Edirol PCR-M30 32 key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller

admin — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 15:39:06 +0000

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 Rolandâ��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 â�� derived from Rolandâ��s 30 years of synthesizer development â�� 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 playerâ��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.

Novation Nocturn 25 USB MIDI Interface Keyboard Controller, 25-Keys, NOCTURN 25

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:26:38 +0000

The Nocturn Keyboard from Novation is an intelligent plug-in/sequencer controller. It is a high quality professional keyboard that plays like an instrument rather than a computer peripheral. With a high quality 'Fatar' keyboard, 8 velocity-sensitive drum pads, and a total of 33 MIDI assignable controls, the Nocturn allows you to get hands-on control of your plug-in instruments, effects and sequencer. Brightly lit 11-segment LED rings around the eight smooth encoders, and backlit buttons throughout provide instant visual feedback for every physical control. All 8 oversized encoders are touch-sensitive, bringing up mapping information and automation data on DAWâ��s with a â��touchâ�� mode. In addition to the high quality hardware, what really sets Nocturn Keyboard apart is the Automap control software, which is included with each Nocturn Keyboard purchase.

It allows you to map parameters in your software plug-ins straight to dials and buttons on the controller by simply clicking on a parameter, then touching the controller. The Automap feature also enables you to keep track of what assignments have already been made. Instead of a small monochrome LCD screen, Nocturn Keyboard displays control information where you really need it - on your computer monitor. The Automap software graphically displays Nocturnâ��s control surface. The controllers themselves also tell you what is going on: LED rings around the 8 encoders show their current settings, and LEDâ��s behind the buttons tell you if they are on or off. The Nocturn Keyboard can be set up for use as a serious DAW/sequencer controller, including its ground-breaking Automap control of all VST/AU/RTAS/TDM plug-ins. The Nocturn Keyboard is powered by USB-saving valuable plug sockets. It can also be powered down without being unplugged, preserving battery power in laptops. Fantastic build quality, true musical instrument feel and intuitive controls are just three of the many reasons why Novation's Nocturn Keyboard is simply a joy to play.
