Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Ordered this under my wifes acct. Love it. Wish i could send my old one, so someone could refurbish it.

User mode allows creation of just about any drum beat / pattern you can think of using the samples from the included drum kits. Needless to say, this is so much better than manually compiling song steps. It is fairly simple to operate.

The alesis does the job well for my demo recordings. I use a digital multi-track so this fits my needs. Electrical tape covering a busted out corner for the last 4 years and all.

The launchpad is my master midi clock in addition to sending note data, so my sr-16 is just playing drum hits as a * unit. This model (sr-18) is worth every penny.

Cons

Be forewarned. This is very uncool. Word of mouth is the best, or the worst kind of advertisement.

Unfortunately, the new one has the same midi out problems. Upon connecting the cables to an amp, no sound was produced. Can't change the lenghth of patterns and copying one sub-pattern to another pattern.
