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.
It looks small, but it is huge inside.[citation needed] It has realtime and step record modes. It has the megamix option, which is a complicated but nice feature.
