Question Hello Jason. I just bought a Alesis SR-16. It says right on it that it is a Stereo sampler. In the manual it says that your can dump info off a tape onto the Alesis. I have CD table tops connected to a dj mixer, which is connected to a mixing console. I do not have a tape player. I tried connected the out of my console to the tape in/out of the Alesis to see if I can dump my cd's on the Alesis. My question is, is there anyway I can sample my cd's onto the Alesis SR-16. I hope I can, and I hope you have the answer. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon. Lloyd
Answer Hi Lloyd, from what I've seen the SR-16 is a drum machine & not a sampler, so I don't know if it can actually sample at all. Sorry I can't help you further, but I think you have the wrong tool for the job. If you want to sample from your tables, just get a 2 or 4 channel audio interface & record into a computer on whatever software you're most familiar with. Hope that helps, if you need anything else, just drop me a line.
Peace - J.
