Alesis SR-16 drum machine evolved
September 21, 2009 on 3:00 am | By admin | In ArtsDrum machines were first used as rhythm machines attached to organs so that organists could produce more sounds while playing. This was in the late 1960’s. From then on, the Alesis SR-16 drum machine evolved. The Rhythm Ace was the first really popular machine, and it was produced by Ace Tone/Roland Music. Now all sorts of drum and percussion sounds can be replicated. This is necessary when no studio musicians are available, but it is also just a great way of adding to musical creativity. You can buy drum machines that can mimic sounds to go with a variety of music styles and genres, so they’re not just helpful with electronic music. Different beats and tones can be tried and either kept or discarded, so the musician is freer to experiment and make better and more interesting music.
