Up for auction is an MC Roland Groovebox. It is used. Other than the broken knob, it's in working order. The manual has wear, including writing on the cover, but IS complete. Includes power adapter and instructions. Synth sounds are ok. Drum sounds are kick ass.
I've found that using the box with a visual sequencer cu-base is quite enjoyable. I can create 7 tracks with the mc and still have one sound to tweak on a sequencer.
Ive found that using the box with a visual sequencer cu-base is quite enjoyable. All you MC naysayers out there need to twiddle with a MC By far the, this is the best single piece of equipment I've used.
I use it with my computer synths and keyboards but, I really only need the This thing does everything. The only negative thing I have to say about it was the price. But, despite the high price, it was well worth it. By far the, this is the best single piece of equipment Ive used.
I like it. Eric Tan wrote: cool! Too simple Guiom wrote: Too simple Hey i own the MC and it's pretty Phat. The MC has blown me away. The keyboard sounds are are just what you need to fill a beat. Alfred J. I'm from moscow. I bot goove box 1 year ago, and I happy , becouse I make a good choise!!! Im from moscow. Yes I bought a groove box about a couple of weeks ago, my previous experience with techno music has basically been screwing around with old moog's and my one time about four hours with a TB I was like most kiddies hey I'm 17 , playing with Rebirth which is cool, but live performances?!?
You'd be booed off the dammed stage if you dragged a laptop etc up. I bought the groovebox mc mind you with full knowlege of its limitations. I'm not about to go praising it all over the place, I am satisfied with the bass sounds and the drums, but some of the samples all those orchestra sounds? Nor does it do the duty of playing the all-in-wonder that people have mis named it. Buy it for what it's worth people. It's a fun little box, basically giving me a steady first experience with good equipment.
If you want to say all the samples suck and the memory isn't big enough, blah blah blah. But think about how much this unit cost. I got mine for less than bucks new. The things people try to compare it to cost over three times as much. Be creative with it.
Creativity is from the musician, and how they use the instrument, not from the musician blaming the instrument because it "doesn't sound like a TB". Quit bitching about it.

I bought this device thinking I would never be able to use all the user locations. However I am happy to see that the has plenty of memory. Great instrument but pitty about the lack of memory.
AU' ; insertatcursor document. Hi there The MC is quite cool after all. I like the sounds though their are not the originals.
But anyway, look at the bright side, the sound does not suck. They are quite good. I like the machine for what it is. Hi i own tha MC and my would have to be that this machine is very limited and i would rather of went for tha MC ADm- wrote After i got addicted to the MC I started looking for what to get next. Any suggestions? Join us grooving in Hawaii and check out the direct interrelation of music and design on this unbelievable webpage: www.
Small memory and non-editable sound. But the "punch in punch out" tracks in a pattern is useful and make you want to experiment. I do love my SIEL old analog synth. No synth under 20 knobs realtime knobs, that is. Martin wrote: Small memory and non-editable sound. But the punch in punch out tracks in a pattern is useful and make you want to experiment. I think as a first time shot at this kind of "everything in one" kind of machine they did a pretty good job.
As soon as the came out my friend picked one up and I do have to say that they definetly succeeded this time around. I think as a first time shot at this kind of everything in one kind of machine they did a pretty good job.
Email: Email supplied but hidden Activity: part-timer Date: Jan I think that for what you pay, it's an incredibly instrument. I think that with alot of creativity, some really good music could and is being made with this machine. Face it,!!! Look at guitars, all rock bands use them, and they all somehow sound different!!!
And I do have a real , some Junos and samplers. Paul R. How do I get more memory for my user patterns? Write me to Hawaii! I have been trying for seven months to connect it to cubasis anyway, and have spent an absolute fortune. I found the pattern based sequencer on this unit to be very creative and the step editing in particular is handy for creating drum patterns. However, the synth sounds are very poor - especially when modulating the sound eg. Also, the unit can only be used with an external sequencer in "Tone Module" mode.

My friend has an MC and from the time i have spent messing around with it and playing with the preset arpeggios and patterns and tapping out a few quick beats from the ambient, , , jungle, and house drum banks i've concluded that MC is worth the 6 or he paid for it.
Although it will never amount to the original TB it comes pretty close. It's, unfortunately, not analog and that really subtracts from the ability to shape your own patterns and arpeggiations. Being able to model an analog signal was true power compared to snagging a few fat digital arpeggios and laying them down with some drums, high hats, and snare drums. It's just NOT the same. Colin T.

Its, unfortunately, not analog and that really subtracts from the ability to shape your own patterns and arpeggiations. Its just NOT the same. It's OVERused! Try something new! Sequence in something new just change to a diff patch and give it a listen for chissakes! I just tinker, but am interested in finding some others with similar synths to pool resources and ideas with.
My tastes range from "gabber" to Vangelis, so don't hesitate to give me a shout. Its OVERused! My tastes range from gabber to Vangelis, so dont hesitate to give me a shout. I have had a MC for a while - it's cool in that it's all-in-one for a dirt cheap price - I agree that once you realise it's limitations, and see what is possible, you develop a thirst for something 'better' - I am however quite poor, but the combined with my amiga did me well - I am thinking of flogging the and putting some money to an ensoniq ASR-X - anyone have any thoughts?

If your a beginner.. Don't buy this MC It sucks.. Because you are very limited when it comes to composing. The 28 Voice polyphony is not for complex composition Sounds will eventually drop out.. So Instead If you are a beginner get a Roland W30 or Emax samplers , and the Atari for the same amount of dollars..
With this set up your pretty much all set Again Samplers have no limits Mark Christopher wrote: If your a beginner.. Dont buy this MC Please Respond. Roberto Gaona Jr. COM' ; insertatcursor document. I'm using it stricktly LIVE with 2 turntable settup and external effects.

Horrible piece of junk this , user un-friendly to the max. Very overpriced and buggy.

Well well Listen now and you may learn. Or at least so I have.
I bought the MC almost exactly a year ago, and to this date it remains my only piece of gear. How sad! I bought it because I had heard it live at The Party computer-freak gathering. And it sounded really cool!
Then again, he used Cubase, and I think he threw external samples on top of the mix. But I don't know for sure. Then one of my friends bought one, and often recommended it wildly. I started getting weird thoughts like "Wow! Just by using this cheap and cool-looking little box, I can make almost proffesional goa! How wrong I was. I won't say I was disappointed, but it was not what I had expected It stood around for a while, gathering dust. Then I went to London, and I had no computer or anything that could say a "bleep"-sound to oplay with for 5 months, until I brought my MC over here.
I've also bought a CD that contains music made using just the MC Of course it still has the unmistakeable MCsound, but it actually sounds great, 'caus its got this minimalistic feeling to it. And that, I think, is the correct approach.
Look at it as the compact little all-in-one machine, that you have to know, and love, to get something useable from. That way it becomes a challenge, and my CD shows me it's possible. Respect to the box! To those of u who hate it: what did you reckon you'd get?
A pro studio-in-one? For that kind of money? Respect the box as it is! Kilo: respect to your pages. They're way too cool!

Product: Roland - MC Name: b. I bought the as my first drum machine. Now that ive been in the world of drum machines for quite a while ive come to this conclusion. The is a great creativity machine, ive had a blast with it, but there is something about its sound, it sounds cold. Once you've played with it for a while you'll see what im talking about, at times it sounds just plain cheesy.
I guess i'll try running it through some acoustic or tube amp simmulator pedals or something. Once youve played with it for a while youll see what im talking about, at times it sounds just plain cheesy. I guess ill try running it through some acoustic or tube amp simmulator pedals or something. The sounds are pretty good at first sight but they are all very instant and superficial Machines like these are responsable for the fact that people aren't creative anymore with REAL synths and samplers Machines like these are responsable for the fact that people arent creative anymore with REAL synths and samplers The MC is a very poor peice of equipment.
A lot of the sounds are unusable. All the samples have huge problems where by they distort or "crunch" when you go up or down octives. Midi implementation is pethetic. The effects should be renamed noise and hiss generators. Due to the display it is only possible to edit one parameter at a time. The list goes on and on. Anyone giving this more than maybe 2 marks has obviously never used any proper equipement. If you are thinking of buying one don't, save.
If you've got one sell it and save and get some real equipment. All the samples have huge problems where by they distort or crunch when you go up or down octives. If you are thinking of buying one dont, save. If youve got one sell it and save and get some real equipment. This was the machine that started the mc, rm1x, electribe, ravolutions etc of this world even the djx, eg etc Okay nowadays you be wiser to buy a djx which is a steel for what you pay for it Anyweay dont this things becasue they're cheap and dirty en certainly dont compare them to units that are way more expensive That's like saying my bike is crap because you own a helicopter that is soooo much faster Anyweay dont this things becasue theyre cheap and dirty en certainly dont compare them to units that are way more expensive Thats like saying my bike is crap because you own a helicopter that is soooo much faster I bought one new when they first came out, sold it 6 months later, now I find that I could really use it's friendly 8 track sequencer more reliable than my mmt8!
BUT here are some good points: 1. Reliable live 6 hours running off a generator in a damp marquee - no probs 2. Excellent build quality 3. Cheap especially secondhand 4. Some about of the instrument sounds are quite usable I am going to buy another one, mad? But the fact remains that for what it is its pretty good value. I bet in 15 years time a new generation of kids will think its "tacky late 90's PCM sounds" are gritty, punchy and phat!
I bet in 15 years time a new generation of kids will think its tacky late 90s PCM sounds are gritty, punchy and phat! I have a prob. I'm at work but i think what happenes is that every time i hit Anybody recognize this, am I doing stuff wrong..
