Groovebox Showdown. How I picked my next groovebox (under 1000$)
I walk you through how I chose my next groovebox—what mattered, what didn’t, and why I finally picked one over others. If you’re weighing workflow, synthesis vs. sampling, budget, and long‑term usability, this one’s for you.
I looked at what I could get locally (used or new) for a max of around 1300CAN$ (1000U$).
Novation Circuit, Korg electribe, Roland MC-707, Polyend Play, Teenage engineering OP-1, MPC One , MPC Live, Digitakt, Digitone, Syntakt or ?
