Thanks to its 64-voice polyphony and a new high-performance sound chip, the MC-505 Groovebox offers 512 of the fattest sounds on the dance music scene. 26 specially-created onboard rhythm kits deliver low kicks, snares and hits galore, meaning that from the latest lo-fi techno and hip-hop sounds to all those classic Roland drum and synth sounds (TB-303, TR-808, TR-909, Juno, Jupiter, et al.), the MC-505's got it covered. And to ensure that groove-heads get exactly the sound they're after, the 505 offers steep filtering, ADSR envelope controls, enhanced LFO and Filter/Amplifier controls and a Low Boost knob with an Octave switch (warn the neighbors now).
Making full use of these sounds, the MC-505 features 712 preset dance music patterns, ranging from the latest Trance, Ambient, and Drum 'n' Bass grooves to Reggae, Old-School, Funk and HipHop. These patterns were developed by some of the world's foremost sound designers, and they can be used "as is" or edited and combined into unique new User patterns
