The Alesis HR-16 drum machine is a classic electronic drum machine that was first released in the late 1980s. It was designed to provide musicians, producers, and composers with a versatile and affordable tool for creating drum patterns and beats. The HR-16 features a compact and sturdy design with a user-friendly interface. It consists of a 16-pad grid layout, where each pad represents a specific drum sound or percussion instrument. The pads are velocity-sensitive, meaning the intensity of the hit affects the volume and timbre of the sound produced. Stock, there are 49 sounds including 10 kicks, 7 snares, and a complete percussion set - all of which are 16 bit samples.
