Any MPE grooveboxes?

Apart from the Synthstrom Deluge and Squarp Hapax, are there any other MPE grooveboxes out there?

If not, I’m looking for recommendations for a non-MPE groovebox that can marry my Striso and AudioThingies MicroMonsta 2 together, with the goal of making tracks on the go. I would love to have two analog inputs and audio over USB to Android.

Upon reading your title, I came here to suggest the two that you summarily excluded.

Thanks for your reply nonetheless. Do you have experience using an iPad as a groovebox? I’m now looking into iOS apps as an alternative to hardware grooveboxes.

Drambo is your answer in iOS.

I absolutely love Drambo, but it doesn’t record mpe data on it’s own. You use Geert Bevin’s midi tape recorder tho.

The Retrokits RK-008 and Sequentix Cirklon 2 are hardware sequencers that work with MPE, but you need to be careful about the MIDI data transmission rate.

The Reliq Instruments Reliq is an upcoming MPE hardware sequencer.

Lastly, the midiphy LoopA v2, another hardware sequencer, is planned to have MPE support in the future.
