I love the way the MD handles samples, but hate the fact that my particular machine can only hold about 20 one shot samples - so I’ve been pondering saving up for upgrading to a + Drive.
Have anyone on here done that? How long did it take? Did it cost much to ship the Machine back and forth? Was it worth it? 
Yep, it was worth it to me. If you like a diverse sound pool, having your 20 vs. having 128 * 20 is a big difference.
If you are in the US the shipping is $20-40 to GA. Shop time is typically 1-3 weeks but can be less.
Yeah, sounds mighty sweet. I’m in Norway, so shipping should be even quicker, I guess. Hmmm, I think I’ll go for this as soon as I have the money for it. 
My first Elektron was a secondhand MD MkII without a +Drive. I finally decided to upgrade it, but it wasn’t an easy decision – the combined price made it as expensive as a brand new unit (which now all come with +Drives).
Still, it’s a nice upgrade to have.
Hi, i know this is an old post. But i was wondering if you did the upgrade? I’m curious if the upgrade brings you also up to a UW with sample capability.
Or if upgrading to that is even an option.
I have an MK2 (non UW)
