1.2F Physical Layout
The SR-16 includes seven main types of controls, along with a group of connectors (located
on the back panel). The control groups (see diagram) are:
Pads (play buttons). Tapping each button triggers an SR-16 voice.
Function buttons. These six buttons select various functions, some of which include multiple
"pages" of options.
Tempo/Page buttons. These alter the tempo and also select different "pages" present in the
Drum Set, Record Setup, MIDI Setup, and Backup functions.
Pattern select buttons. These choose between the A, B, and Fill variations for a Pattern.
Mode buttons. These choose between Pattern and Song modes, Perform (playback) and
Compose (record) modes, and the Preset and User patterns.
"Tape recorder" buttons. These control playback and stop, and work similarly to a tape
recorder.
Display and data entry buttons. The display informs you of the instrument's status, and also
prompts you for data from time to time. A detailed description of the display follows shortly.
The data entry buttons include number entry buttons (0-9) and up arrow (increment, or INC)
and down arrow (decrement, or DEC). The latter increase or decrease parameter values on
step at a time.
Huge volume knob. If you're used to scratching a turntable, you'll love the feel of this knob. It
regulates the volume of the entire unit.
