All user reviews for the Roland PC-300 USB

- Keyboard 12:49 softkeys. Pitch wheel and modulation. Buttons octave up / down, one controller type 'slide' assignable (aftertouch, volume, etc ...)
- Connectors: midi out interface via a standard jack or USB dyn (in the case of USB, no need for the power supply, included). Taken to sustain pedals (not included)
- WARNING: This keyboard does not have knobs possde assige

UTILIZATION

The feel is expected of a small keypad this price (less than 200 Euros).
It is therefore necessary as keyboard input is labor's PC. To play, it's a fair bit, but it does.

The config gnrale and rglages (midi channels, etc.) are simplicity itself.
No manual, but there is no need.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks (I know it's a bit just to give an opinion)

(+) The USB (which allows you to add a MIDI keyboard in config without buying a "Merger")
(+) The lgret and simplicity of the keyboard (it emne everywhere, and it installs in 30 seconds)

(-) The quality of manufacture or plutt the matrial. Let me explain: The keyboard is nicely finished, well assembled, but for this price (keyboard only, no knob) I hope an aluminum frame (just as lightweight but stronger).
(-) The modulation wheel is slow in rising and redscend zero ds is released a little ... level expression of the game is not the top (I'm not talking about the touch, it is agreed)
I do it again this choice because in these prices, it's still the one with the most sober look and is cheap at the least touch. For cons I think this keyboard (like the others) are too expensive for manufacturing matrial (these are toys). O On the note.

CAUTION: If you do not need a USB connection, the PC180 buy plutt (40 Euros less, the keyboard is exactly the same)

I bought this keyboard mainly for the convenience of connecting via USB.

UTILIZATION

This keyboard fit my needs Maoist enthusiast and works without problems.

OVERALL OPINION

Today, USB is obsolete because ROLAND did not deem it necessary to provide driver for Windows Vista and Seven. Although the USB connection was the selling point of the product.

I guess the surprise will be the same for people today who buy the A-500S to the next Windows version change. Do not buy

Looking for a MIDI keyboard to use Cubase SX, Romand PC-300 provides the necessary options without needing farfetched.

On the rear, a power outlet. The choice between a USB or MIDI output. A function keyboard or PC. Sustain an input switch.

Crane, a touch bender / modulation, octave + / -, and a volume control (data entry).
Size: 80cm x 17.5cm x 8cm

Although plastic, it gives an impression of great strength.



UTILIZATION

The keys are a bit noisy, but the hit is nice. The operation is a very simple view of the low number of keys.



OVERALL OPINION

I use this keyboard for 3 years maintanance via the USB cable. He is my faithful partner in all my compositions and I in no way seeks to replace.

It plays its role which is the basic role of any basic midi keyboard: enter notes into grids midi sequencer.
Keyboard

Features are OK, not enough knobs in my opinion, pitch wheel, mod wheel, octave up and down, thats it pretty much.

UTILIZATION

I had to download a new driver for mine when I got it, other than that, pretty easy to use, plug and play mostly.

I've never had the unit repaired, seems to hold up pretty well to my banging.

OVERALL OPINION

I can't say that I really love it that much, its a decent MIDI controller, but I've seen much better. For free, I can't really complain, but there is noticeable latency with this device. Chances are that my computer is causing the latency, and not the PC-300, but that annoys me. A friend of mine uses an Oxygen 8 and a much older computer and has 0 latency. Overall, its probably the most used piece of equipment in my studio, but the least loved.
