"This is a heavily modified version of the Alesis HR-16 drum machine from the late 80s/90s. I have developed my own custom PCB board to house all the modifications I carry out and to keep the design clean and robust.

I will also consider swaps/trades for gear that interests me, dead or alive.. ask me... :)

Most notable features added are:
Ability to quickly replace sound bank chips using the quick release sockets mounted to the top of the unit (compatible with any of the soundbanks I have in my other listings)
Full LTC1799 Pitch Modification, allowing you to change the overall pitch of the whole machine (can go SUUUUUPER slow (a snare can last around 7seconds) ) and also around 20% higher in pitch. It's also worth noting that all sounds can individually pitched/tuned also as standard. It makes for great turntable style slow downs etc.

Updatable STEREO DSP FX System, including Low and High Pass filters, Bitcrush, reverb, delays etc. Used in conjunction with the multiple outputs makes the machine super powerful. Endless fun or just use it to make the sounds a little dirtier..

Gorgeous solid walnut side panels really set the look of the machine off.

+ Haxxor HR-16 - An evening of Glitch, Damage & Distortion for Sampling (Jan 2014)

Published on Jan 31, 2014 HAXXOR AUDIO·40 videos

"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.

Live Acid Session with TR-707, Alesis HR-16, Alpha Juno, x0xb0x

Published on Feb 4, 2013 gilanddelivery·3 videos

"Welcome to our new channel. We're going to feature all sorts of content on here, but the main theme is based around one take, raw format music "jam sessions" (ugh...) and basically whatever else we feel like uploading. Any sort of errors or fuckups or whatever will generally just be left it and be a part of the video. We want this to be a look into what sorta shit we do in the studio, as opposed to us performing for the camera. For this video we used a TR-707, Alesis HR16, Alpha Juno, x0xb0x, midiverb, and mpc 2000 for sequencing the Juno.

"Modified Alesis HR-16 with 24 point LED circuit bending patch grid and master pitch control.

The Diabolical Modified Alesis HR-16 accesses ROM-based bending effects by use of a 24 point patch grid. A single LED patch pin will make a connection and generate one of many bizarre effects and glitches ranging from distorted, filtered and modulated effects, to bizarre sounds and warped drum loops. The LED on the patch pin reacts to ROM data present at that point and puts on a light show.

This modification also includes a master pitch control with bypass switch and LED indicator, which affects all sounds. The patch grid and pitch control in combination can produce some truly unique drum and synth sounds. These are great machines and the HR-16 is loaded with original features. The modification unleashes the evil monster that has been hiding inside since the 80′s.

Diabolical Devices fully refurbishes their modified devices and uses quality parts. Not only do you get fun new features, you get a machine that's more reliable than ever and can still function as a stock unit would.

Comes carefully packed with 4 LED patch pins, basic instructions to get you started, and a repair warranty. Basically if it should fail in the future, just send it back, the unit will be repaired and returned to you no charge (excludes physical damage, mechanical components, misuse, and other unreasonable situations).

Features

24 point Matrix Patching Grid: Triggers Glitches and Effects when single patch pin is inserted
4 LED Patch Pins: LED responds to ROM activity
2 Patch Panel LED Indicators
Master Pitch/Clock Speed Control with bypass switch and status LED"

Don't have time to record a long vid, so this one's a 'concentrated' vid, showing loads of new sounds, and especially the damage & distortion sounds. All in glorious high tempo, to satisfy any impatient viewers.

Yep, this thing's badass ;)"
