Desktop
studios always seem to involve a compromise between what
"works" and what "fits." Edirol has given you a new
keyboard controller option that does both! The new PC-80 keyboard
controller has 61 premium full-size, velocity-sensitive keys that will
fit perfectly on your desk. The Edirol PC-80 offers the best value for
music labs and simple home studios. The PC-80 is specifically built to
offer you exactly what you're looking for - a well-built, expressive
MIDI controller that is compact and easy to use.
New keyboard mechanism for easier, more consistent playing feel
The
PC-80 has a new keyboard mechanism built with the latest technology
taken from Roland's 30 years of synth development. The PC-80's new
keyboard mechanism features re-designed keys that are more rounded for
a better response to your touch, particularly in glissandi. The
keyboard is specifically designed to offer a wide dynamic range with
incredible subtlety. The PC-80's new key assembly also reduces
mechanical noise and eliminates vertical shake in the key stroke.
Customize your PC-80's feel
In
order to adapt to every player, the PC-80 includes four different
velocity curves and three different levels of sensitivity. That's 12
levels of adjustability so you can find the exact match to your own
playing style. The PC-80 can also output "fixed" velocity able
from 1-127, which makes percussion programming easier.
No need to make extra room!
The
PC-80's chassis is only slightly larger than the actual controls,
saving you valuable space on your desktop. It also offers convenient
access to all of the ports from the left side of the device, including
USB, MIDI OUT, hold pedal, and expression pedal. This allows the PC-80
to sit directly in front of a monitor or laptop computer without
wasting desktop space for cable connections.
Three power sources for convenience
The
PC-80 can be used with or without a computer. When used with a
computer, the PC-80 can draw power and send MIDI over the USB port,
allowing you to reduce the clutter of having another device to plug
into your power strip. The PC-80 can also draw power from an optional
AC adapter or from four AA batteries, allowing you to use the PC-80
anywhere you want to take it. Compact, great-feeling, and versatile,
the Edirol PC-80 is your desktop music solution!
