The +Drive of the Machinedrum
SPS-1UW+ MKII divides the machine in 128 Snapshots. Each Snapshot can
contain up to 128 patterns, 64 kits, 32 songs, 8 globals and a sample bank
consisting of 48 ROM sample slots.
Either load a completely new
Snapshot or a single sample bank. When loading a new Snapshot, all
patterns, kits, songs, globals and samples are replaced by new
content. Loading a new sample bank will just replace the samples, all
other content of the current Snapshot stays intact. Load times for both
options are just a few seconds.
The +Drive gives the enormous
advantage of having thousands of patterns and sounds more or less
instantly available. Change Snapshots during a live performance for a
completely new session. Load a fresh sample bank and try it together with
your currently active Snapshot patterns and kits. With a Machinedrum
equipped with a +Drive, storage space is the last thing you need to worry
about.
All previous Machinedrum and Monomachine models
are possible to upgrade with a +Drive. When you buy a +Drive, you will
receive detailed instructions how to send in the unit for the
upgrade.
