Do you want to control it via MIDI or do you want to get the audio into the computer?

I Have a 303 groovebox, and did have it sync'd up to the computer. It's best in "Sound module mode" (read the manual) and you can then control the parameters from cubase, either using NRPN's or using an external controller (such as Keyfax Fatboy (Fatboy II)) - please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions on how to do this!! I know MIDI implementation and programming NRPN's is a bitch to get your head round but it really does pay off to read the manual and read it again until you've got your head round it, there are examples to follow which help quite a bit!!
If you want my true advice though, sell the Groovebox (it's not that good really) and use the money to buy a copy of Propellerheads Reason software (and a computer upgrade - if you need one!) - that will do more than your groovebox, sounds much much better and can be upgraded - the sounds won't date! the groovebox is really a glorified drum machine (and not a particularly versatile one at that (mine's geen gathering dust for about 2 years!!!) Good luck

p.s. I don't work for Propellerheads marketing department - I really am sold on this software!!!!
