Press Release from Edirol
Edirol Corporation today announces the
PCR-M line of MIDI keyboard controllers, building on the very popular
PCR-series. The PCR-M series includes the PCR-M80 (61 keys), PCR-M50 (49
keys) and PCR-M30 (32 keys).
The new PCR-M series keyboards offer a number of refinements to the PCR
line. Building on 30 years of Roland synthesizer key development, the
PCR-M's include a new high-quality key mechanism that offers a more
comfortable and playable feel that the serious player will recognize and
appreciate. The keys on the new PCR-M's are more rounded for quick
glissandi and the key mechanism produces even less mechanical noise than its
very quiet predecessor. EDIROL has also added rubber-coated knobs, 12
velocity curves and the ability to freely assign the keys to send through
USB, MIDI Out, or both at the same time. The PCR-M's allow the user to
decide exactly which controls affect computer software, which controls
affect outboard gear, and which affect both.
These new keyboards offer all of the benefits of the previous PCR line that
have made them a standard for musicians seeking a playable USB MIDI keyboard
controller, including: 27 controls assignable to any MIDI message, hold and
expression pedal connections, sturdy build-quality, and compatibility with
the Win/Mac PCR Software Editor. All of the online downloadable control maps
for all the major software applications and synths are backward-compatible
with the PCR-M series. Onboard FPT (Fast Processing Technology) is also
included which provides stable, high speed, low latency, low jitter MIDI
transmission regardless of the software application being used.
Suggested retail prices are $375 (PCR-M80), $285 (PCR-M50) and $225
(PCR-M30).
