MTI 16R Auto Orchestra


via this auction

"The 16R is a rare analog drum machine with a built in bass synthesizer (often compared to a TB-303, though I think the MTI sounds more raw) and chord accompaniment. This unit has the memory expander, providing four times the number of stock rhythms. Check out some of the rhythm names--the odd translations and misspellings provide almost as much entertainment as the sounds that come from the box. As a drum machine, the MTI is nice and flexible; it has cancels and rolls and a volume mixer. Sounds very cool."

  1. I have a 16 R for sale same as the one pictured. I played my last gig on Aug 18 2012 with it. I still set it up and play it at least once a week so I know it is in excellent shape. Comes with everything you see pictured here plus a second chord pedal [ both of mine are complete] and a second expansion module. there is an ADL string ensemble for the strings and a Berringer Rotary pedal for the organ. This is a fully functional unit! I also have the original stand if it is wanted.[ I have it set up in a rack at the moment.] Contact me at; mailand@embarqmail.com
