Need a keyboard that takes up little space?
In the end, the Roland seems to take the most beefy on stage.
Works on all midi channels.
Pitch bend and modulation.
Good dynamic keyboard.
Low Price.
UTILIZATION
Good touch
Configuration is very simple, but impractical live. Everything is done by entering numbers with the keyboard.
The manual is nikel.
Ah, the joystick bend / modulation is not top nikel him.
The modulation is a bit "all or nothing". When the bend on my model, you have to press hard enough on the right to have the last 1 / 2 ton (about 1 octave). On the left, it sticks. A defect or series I fell ill? Check this store. I realized rather late because I use the functions of "tuning" of the Groovebox it controls the bend of the keyboard.
OVERALL OPINION
Using this keyboard for a year, I am satistait, including quality. He knocked a lot on stage and doing well.
Probably one of the best choices for studio or live without the need to change settings from the keyboard.
To live with the change of parameters, prefer a machine with lots of buttons.
The price seems justified given the quality / strength that seems a cut above the other products I've seen.
[edit my notice in January 2003: After walking along many keyboards master, it appears that the feel of the PC-160A is really excellent. One of the best I've seen in the light touch. With its build quality, that justifies every penny. I stopped using it some time because of the extended keyboard too small for my needs, but with the purchase for a MIDI patchbay, it seems that he will again join my config stage. If I claim, it will be only buy MIDI]
