50 x
Assignable
Controllers
The new PCR
Series offers all the
controls of previous models, but with the addition of even more
controls that
allow players to maximize the playability and operability of their MIDI hardware
and software.
Assignable
Controls
& 18 x Velocity Pads
The new PCR
Series has all the existing
controls of the previous range, but adds exciting new features, such as
velocity pads — perfect for playing drums and triggering sampler
phrases. These
precision pads can operate as buttons or velocity pads, and the handy
LED
indicators identify which of the two modes is selected.
Unique
Crossfader &
Long-Throw Sliders
The new
Crossfader allows control of two
parameters at the same time, and can be used to control synthesizer
filters, DJ
gestures and more. The new longer-throw sliders can control eight track
faders
and one master fader, or function as organ drawbars.
High-Quality
Keyboards
with Aftertouch
The new
ultra-sensitive keyboards provide
a wider dynamic range under the player’s fingertips, while new
aftertouch
sensors allow the keyboardist to play more expressively. Smooth key
action,
keys shaped for comfortable glissando playing, silent operation, and
stable key
mounting all contribute to the enhanced playability of these keyboards.
Intelligent
“Dynamic
Mapping” and Editor Software
Dynamic
Mapping allows the PCR to
automatically assign its physical controls to the most important
parameters
(e.g. in the current window of the software being used). Fifteen user
memory
locations are provided for storing your favorite setups. When using
software
that’s not compatible with Dynamic Mapping, you can manually configure
the
Control Map settings from the PCR itself or the included PCR Editor
Software
(Mac or Win).
Side Panel
Connections
for Streamlined Routing
The rear
panel of the keyboard is free of
connections so that you can easily have a computer display (e.g. LCD
monitor),
ASCII keyboard, mouse & mouse pad, or laptop computer behind the
keyboard —
in the ideal position for use. This is especially beneficial for
educational
users in classrooms where space is often restricted. All connections
are located
on the left side - USB, MIDI IN/OUT plus separate Hold and Expression
pedal
ports. The PCR keyboard works with USB bus power. AC adaptor not
required. (The
optional PSB series AC Adaptor is sold separately.) A MIDI Merge
capability
from the MIDI input to
either the MIDI output (or
to the
computer via USB) is also provided, and is convenient for advanced MIDI systems.
