance
I am not sure what those are. Anyone?
Hi. Is there a way to use the preset patterns to compose a song by just adding an intro and outro? Please keep it simple, I'm a bass player. Thanks.
Yes, I am pretty sure you can do that. I almost never use the presets, but I am quite sure you can use them in a song.
Hi, how do I use the rhythms of this drum machine via a yamaha keyboard, but use the baseline thats already in the Yamaha keyboard? my yamaha keyboard uses a usb to host cable but the alesis uses the 5 pin midi
I don't have much experience with USB to host. You may need to get an adapter, like the ones that Kenton makes.
so can you change the timing and beat of the click track, as not all beats are the same?
Yes, you can.
Does this machine come with 2/4, 7/8, 9/8 rhythms pre-loaded?
I don't believe so, but I could be wrong. I never use those time signatures, so I am not positive.
Does anyone know if the preset patterns can be chained together in song mode?
Yes, they can.
Is there a way to get good solid double bass ?
Do you have to just do it yourself or can you hold any specific buttons to help ?
By "double bass", do you mean increasing the bass frequency?

have to quantize and put in correct note value.
Hi! How do you adjust the volume levels of the pads? Thanks
It is very easy. There are several settings, including volume, that you can adjust for each pad.
@@techreviewguy7771 okay thanks
Is there any way to get custom sounds on there?
Good question. This is something I have not yet tried with the SR 16. Anyone?
What does the quantize is used for? Thanks
If your playing is off time, quantize will fix it and put it in time.

Do you mean, could you just play the patterns in a preferred sequence rather than programming them?
