"This mega modified Alesis HR-16 is the first in a short series of HR mods in custom enclosures and loaded with features. The HR-16 is filled with circuit-bent craziness and unique drum/synth sounds. Check out the description of features below. When none of the modifications are engaged this machine functions like a 100% stock hr-16

Custom HR-16 FEATURES:
Circuit-Bending Interface: 20 point patch-bay allow you access to bendable ROM locations. Linking these points with patch cables will generate a wide range off effects, synth tones, new sounds, and unique sound-scapes. The HR-16 is particularly responsive to CB mods and has one of the widest ranges in sound for a circuit-bent drum machine. Patch-bay also has 3 points joined for mulit patching, and the entire patch-bay is backlight with multi-color flashing LEDs. Leds randomly blink and fade into just about every color in the spectrum.

Patchable Rotary Switch: Located on the main patch panel is a 12 position rotary switch with a patch location for base and each of the 12 positions. Patch locations can be routed through this switch then selected at will. Leaving a position blank will serve as off or bypass.

Dual Oscillator: Audio Frequency oscillator and LFO Pitch is controlled by LED fader and output is wired to bending patch bay. When patched to particular locations this will generate tunable overtones and other unique sounds.

CLK/Master Pitch Control: Master pitch controls affects the pitch of all drum sounds but not the tempo of pattern of speed of other functions. Pitch ranges from well above to WAY below normal pitch, at low pitches you can get some really gritty bit-reduction sounds. Pitch is controlled with LED fader and features by-pass switch."
