All user reviews for the Edirol PCR-M80

I've been playing for 37 years in rock bands, improvisational groups, and at home. I like any music that is not strictly commercial, that attempts to make contact with the listener.

I bought it online about three months ago. I'm not sure who sold it to me. I paid the going price for it, whatever that was.

IT has eight sliders, eight knobs, and eight buttons for real time midi control, along with the 61 key keyboard and jacks for a sustain pedal and an expression pedal.

Every key in the second octave is problematic. Three of them don't work at all, the rest work sometimes, or when they are pounded really hard. Sometimes touching a key lightly produces the maximum velocity and what should have been a delicate little ghost note explodes in the middle of a phrase.
It is EXTREMELY frustrating to attempt to play this piece of junk.

IT looks well built and would be a very good piece of equipment if the darn keys worked when they were pressed.

Avoid it at all costs. It will only break your heart, and you will be tempted use a hammer on the non-working keys, which may lead to unjustified feelings of guilt on top of the feeling of stupidity at having bought it in the first place. Maybe they made some good ones, but mine sucks.

UTILIZATION

It's a beautiful remake by roland keyboard, the keys are mcaniques meileur quality of the Previous models. Unfortunately the keyboard key lgrement are too small to make accrobacies piano and the race is also of note is a short. "The crazy keyboard will understand me." It remains even when a good keyboard if the environment were looking for a compact and inexpensive. Difficult for pianists to play.
