From hip-hop to country and everything in between, SR18
nails it on the first take. SR18 has an effects engine with Alesis reverb, EQ,
and compression so you can output recording or performance-ready sounds.
Alesis' exclusive Dynamic Articulation™ technology modifies
sample sounds so they change as you play them. This results in sounds that
respond accurately not only to dynamic changes, but also with the appropriate
timbral and colour changes you'd expect from their acoustic counterparts.
You can plug in an instrument, such as a guitar, and play
along for setup simplicity. You can play in bass parts using the pads on SR18
or connect a MIDI keyboard for fast, musical
low end.
SR18 can be powered by AC or batteries, so whenever or
wherever you need to lay down a groove, you’re ready to roll. It’s time for you
to step up to the next Alesis drum machine.
