DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MKI AND MKII MODELS
There exist a number of hardware differences between the MKI and MKII models of the
Machinedrum. Below is a compilation of the most important changes.
DESIGN
The height of the Machinedrum MKII is 63mm including rubber feet and knobs.
The height of a MKI unit including rubber feet and knobs is 77mm.
POWER SUPPLY
A switched-mode power supply is used for the MKII models which allow the units to be
used all over the globe without the need of voltage converters. The MKI models use an AC
power supply.
The output specification of the MKI power supply is: 6V AC, 2.5A, 50/60Hz. The plug size
of the MKI supply is the same as a MKII power supply.
S/N RATIO AND OUTPUTS
The S/N ratio of the outputs on the Machinedrum MKII is 100dB. The outputs of the MKII
units are impedance balanced.
The S/N ratio for a MKI unit outputs is 91dB and the outputs are unbalanced.
SAMPLER SPECIFICATIONS (UW MODELS ONLY)
The MKII has 48 ROM slots, 4 RAM machines and 2.5MB of sampling memory.
The MKI has 32 ROM slots, 2 RAM machines and 2.0MB of sampling memory.
PATTERN LENGTH
The pattern length of the MKII units can be up to 64 steps.
The MKI can have patterns containing a maximum of 32 steps.
