Roland D2

The Roland D2 Groovebox is a performance-oriented Groovebox (sequencer/sound module). It has Roland's D-Field Controller technology. It has all of the Roland MC-505 sounds and a similar sequencer. All of the MFX effects have sub-menus. The D2 has 100+ sub-menus to sub-sub-sub-menus, and this is why it has fewer buttons than other grooveboxes.
