Thank you the most comprehensive and easy to understand instructional Alesis SR18 video's on RU-vid! Keep them coming!!! It is a pretty darned good drum machine!
Can you hook this to an amp and or a powered speaker to get the sound of the Alesis and my guitar through each sound device? Using the tones developed in my Katana amp?
Wonder why I'm getting different volume levels with different patterns? Frustrating to have to adjust the volume all the time. Shouldnt the volume stay the same for all of the patterns?
Great tutorials, thank you... Do you know how to make custom drums set from those that are already built in... Or even beter is there an option to put new produced sounds?
Oh and by the way anybody using this to record with if you run your stereo left and right into a couple of good quality preamps and a good stereo 5 band parametric EQ into a quality analog mixer with parametric eq, this will greatly improve and enhance the natural sound and fatten give a natural quality to the drums and make them sound like real drums before sending your drum signal to your audio interface. I used to fooll a lot of people with my mix's . They didn't even know it was a drum machine until I told them
Hi I've been using the leases SR16 425 years. I never learned how to program it but usually I could find a user preset good work for the song I was trying to write and by using pattern a and pattern B and then using the fill button I could get by with that . My question does the sr18 have more user presets in different beats than the SR16? I'm being 32-bit technology is the natural sound quality any better ?
This is completely worthless. I just wanna video simple he’ll hit record record to be play back that’s all I wanna know. Hey Siri, it doesn’t make anything clear I must will be listening to the fuck in Chinese instructor thumbs down.
A request: What I have yet to find is a tutorial about how to play a simple song with others , using a "count in". eq a foot switch starts a one or 2 bar count, THEN the drums start. The alternative seem to be for someone to hit the start switch on the "1" (and hope they hit it at the right time), or worse still ( because it sound amateurish) to have the drums start then everyone plays along. This type of tutorial would be MOST welcome !! (BTW - your videos are good !! - )
Yeah, I can't find anything on that either. If you could append one of the percussion sounds to the beginning of a built in patch, it could work. But I can't figure that our either. This feature should be really easy to do.
When I create a pattern and press FILL, the beat stops and starts up when it goes to pattern B. The pre-sets let you press FILL and it actually plays a fill but not when I create my own pattern. I am trying to find out why.
Hello, I have made my first Song. I have used several patterns with the breaks (fill A - fill B) and I have a problem. The pattern that follows the breaks has a crash that doesn't sound. Only crash patterns that do not have a break fill-A or fill B in front of them are played. Do you know why this happens? thank you.
“Ok cool”. Love this guy 🤘. Learning from your videos cause my SR18 is coming Friday! Got a question for ya (might’ve already asked). So I got a looping pedal for guitar.. you can play for ever lol. Could I possibly send the SR18 to the pedal and be able to sample the beat as a constant loop (with guitar and bass)?? Hope that makes sense, probably not my bad 🤘 Or is there a way to record instruments onto the SR18 as a sample or something??
Anyone know if it's possible to download a backup from the SR-16 to the SR-18? Thinking of moving from a 16 to an 18 and it would be great if I could import my patterns as easily as I can to other SR-16 units.
I ended up transferring the patterns individually via midi, and I had to rebuild my song patterns and kits. Unfortunately there wasn't a way to transfer globally like you can between units of the same model.@@How2Noise
I want to thank you. Your instruction is really good. -straight forward, great content and progression, and really effectively organized for a novice with the equipment like me.
Hello to every one, I have a question: is Alesis SR18 electric drum and more? Is it an arranger too? Change it tonality if press different chords?(only bass) Thank you to your reply.
Hi Reinaldo, thankyou for your question. Yes and yes, Its a powerful little machine. Along with any drum track you can also add a bass track and a percussion track. I plan to have more videos soon on arranging patterns using song mode. Over the holidays I've been busy learning new editing software along with improving my audio, lighting and camera setup for future videos. A huge thank you to all of my subscribers for your patience, kind words, and inspiring me to make more videos. I really appreciate all of your support. Looking ahead, I have a ton of cool drum machines, effects pedals, synths, musical instruments, etc. that I plan to review in the near future. H2N.
