Some musicians still preferred the original acoustic samples, so Alesis released a version of the 2.0 operating system for the original HR-16. The HR-16:B also came with an upgraded operating system, 2.0, that was more stable and had new features like SYSEX MIDI dump. Alesis later released the black HR-16:B which featured more “modern” electronic samples. The original grey HR-16 came with acoustic drum samples. Eventually, I’ll post more detailed info about these repairs… If you get into bending HR-16s, you will most likely end up having 3 or 4 HR-16s in various stages of disrepair, scavenged for parts for your one working HR-16.Ĭommon repairs are: replacing the internal battery, SRAM chip, volume and data faders, LCD screen, and repairing the button conductivity. I wouldn’t recommend it as a first bending project. Take a look at the service manual- it is a long list of repairs and upgrades. However, it can be a bit unstable, even when unbent. Like most digital drum machines from the 90s, the HR-16 is great for circuit bending.
