"Haxxed & Circuit Bent ALESIS HR-16 Drum Machine -

'High Resolution' Glitch, Distortion & Damage. Powerful sounds indeed...

The HR-16 is a master of fierce digital distortion, and can produce some of the meanest beats you're ever likely to hear. It's kinda like the ED-209 of digital drum machines...
It has a whole range of different uniquely electronic sounding Damage and Gate Effects. Add these with the Tones, Ring-Mods, Glitch / Weirdness, and use the Step-Sequencers to 'program' complex patterns of Effects and Modulation.

Use the Switches/Rotary Switch to - Twist, Warp, Mangle, Scramble, Disrupt & Distort the 'High Resolution' ALESIS HR-16 Drum Machine....

This machine has been fitted with a sophisticated Step-Sequencer & Pattern-Generator, which provides patchable effects & Modulation. Complex Patterns & Fills can be Cut/Dropped on demand with a single switch. The Step Sequencers can also be used to modulate and trigger other suitable gear (more on this in a later vid).



I have some interesting ideas that I want to try out on a fresh unit, so this particular machine is going on ebay in a day or two.
