    Used this to write my music as a kid guitar player. It made me learn to play drums to a click and from there I moved from guitar to drums and did many studio recordings being a young drummer who could play to a click.

      That's amazing! You got some proper click training there. Cheers

      @@NostalgicExplorer made a decent living from those sessions. They use to bring me in after 12 and redo drum tracks as a ghost player. Next day the band members had no clue and just tracked to my drums. Never got album credits but… I got pay checks

    It's hard to imagine today, but in 1990 the HR16 served as a drum kit for a local cover band. It was in no way used as a drum machine, as those people got total timing issues playing to a drum computer. (I still don't get why, but that's what it was.) Instead, there was an entire E-drum kit set up up of trigger pads. Since the band didn't skimp on hq audio equipment, HR16 worked comparably well as a "real" drum set back in those days.

      Amazing machine that this time could somehow replace drummers. The real drums are quite good.

      @NostalgicExplorer Yes, it resembled more or less state of the art around that time.

    My god... I've got one. I used to perform moving at the same time cutoff and resonance command with my left hand, as they are close enough to allow it. I've also tecorded a soundtrack simulating a jazz orchestra with a 4-tracks cassette Tascam, using only the SH-1000 preset (about 30 tracks bouncing), no dynamics at the end obiouvsly, but enough realistic. Now i'm seriously afraid of turn it on due to too long time without using it, i'm waiting to send it to a good synth doctor...

    I used to hate my Alesis and wished I had a TR 808. Later I got an MPC.

      The MPC is a monster in comparison to the Alesis. Though I never had a TR-808, I was more into the TR909 because I produced house music. Cheers!
