Alesis SR18 Tutorial 5. Step Edit & Quantize 

Thanks a lot. A very good tutorial 👌🤘

Hello. Thank you so much. Your trick is great and it works. Also that way you save a rhythm pattern with crash. I had seen your video and had not understood the need to do this. The normal thing is that after each break the next pattern contains a crash that sounds without problems. Thank you very much again. Last night I broke my head looking for a solution.

I set the Quantize to OFF and put the crash at the last step (95) instead of 88.

Good to have you back ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. How to make/edit your own kit?

OR you can leave the crash out altogether... and just hit the pad when you need it.

This machine is old but really good considering it’s age, midi implementation not so good, would love to be able to trigger a pattern or song from a helix preset. Having said that it’s great fun, good live

Great video and tutorial.👍😊

I'm using this as a slave to the Keystep Pro. Since I program/Record using KSP as the brain I don't want any patterns triggered when I hit play on the Keystep. I've been just hitting stop but wonder if there's a better solution. Thank you for all these tutorials!

I noticed in one of your other videos, you played keys with sr18. Do you use midi connections between sr18 and you keyboards? If so, I would like to learn more about that connectivity.

very smart Solution 👍 Thanks a lot. Btw, can't find Part 4. Deleted?

Couple of questions. Does any have a system like a spreadsheet template for documenting User Patterns/Songs? Also, what software are you using to dump midi backups to? Has anyone uploaded patterns?

Only had my sr18 for a month. I bought this used and am wanting to not o ly use the presets and existing patterns, but I would really like to finger tap a rhythm to back my guitar playing on the fly instead of scrolling through the presets etc. Now the problem: most of the pads have a sound but not all. What do I do to enter a drum sound in the ones that are missing. Next question is on the presets the bass that is existing is not in a chord progression is it, so how do I use it like that. Some of them sound good when I play along with them but not all. I know I'm old and probably a lost case but help!

Could you also have solved this problem by making your pattern length 4 measures and only adding the crash at the start of mm 2-4?

First: You can still hear that the crash is offbeat. Second: You do not explain why you choose this and do not program it on the first tick of your pattern. Is it because you want to end your song with a crash sound? So why don't you program an empty pattern with just a crash? I don't get it.

Hi Patrick. Can you do a video showing how you record a Fill in user mode?

This drum machine is hopelessly outdated.

I wish I had the patience for this machine. It had good samples for a drum machine. Unfortunately it frustrated me and I smashed it.
