| Notes | The original Machinedrum was the SPS-1 released in 2001. The SPS-1UW was released in 2005 with a new "user wave" sampling engine. The improved SPS-1 MKII and SPS-1UW MKII models were released in 2007, followed by the SPS-1UW+ MKII in 2010 which came with the +Drive FLASH ROM expansion pre-installed. The Machinedrum was discontinued in June 2016.
