Edit: Just added one more Groovebox (Korg Electribes) thus making the list to 10 of Best Today’s Grooveboxes for Electronic Music. Initially released as a commercial failure, Roland drum machines like TR-808, TR-909, and bassline TB-303 was released as a synth-based, affordable alternative to a Linn drum computer which using real samples.

The Roland MC-505 is a groovebox conceived in 1998 as a combination of a MIDI controller, a music sequencer and a drum machine, and also has some of the prime features of synthesizers: arpeggiator, oscillators, voltage-controlled filter, control of attack, decay, sustain and release. It was released as the successor to the Roland MC-303 and is a compact version of the Roland JX-305 Groovesynth without the full set of 61 keys. It is also the predecessor to the Roland D2, Roland MC-307, Roland MC-909 and the Roland MC-808.

Features[edit]

The key features of the MC-505 are:

• 64 voice polyphonic digital subtractive synthesis engine (derived from the Roland JV-2080) with 251 different oscillator, acoustic and drum sample waveforms
• 512 built-in preset sounds, 256 user sounds & 26 rhythm sets (includes the Roland CR-78, TR-808, TR-606, TR-909, TR-707 and R-8)
• 8-track MIDI sequencer + Mute Ctrl Track
• Recording length of up to 32 bars per pattern
• 714 preset sequencer patterns, 200 user patterns, 50 user songs
• 3 multi-effect units: Reverb, Delay and 24 different EFXs
• Infrared D-Beam controller for hands-free sound modulation
• MEGAMix function for intuitive realtime mixing of beats and patterns
• 5 volt Smartmedia card slot for doubling user patch and pattern memory

Criticisms[edit]

The Roland MC-505 has no sampler. The size of the LCD screen makes it difficult to read each feature setting, and over time the LCD screen would lose pixels (which in some cases renders the screen unreadable; this is called 'display bug' by some users). This issue is due to the heat on the LCD screen-PCB board, the lamination between the crystal and the PCB is opening/splitting up from the little heat inside the Roland MC-505 from prolonged use. Roland has fixed this by updating the LCD screencomponent.
