Whereas the sounds in the HR16 were farily 'standard' and arguably a bit boring, the sounds in the B were altogether 'cooler' and more modern - more 'produced' if you like - and had more in the way of 'sound effects' (glass smashes, vocal 'pa' and 'pop' samples, metal cans, etc.).
Functionally, however, the HR16B was identical to the HR16 although a function was added to the HR16B that allowed both machines to be used as one instrument."
