Preinstalled and downloadable Control Maps - the PCRs come preloaded with control maps for popular software such as Sonar, Cubase, ProTools LE, Digital Performer, etc. In addition a downloadable area has been setup to house new mappings as they become available. Users are also invited to submit their own maps. Edirol currently maintains this PCR community of control maps & templates available to the public at www.edirol.com/products/info/pcr/control_maps.html Transpose function: the PCR-keyboards have a handy transpose function that allows the user to play difficult key signatures in easier keys. Expression pedal: the PCR-keyboards are the first line of USB controller keyboards with an expression pedal connection, opening a new level of control to the computer musician. Integrated 1x1 MIDI interface: when connected through USB, the PCR-keyboards offer 1 MIDI IN & 1 MIDI OUT for connecting other gear to the computer. Powerful Software Editor: the PCR-80 includes the PCR-Editor, designed to streamline the process of creating control maps for the PCRs.
