The drum machine that started a music revolution

As one of the most popular drum machines ever made, the SR-16 has been used by everyone from songwriters to live performers to remix engineers as their drum machine of choice. The reason is simple: it features a great selection of 233 realistic, natural drum sounds, offered both in dry form and sampled with sublime digital reverbs. Powered by Alesis’ exclusive Dynamic Articulation, drum sounds change their tonal content as they are played harder for truly realistic performances.

Fusing 50 preset patterns that were actually played in by top studio drummers, plus complete MIDI implementation, a footswitch input, flexible programming & editing features and velocity-sensitive pad buttons, SR-16 is so easy to use that you'll be up-and-running and composing new music in minutes.
