Scrolling through Reddit one day I came across a post about aftermarket +Drives. I thought it wasn't legit, or rather, I didn't know what to think.
This is the thread: reddit.com/r/Synths4Sale/comments/1l1jzqa/wts_drive_extension_for_elektron_machinedrum
Well, my Monomachines are the MKI variety, and I got them a long time ago, sans +Drives (which I didn't even know what they were at the time). I got mine really cheap, and of course, now surprised for what they go for. Anyway, I was always a little bummed that I didn't have the drives in mine, although it's not the worst thing in the world to use the computer to offload the patterns/data and start fresh.
Anyway - I bought these aftermarket +Drives for a really good price, got two of them. The folks over at MachineStore (SyntheticJudah specifically) are awesome and the whole process from start to finish buying these things and getting them (well packed) to my house, was really excellent.
Here's some other places to find their stuff:

discord.com/channels/1253996827666153502/1374318858386800760
I'm looking forward to whatever they release next. You should check them out if you have Elektron gear :)
Used Eventide Blackhole VST for reverb.
