With the MC-303, released in 1996, Roland established the sound of an entire generation. Since then, good groove boxes have been intuitive to use and suitable for creating both melodies and drums.
Rhythm, bass and effects – every groove box has its own groove
Whether digital , analog or hybrid - whether 8, 32 or 96 pads - whether polyphony or not: every groove box has its own distinctive beats and enables the creation of a wide variety of samples. It's no wonder that a well-equipped DJ today uses more than one of these devices. The large selection of brands is necessary to cover the range of possible uses.
Buy groove boxes online – what should you consider?
The first decision concerns sound generation . Should it be an analog circuit or sample based, like the Korg Volca Sample . The MPC from Akai or the Circuit from Novation , for example, offer digital sound generation . If you can't decide here, you'll find the Novation Peak, an excellent 8-voice polyphonic desktop synthesizer for very high standards.
Of course, the choice also depends on the area of application. Should the Groovebox be operated with a DAW? Then you need USB or midi connections . And how many connections should the device have for your use?
Once this fundamental decision has been made, we now go much deeper into the matter. Every groove box needs a sequencer – and there are very clear differences here. 16 steps are the minimum, but in many cases there are also 32 or even 64 steps. However, even on large machines, often only 16 LEDs can be controlled for running light programming . Nevertheless, a number of different patterns can be put together to form songs .
