Yes. Same encoders that are on the new mk2’s and digi boxes.

All of my encoders were REALLY bad.
The encoders feel better than my digitakt ones do now. It feels like a completely different machine.

The+Drive is sweet.

All of these upgrades to this box has made me put the digitakt away for the time being.

Damn it. It’s the only flaw.

That makes it only “fair” condition on reverb, right?

#802

I feel your pain. Mine is peeling in the exact same spot.
I don’t think I’ll ever recover what I spend on the device, all 975$ of it.

probably the freshest on planet earth at this very moment.
(apart from those fiends with a mint unopened unit…)

#804

The memory batteries inside need changed. So maybe mine is more fresh than a minty?. :wink:

Might as well throw it away.

#806

I have one of those but the battery is not as new.

I wonder what the screen protector would fetch on Reverb?

Think I can peel off the screen protector and say, “Original Machinedrum Screen Protector - Like new, but corner is peeling - 50$” ?

How many watchers do you think it would get?

Genuine electrons pumped from the MachineDrum PSU – very energetic!

MD batteries $2500, free MD included. No refunds.

#810

You’d have better luck selling it as a monomachine screen protector. Some people seem like they’d pay to just lick one.

I made a tonal chart for everyone.

MD Pitch = Note

Simple as that.

PU & SW tonal chart.pdf (42.4 KB)

(Only applies to GND-PU & GND-SW)

This works for the GND-SN also but it’s an octave higher than whats shown.
Ex:
46 - C4 (261.63 Hz) instead of C3 (130.81 Hz)
64 - A4 (440 Hz) instead of A3 (220 Hz)

Let me know if any of it is wrong. I went to sleep with this idea & started it as soon as I woke up.
So it may have an early morning error or three.

The octave offset is not the same for all machines.
But otherwise looks about right.

#815

I thought so after I tested this I rechecked the Hz. Woops

#816

I didn’t even see you can change to tonal on other machines 0.0

Looks like I’ll need to make a few different charts
