certainly laptops are making in-roads. but i wouldn't say
that "grooveboxes" are falling out of favor entirely. the
roland MC-909 is an amazing beast of a machine, and
everyone electronic musician i know that's gotten one is
completely thrilled: great sounds, great control, great
sequencer, good sampler. USB compatible, stable, portable,
and easy to use. Also EMU is coming out with a new Command
Station, one based on the Planet Earth module, focused on
analog drum sounds. And, the MPC will never, ever go out of
style. Laptops are cool, but grooveboxes have their niche.
