SOUNDS

Most all of the drum machines and generators of today are all software based. It was sort of like a breath of fresh air to get to use a hardware unit that can do what software drum machines can do plus more! It gives you real-time control and 130 MD machines. If you want you can even expand the drive to 6000 ROM samples.

OVERALL OPINION

The Machinedrum SPS-1 UW MKII does have 64 kits and 128 patterns for each individual song. There are 2 ¼ inputs on it and 6 ¼ outputs, including a headphone output. This unit is very portable and can be taken anywhere with you because it only weighs around 5 pounds and is about a foot wide. It comes with everything you need right out of the box to start using it right away. If you are into sound creation, this is where you need to invest your money. I love the Machinedrum SPS-1 UW MKII; it has added some much needed creativity to my set up.

Everything you need ...
Note that the version of Drive + tends Whereas the memory.

UTILIZATION

The least we can say is it's super intuitive, as long as you know it vaguely synthse, we know what a filter, EQ, delay, a compressor and a reverb.
The manual is in English. But it is very clear. It does not tell: some features are "hidden". See here for a great add-ins: http://tarekith.com/assets/machinedrum_tipsandtricks.htm

SOUNDS

The sound is really impressive. This is BIG.
The sound palette is broad, but still sounds cool Plutt guides and very electronic.
The reverb is not great.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three days. I have already taken over the machine, at least enough to really enjoy myself.
Until the software I am Plutt. In a sense, make rhythms on this machine is a real breath of fresh air. I had a time electribe red, but there's really no comparison to ....

+ What I like: Parameter locks, a fawn gniale adapted to the rhythm of automation.
What I like -: Safeguards. A pattern is chang chang. Basically, we must make copies before making fufu, which is somewhat paradoxical.

The price? It's expensive ...
