Alesis SR18 Drum Machine Preset Patterns Demo 

The last of the V8 Interceptors !

sound demo starts at 7:30

At 20:24 preset 47-A (what a coincidence), there's a slight bend of the bass note as you would on a regular stringed instrument. On my SR18, i've checked all tracks seperately: Bass, Perc, Drums. But i cant seem to find any way to bend notes. The manual mentions it in "midi implementation", but there's no evidence that you can actually do a vibrato or sliding kind of sounds on the bass. Any ideas? Thank you for the video. 👍

Nice video! Please, can you tell me if I can record my bass myself with a pattern? I mean, it could be a preset pattern copy to a new composer pattern, and a all new composer pattern made by me, of course? I hade two Alesis-HR 16, but they finish their mission from 1990 until 2023, and I'm about to but this Sr 18. Thank you very much.

What are the fills like?

Boots and pants?

It's strange that even after all these years drum machines still have a fixation for samba/rhubarb/tango etc. Who plays that stuff ? What about all the classic rock/pop patterns ? Led Zep, Joy Division, Beatles, Stones, Kinks etc. And that bass is just so midi. Thanks for posting though. I will have to take my GAS elsewhere it seems.

Oh, my God! Please turn off that RIDICULOUS bass accompaniment.
