Alesis SR18 Manual De Usuario

 

 

 

 

You will hear a metronome sound and the top 
line of the screen will display the Pattern’s 
current Beat Number. Play the pads to the 
beat.  As the Pattern loops, you can add more 
layers until you are satisfied.  Note that the 
Quantization and Swing settings will affect 
how your pattern is recorded.   
 
 
 

 

You can layer sounds from any of the three categories (Drums, Percussion, 
Bass) by pressing the corresponding button (DRUMS, PERC, BASS) and then 
playing out a sequence on the pads. 

 

 

If you make a mistake while recording, you can erase the sound while the Pattern is 
looping by holding down ERASE then holding down the pad corresponding to the sound 
for the duration which you would like to erase.  

 

 
 

 
Once you are satisfied with the Pattern you have recorded, press the STOP button to stop 
the recording. 
 

 
To hear the Pattern, press the PLAY button. 

 

 

 
To record more Patterns, select another Pattern with the INC / DEC buttons or VALUE dial, 
and repeat the procedure above. 
 
 
 
 

 

The SR18 allows you to mute any of its three instrument layers (drums, percussion, bass) in real-time. 
 

 

For example, you can mute the drum track by holding down MUTE and then pressing 
DRUM.  To un-mute the drums, press the DRUM button again while MUTE is being 
held down.
