Edirol MIDI Keyboard Controllers

At the time of purchase (mabey 2 years ago?) this thing had some of the best features available... compared to today's standards though, it's lacking in a few areas, but still the basic bread and butter and is all you really need. wish it had play, scrub, record, stop, etc. buttons though : Price paid $230 USD UTILIZATION You can use the editor (download from edirol site), or if you got reason 3, it automatically recognizes it and you don't have to do jack! the interface is a bit cryptic. this is where i have my gripe with the pcr 50... at first i thought this thing was really good quality, it feels as if it's pretty good, but then the middle black key in the lowest octave stopped working. i took a can of air and stuck it right between the keys, dust busted it, and then it worked (sort of) a few months later, that key stoped working despite attempts to clean it. OVERALL OPINION I don't really care. controllers are over rated. gimme one with like 3 knobs and two sliders and a bunch of keys that work and i'm happy.
