Groovebox by Roland Corporation

The Roland MC-303 Groovebox, released in 1996, combined a sample-based sound engine drawing on Roland's classic drum machines with a built-in pattern sequencer in a tabletop unit. Marketed to dance-music producers, it popularized the 'groovebox' format and launched Roland's long-running MC series.
