Why did I get the Roland 303 Groovebox

[@georgegeez8708]

This was supposed to be my first piece of gear back in '97. It was priced at $800. I convinced by a friend of mine to buy an Akai MPC2000, in which I did. Fast forward to 2020, I ended up buying one for $130 used off of Craigslist in NY. It still is a great little machine. Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍

Many years ago I worked at a pro audio retailer. We all had access to the best synths of the time, but we all spent most time on the 303 !!

@leftmono1016 wow ain't that something.

[@MartinMartin-xm8xs]

I had 303 in late 90's I used for hip-hop at the time. In fact I liked it so much I upgraded to the mc505 when it was available. I liked it too. I've often considered getting a used one just to have it again but I'm limited on space.

[@DavidSheltonKCDJUnique]

I did use the 808 beats for some Hip-hop.

dope... i love the OG grooveboxes, i have a MC 909 now in my studio but I've had a bunch of em, the MC 303 was the heart of my set up back in the day and main sequencer.

@@RenniefosterRF you know the deal. Respect

303 Groovebox was the first piece of synth hardware I ever owned. My friend and I bought one at the same time and got a decent discount, was around year 2000 too. Those demo tracks you are playing brought back floods of memories. :)

[@ronmuckle8644]

Yeah I enjoyed that. I’ve been sat at 120bpm for a while this has inspired a quicker approach to some tracks.

[@tommykruesofficial]

Bruh This is just a whole tune.

[@mixalisstathis274]

So what's the difference to the TB 303?

[@DavidSheltonKCDJUnique]

The TB to me was for a Bass player to input notes. The 303 is a groovebox made for Techno and House. from my History.

Take anything underrated and overlooked and use it to destroy the universe.

[@agua9362]

[@qborphrenotekk]

Sorry, but could you please stop talking shit? No one is about this machine in our days.. Thanx..

[@DavidSheltonKCDJUnique]

I,ll make another just for you .

[@qborphrenotekk]

Sorry, but that is only click-baiting.. I had this machine myself, much fun.. But today it's just out..

[@phatplates]

It's all in the hands of the user. A skilled musician will make it work. A trash, fourth rate one would say that it's "out".
