THE STORY OF THE MACHINEDRUM

+DRIVE FEATURES

The Machinedrum SPS-1UW+ MKII comes with the +Drive installed by default. A +Drive

allows for thousands of patterns, sounds and songs to be stored internally and more or less

instantly recalled. The +Drive also makes it possible for Machinedrum UW versions to host

thousands of ROM samples organized in 128 Sample banks. All Machinedrum models can

be upgraded with a +Drive. Read more about the +Drive settings on page 76.

The +Drive adds 128 Snapshots. A Machinedrum Snapshot can contain up to 128 patterns,

64 kits, 32 songs and 8 globals. If the Machinedrum is a UW model, each Snapshot is also

linked to a Sample bank. A UW MKII Sample bank consists of 48 ROM sample slots. A UW

MKI Sample bank consists of 32 ROM sample slots. Sample banks can be dynamically

switched within a Snapshot.

When you load a Snapshot it is transferred to the Battery Backed Memory of the Machine-

drum. From here you can edit the patterns, kits, songs and globals of the Snapshot. In the

case of UW models, the Sample bank associated with the Snapshot is transferred to the

DSP.
