🎶 Why the HR-16 is legendary

The HR-16 is one of the most iconic drum machines of the late 80s and early 90s. It features:

• Tunable drum sounds
• Individual level controls for each sound
• Step or real-time pattern programming
• MIDI integration for sequencing and synchronization
• External clock input to sync with other vintage gear

This makes the HR-16 a fantastic bridge between vintage drum machines and modern MIDI setups.

🎧 The HR-16 has been used by artists such as:
Orbital, The Grid, Autechre, Sub Dub, Stereo MC’s and many others.

💎 A true vintage gem for producers, collectors and electronic music lovers.
