Edirol's PC-80 is probably the most unorthodox midi controller I've ever used, in that it has built-in speakers. Why did Edirol (or Roland, to be true) think that this bizarre idea was a good one? And were they right?

Wait, doesn't this have a built-in General MIDI 2 sound module? EDIT: Sorry, I misread the doc, it is in fact a GM2 application for the computer

It can use USB or MIDI.

Well not my cuppa BUT the additional routing options could be useful as long as plugging something into the Headphone outs doesn’t mute the other outputs. You could try: Phono outs > Kp3 or DJ looper/ Audio interface at line level. TRs Headphone out 1 to a ‘shared’ band amp with Aux input or second channel. TRs Headphone out 2 to say an FX loop or external processor? If that sorta works do you think you would do another vid trying it out? Jb x

Hmm yeah I see what you mean, and I can see the appeal ...that's a whole lotta cabling right there though!

If it had a MC-303 / MC-505 style sequencer, a SP 404 sampler + batteries it would be a perfect mobile studio on the go

Sure would. Or basically a Fantom that would run on batteries and not weight 100 tons. Would be awesome :)

PC-80 is primarily a “USB Audio Interface” so most of its functionality requires a computer connection. Unfortunately the driver software is incompatible with modern operating systems

Better to just use a 'toy' keyboard that has built in pcm sounds, bigger speakers and midi in/out.. this thing is just for practise or beginners.. the fact it has such small speakers baffles me..

I hear you. The keys are really nice, so i guess a pro might possibly be happy playing it if they were content with all the other weird aspects... :) #gearfacts
