Edirol PCR-M30



Edirol PCR-M30 MIDI Controller, 32 key, 27 controls

The PCR-M30 is a revised version of the popular PCR-30 MIDI Keyboard Controller.
Like the PCR-30, the PCR-M30 offers direct connection to the computer through USB,
32-Keys, 27 assignable MIDI controllers, a software editor, MIDI input and output,
and both sustain and expression pedal connections. Some advancement the PCR-M30 has
made over the PCR-30 includes the addition of velocity curves, switchable MIDI interface,
and a new key-action found on Roland's higher-end synths. The PCR-M30's key-action
has been refined to produce even less mechanical noise than its predecessor and
offer a consistent, playable feel. The keys themselves are slightly more rounded
to keep your fingers from tripping over the keys during quick glissandi.
The Pitchbend/Modulation has a new rubber coating for easier grip.

High Quality Mechanism for the Serious Player
With a newly designed key mechanism --- taken from Roland's 30 years of synthesizer
development --- players can control a wide dynamic range with incredible subtlety.
The re-designed key assemblies have a rounded shape for better reaction to the players
touch and more comfortable glissando, plus changes have been made to reduce the already
low mechanical noise of the PCR-80 and eliminate vertical shake on the key strokes.
The newly developed pitch bend and modulation design offers you easier and more expressive
control. All these features add up to a keyboard that even the most discerning player
can appreciate.

Comprehensive Connectivity for Maximizing Player's Performance
Connect everything with one USB cable. Since the power is supplied from
the computer,
no AC adaptor is needed. The same USB connection provides MIDI IN and OUT
ports that allow the keyboard to function as a MIDI interface to other external
MIDI devices. It addition to this, all the information from keys and controllers
can be sent through the MIDI OUT port so that you can control both software and
external MIDI devices at the same time (MIDI Interface mode = OFF). With the
interface mode turned on, the PCR-M80/M50/M30 can control multiple applications
at the same time. Control your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and software
synthesizer at the same time. The MIDI processing in the PCRM80/ M50/M30 is
compatible with FPT (Fast Processing Technology). This technology doesn't depend on
music application you are using. It provides stable, high speed, low latency,
and low jitter MIDI transmission.

27 Individual Fully-assignable Controllers
The PCR-M80/M50/M30 provides you with 8 knobs, 8 sliders, 9 buttons, and 2
pedal ports. These controllers can be assigned to any MIDI message, Control
Change (CC), RPN, NRPN, System Exclusive and more. You get to choose what
parameters to control in your MIDI hardware and software to create the perfect
playing environment.

Twelve Selectable Velocity Curve Combinations
Pick from 12 velocity curves to precisely match your playing style. As the
PCRM80/M50/M30 has 4 different velocity curves and 3 kinds of sensitivity
(Light, Medium, and Heavy), the player can find the combination that perfectly
suits them and can produce the precise MIDI performance and programming of a
true professional. In addition a Fixed Velocity Mode is provided where the
PCR-M80/M50/M30 always outputs a fixed velocity (from 1 to 127) providing
practical input for drum and percussion programming in step recording.
PCR Editor software and Downloadable Memory Sets (Control Maps) on the web
The PCR series keyboards work with all major music applications, and are equipped
with user memory locations to store up to 15 different control maps. PCR Editor
software for use with the EDIROL PCR Keyboard Series is included. The
PCR Editor allows for extensive and convenient control of the PCR keyboards
from a PC or Mac. The PCR Editor is designed to assist in creating control
maps for the PCR and allow users to quickly and easily make assignments to
any of the 27 assignable controls. This powerful software also allows the user
to copy system exclusive messages for the PCR into a sequence so the controls can be
mapped or changed during a sequence. In addition to offering easy implementation of
different MIDI messages, the PCR Editor also allows the user to specify minimum and
maximum values for each control. Supports Win98/Me/2000/XP, Mac OS X & Mac OS 9.x.
