SR-16 Studio

SR-16 Studio

Hey everyone — I made SR-16 Studio, a small free web app for working with an Alesis SR-16 from a desktop browser.

It lets you:

  • Import MIDI drum loops and edit them in a 16-step sequencer
  • Build one- or two-bar patterns directly in the browser
  • Preview patterns on the actual SR-16 via MIDI
  • Select SR-16 drum kits, send test notes, and monitor MIDI messages
  • Send a compatible pattern to an empty User Pattern slot
  • Load, send, receive, and save SysEx messages
  • Keep a local pattern library in your browser — nothing is uploaded; import and export backups as JSON.

It is still early and made primarily around my own SR-16 setup, so I’d really welcome feedback from other SR-16 users.

I’d love feedback, bug reports, and ideas for where to take it next — especially around safely browsing memory dumps, longer arrangements, and kit mappings.

The SysEx pattern-transfer work is based on captures from a real SR-16 and has been tested with controlled writes to an empty User Pattern.

The app runs entirely in the browser and needs desktop Chrome or Edge for Web MIDI/SysEx.

A strange day : live lyrics

Hello

Can anybody help me with the live version of the first verse of "A Strange Day"?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzJUWfbx-T0

Instead of "The sun is humming, My head turns to dust."

I hear something like "My head is turning my hair into dust."

English is not my first language, so if you can decode that sentence for me, it would be cool, thanks ! ...
