Roland MC-505 - Groovebox

The Roland MC-505 is a professional groovebox with a powerful sound source. The concept of combining components such as synthesizers and drum machines in inexpensive devices followed Roland with the groove boxes MC-303 (1996) and the successor MC-505 (1998). I used the sounds of the Roland MC-505 in projects from 2000 to 2011. However, I have already sold this groovebox.

The MC-505 Groovebox builds upon the successful Groovebox MC-303 with its proven classic design. It features a dance music sequencer, a sound source with top-notch sounds and unusual, futuristic control features such as the light-sensitive D-Beam controller and the MEGAMIX, allowing you to mix beats and pattern patterns intuitively in real-time. This makes the MC-505 the ultimate DJ, hip hop, techno and dance machine.

The most important features

64-voice polyphony, steeper multi-mode resonant filters, front-panel ADSR envelope controls
714 onboard dance music patterns
512 built-in sounds and 26 rhythm sets, including dance, hip-hop and techno music sounds and classic drum and synth sounds (TB-303, TR-808, JUNO, Jupiter, etc.)

MEGAMix function allows for intuitive pattern creation by combining rhythms and parts of one pattern with another
