• Hold pedal jack
• Power indicator

• Octave shift
• USB jack, Octave shift
• Power indicator,USB jack, Octave shift
• 27 Individual Fully-assignable Controllers

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, plus 32 keys, 27 assignable MIDI controllers, a software editor, MIDI input and output, and sustain and expression pedal connections. Advancement the PCR-M30 has over the PCR-30: the addition of velocity curves, a switchable MIDI interface, and a new key-action found on Roland’s higher-end synths that provides less mechanical noise while offering a consistent, playable feel. The pitch-bend/modulation controller has a new rubber coating for easier grip.

High-Quality Mechanism for the Serious Player
With a newly designed key mechanism — derived from Roland’s 30 years of synthesizer development — players can control a wide dynamic range with incredible subtlety. The redesigned keyboard is more comfortable to play and provides a better reaction to the player’s touch. In addition, changes have been made to reduce the mechanical noise and eliminate vertical shake on the key strokes. The newly developed pitch-bend/modulation controller is friendlier to use and more expressive.

PCR Editor Software & Downloadable Memory Sets
The PCR-series keyboards work with all major music applications, and are equipped with user-memory locations to store up to 15 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, and Mac OS 9.x.

Feature List

• Twelve Selectable Velocity Curve Combinations
  Pick from 12 velocity curves to precisely match your playing style. As the PCR-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 can output a constant fixed velocity (from 1 to 127) providing practical input for drum and percussion programming in step recording.
• 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-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 PCR-M30 is compatible with FPT (Fast Processing Technology). This technology is independent of the music application you are using. It provides stable, high speed, low latency, and low jitter MIDI transmission.
• 27 Individual Fully-assignable Controllers
  The PCR-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.
