  • Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty Posted: July 15 2010 review from Amazon User
    Pros & Cons :
    the grooves have a superior human feel over the sr-16.

    Alesis did it again !

    ...Not only are the sounds far more realistic on the SR-18, but Alesis seemed to have recorded the grooves into the machine with a real drummer playing a drum pad kit. The grooves have a superior hum ... read more

    stop, start, decent fills that are completely logical and predictable.

    Alesis Blew It

  • Star FullStar FullStar FullStar EmptyStar Empty Posted: March 1 2010 review from Amazon User
    Pros & Cons :
    i noticed that whatever tempo you decide to play a pattern in it is automatically saved, one of the least important things (to me anyway) so now every pattern has it's very own tempo, that just seems strange to me, one thing i liked about the sr-16 was when you wanted to change the length of a pattern you were give the option of taking bars off the end or the beginning, the sr-18 is like every other drum machine and you can only cut off the end, the sr-16 also had an output to dump all of your data onto a tape or cd (or whatever you prefer) so then you never run ot of memory, the sr-18 does not have this cool feature either,the sounds are good,lots of cool presets but drum machines still have a very long way to go before i will get too excited, i thought this was supposed to be an upgrade.

    Pros & Cons :
    sounds great but they changed and removed some of the commands that were essential for building songs to record -such as being able to change the lenghth of patterns and copying one sub-pattern to another pattern(even though the book says that you can, it doesn't work).

    ...The machine treats the Patterns and subparts as if they are all one and cannot be seperated. Writing and Recording is what I bought it for, so I wasted my money and my time. Ok to practice with bu ... read more
