MIDI Keyboard Controller
Introducing the new standard in MIDI keyboard controllers, with Edirol's S.L.I.M. design, and features for a wider range of MIDI applications.
The PCR-M1 has the same S.L.I.M. keyboard as in the PCR-1. Edirol has devised a new keyboard action technology known as S.L.I.M. (Short-stroke Low-profile Impact Mechanism) that allows a compact MIDI keyboard to maintain reasonable playability.
The PCR-M1 is just over one inch thick & weighs 2 lbs 11oz. Ideal for the traveling musicians, the mobile DJs, and the home recording musicians working with limited space.
The PCR-1 offers 8 assignable knobs, 6 assignable buttons, and 2 assignable pedal ports. Shift button changes the assignable parameters in 8 knobs & 3 of the 6 buttons for a total of 27 controllable parameters per a control map.
The new improved pitch bender in the PCR-M1 can make continuous change.
The PCR-1 offers 16 different save locations for control maps. With 27 parameters available per control map, the PCR-M1 offers control over a total of over 400 parameters held in the memory of the keyboard.
It is easy to connect the PCR-M1 to a MIDI device with just one cable. The PCR-M1 can export the same MIDI signals to both USB and MIDI cable at the same time. It is very convenient.
The user can connect Roland's EV-5 Expression pedal or DP-2 or 6 Sustain pedal to the PCR-M1 directly. Control parameters through these ports are full assinable. For these jacks, a pair of PEDAL conversion cables (1/8" TRS to 1/4" female) comes with the PCR-M1.
* Pedals are sold separately.
The PCR-1 was specifically designed for mobile computer musicians. The PCR-M1 is also designed for mobile musicians. It is very convenient that the PCR-M1 has 3 choices of power supply. The user can play it at any scene.
The parameters in memory set location are fully compatible with the other PCR keyboard line, PCR-1, PCR-30, PCR-50, PCR-80, and PCR-A30. It means the PCR-M1 users can also get the common benefits there are various kinds of downloadable memory sets on the web.
The PCR-1 comes with a copy of the PCR-Editor in the box. The PCR-Editor is a powerful program that greatly eases the process of creating control maps for the PCR line of keyboards. Compatible with Mac OS X, 9, and Windows.
For frequent portability, a cloth-made Gig bag comes with the PCR-M1, as well as the PCR-1.
The PCR-M1 is also equipped with V-LINK that allows you to trigger and control video material in real-time via the EDIROL Realtime Video Presenter such as PR-80 (sold separately).
