Alesis SR18 Drum Computer

Hi, sound very good, pleasant operation, solid workmanship, the part can also be operated with batteries, for me not relevant, but for much the outdoor music making optimal. The stored beats, paches known matter of taste, so at this point no rating. I own the already "old" Boss RD-880, so I connected the two via MIDI. Have incredible fun with the constellation.
12 pads to play/record beats on my own was totally enough. Instrument input available, 2 footswitch inputs, midi, aux, out L/R, headphone out, display shows what you need to see, what more do you want.
The SR18 is for the Kirstein price absolutely top device. You can't go wrong with buying the SR-18.
Negative criticism?, well if you want to find something negative, you will find it, but ..... stop for 250 Eur ?...... I'm not looking - this chapter I leave to those who always have something to complain about.
Delivery from Kirstein?, faster does not go at all, 5 stars.

(Was looking for a rhythm device with bass for guitar accompaniment to country songs) Ordered me the Alesis SR18, great display, battery operation!!! Foot switch connection, actually everything you need, but am overwhelmed with the programming . Therefore I send it back with a heavy heart. For experienced users, there is certainly hardly anything better.

The device is very good in its price range. There are many internal samples available and adding your own parts works without problems. Good help what is possible is available at "youtube" and the demo's there.
