Can anyone give me some info on the HR-16?  What's the
difference between the HR-16 and the HR-16:B?

We got an HR-16. It sounds great (16-bit samples), 
was a good value for the money, and has
two stereo audio outputs (4 jacks on the back.) 

disadvantages:
It has a user interface from hell, but then most drum machines do.
The power adapter runs so hot you can't touch it. I keep expecting it to
burst into flames.

When the HR-16 came out Alesis made much of the fact that it had just
solid percussion sounds on board, no novelty sounds.  Well the HR-16B is an
HR-16 with different sounds, including novelty sounds.
