Alesis HR-16 ROM replacement

[Gordonjcp]

I've figured out how to replace the samples and sample names in the Alesis HR16 and HR16B drum machines.

Have a look:

There's an example mp3:

It's not terribly easy to use or well-documented yet.  I will be spending more time on it ;-)

Is this the same as one the Burnkit site:

or is that actually you?

No, that was someone else.  Have a read of the burnkit HR16 forum - as well as creating new sample data I've disassembled the firmware ROM and been able to replace the sample names and sample start points (the end points are marked in the data).

Great job ! i'm very interested ! i gues it would be possible to piggyback as many roms as fit under the hood,
wouldn't it ?

[Gordonjcp]

Correct.  I'm about to do a dual ROM mod, but I need both clear bench space and some time ;-)

I'm in the IRC channel (#circuitbending on freenode) if you want to discuss it in a slightly more "real-time" way...
