Customer Reviews
OUTSTANDING!
I bought the PCR-500 to use with Sonar 7 PE, and have had ZERO problems so far.
The keyboard itself is very nice, both in quality and design. While
this is my first controller keyboard, I have used a number of synths
and basic portable polyphonic keyboards.
I won't waste time spouting out features when it's far easier to
just go to Roland's site and see the details. Suffice to day, the
keyboard does what it's designed to.
I just installed the drivers, set my midi in/out in Sonar, picked a softsynth, and was good to go.
For me the PCR-500 was the perfect size for the space I have. If I
had more room I'd of gone for the larger PCR-800, so keep space in mind
when you choose a model to get. The PCR-300, 500, and 800 all have the
same exact control surfaces and abilities, just a different number of
actual keys. And honestly the number of keys doesn't matter because you
can always change the octive up or down using either a set of buttons
on the keyboard, or via your DAW application.
What I like the best though... it's USB bus powered. Rock on!
