The Best Grooveboxes To Buy in 2022 (So Far) 

Polyend Tracker in use here. It grows on you and I love the portability. I haven't checked out the Deluge yet but I hear great things about it.

Very excellent narration and factoids. I enjoyed this older education. When's the update ye Mr. Groover Man?

IMO the MC-101 isn't just a smaller sized MC-707, the 707 can sample directly into the device from any audio source and has a full blown synth engine, you don't even need Zenology Pro to edit and create patches from scratch with it. I'd say the 707 easily enters the workstation territory.

Fun video, thanks!

Still rocking the MC-707 in 2023...Great piece of kit!

polyend tracker ftw most full featured actually mobile production center you can have outside a laptop. even has mic inputs and a fucking _radio so you can sample whatever is in the airwaves._ which is absolutely insane to me even now

I’ve owned all of them and the MC707 is the one still on my desk and in use. The far superior sound engine. A pretty amazing sequencer (could be better but it’s incredible regardless), great efx and efx routing, faders (lets not underestimate the faders), and a lot more.

Love my circuit tracks it changed my whole workflow for the better!

Dirtywave M8 ftw

You didn’t even mention the top 3- Deluge, maschine + and the MPC live2/one.

- 'use' refers to making use of something within its limitations, whereas, 'utilize' indicates using something beyond its main intended purpose.

Deluge . But all are great! Buy them all!

What about the Synthstrom Deluge? That is the best Groovebox imo.

I have all elektrons, live2, Maschine+, Op1 and Deluge…. But I still miss my MC707, which I’ve sold with regrets.

Missing the true king, the Deluge.

What, no MPC One?

Mpc one can do it all I have tried everything else don’t even come close it’s the Swiss Army, knife and Chameleon of music production

I still have my og mc303

Why is he calling Zencloud and ZenCore "Zed"?

MC-707

electribe

who's Zed? 😁

No bullshit. Dig it

Wtf is zedcore?

Zedcore.

microfreak.👍

Or you could buy a drum kit.

Hmm 2022 still boring I'll stick with my SP-404

All I needed to know was..."you can buy more sounds on the Roland cloud". NOT INTERESTED!!!! In either the Roland money pit, the AKAI money pit, or the NOVATION money pit. All these "influencers" telling folks to buy this crap, so you can spend all your money downloading their sounds... LOL!!! Are we not suckers? Of course.. no mention of the supplied sounds "sucking".

If you’re into rock, don’t bother, get an electronic drum kit and use in combo with your DAW. Way way better.

RIP David Bowie

this presentation is quite superficial

I sold on Reverb until a buyer claimed my USED tascam tape player didn't work and Reverb FORCED me to pay for the return. Guess what, it worked 100% when i got it back. So i paid for shipping, TWICE and my 424 was back in my hands, Music Go Round took it off me, confirmed no problems with the unit. F U Reverb!

Thanks for not playing any of them! Completely useless video.

They might be good just make sure you don't buy them from the scammers that are Reverb

I wouldnt like these plastic toys for free. They only look good just like any other cheap crap from China full of led lights and nothing else.

Akai Force is the most complete and badass beast.
