Introducing the next generation of EDIROLs popular MIDI keyboard controllers. In addition to providing more physical controls than previous models, the PCR-300/-500/-800 also offers new innovative and intuitive controls. All three models are solidly built, and optimized for both music production and live performance.
The new ultra-sensitive keyboards provide a wider dynamic range under the players fingertips, while new aftertouch sensors allow the keyboardist to play more expressively. Smooth key action, keys shaped for comfortable glissando playing, silent operation, and stable key mounting all contribute to the enhanced playability of these keyboards.
The new PCR series has all the existing controls of the previous range, but adds exciting new features, such as velocity pads perfect for playing drums and triggering sampler phrases. These precision pads can operate as buttons or velocity pads, and the handy LED indicators identify if they are velocity or fixed-velocity.
The new Crossfader allows you to control two parameters at the same time, and can work as a DAW software control for zooming screen views, as well as for synthesizer filters and DJ gestures. The new longer-throw sliders can control eight track faders and one master fader, or function as organ drawbars.
Dynamic Mapping allows the PCR to automatically assign its physical controls to the most important parameters in the current window of the software being used. Fifteen user memories are provided for storing your favorite setups. When using software thats not compatible with Dynamic Mapping, you can manually configure the Control Map settings from the PCR itself or the included PCR Editor Software (Mac or PC).

EDIROL today announced the following R-09 optional accessories will shortly be available.
- Cover/Stand Set for R-09 (OP-R09C)
- Microphone Stand Adaptor (OP-R09M)
- Stereo Microphone (CS-15)
- Carrying Case for R-09 (CB-R09S)
First of these essential extras is the Cover/Stand Set (OP-R09). This provides a soft cover for the R-09 to protect against knocks and scratches and a compact tripod stand to provide a steady recording platform. The cover allows full operation of the R-09 and also gives you a belt clip for hands-free operation with an external mic.
And, together with the Cover (OP-R09C), you can fix the R-09 body and the cover on a standard sized microphone stand by using Microphone Stand Adaptor (OP-R09M). A full sized mic stand makes it much easier to record studio musicians, giving you full flexibility to capture the perfect sound.
If you want to advance your recording even further then the Stereo Microphone (CS-15) is the perfect choice. A cardioid-type stereo microphone, powered via the R-09 (or seperate battery), plus windshield, handheld/mic stand mount, and desktop stand. It is ideal for the serious recordist whether out in the field recording nature or catching the full range of a musical performance.
Finally, make sure that all these accessories are easily to hand and safe in the Carrying Bag (CB-R09S). Padded, convenient and smart - you really owe it to your R-09 to let it travel in style.
Confirming EDIROL's reputation for making the hottest products in the market, the R-09 follows the R-1 as being the latest "must have" recorder for field recording. The accessory packs let you individually tailor the way you use your R-09 for the best experience possible.

Introducing the latest addition to EDIROL's red-hot portable recorder lineup: the R-09. Building on the success of the R-1, the R-09 takes many of the most desired features — 24-bit uncompressed recording and a built-in stereo mic — and shrinks it all down into a more streamlined, stylish, and affordable package.
Its ultra small and looks like a gadget, but make no mistake — the R-09 is a serious, top-quality professional recorder with time-stamp capability. Capture source material at a crystal-clean 24-bit resolution with your choice of 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. Record and play back in MP3 format as well (up to 320kbps). Once recorded, files can be monitored through the R-09s headphone jack and/or exported to a computer via USB.
To record audio into the R-09, theres no extra gear to buy or no cables to connect. A quality stereo microphone is built right into the unit, complete with a dedicated input control, mono/stereo selector, low-cut filter, and gain boost. Just point and record! The R-09 also offers a 1/4Emic input.
The R-09 is perfect for recording live music events, recitals, and rehearsals. Its also handy as a songwriters sketchpad, ensuring that no moment of inspiration is lost. But the R-09 has many valuable uses outside of the music world as well. Students can use it to record lectures. Broadcasters and journalists can throw away their antiquated cassette recorders and use the R-09 for in-the-field interviews — the audio-capturing applications are endless.

EDIROL announced a new visual performance package for the visual artist and performing musicians. Designed in collaboration with Digitalstage, the EDIROL "motion dive .tokyo performance package" is the combination of Digitalstage's world-famous motion dive .tokyo software and specially designed console, the MD-P1. This console represents the first time MIDI control of motion dive is possible.
motion dive .tokyo software takes a unique approach to visual performance by using a familiar DJ style interface that allows for the mixing of two visual sources with a DJ style crossfader, switches and effects.
EDIROL created a unique USB powered console specifically for motion dive .tokyo. The MD-P1 Console duplicates the software interface of motion dive and adds the benefit of being able to manipulate multiple parameters at the same time. The MD-P1 Console was conceived for use with notebook computers with side placement of connectors, and a small portable design.
The MD-P1 Console also features a MIDI input port for connection of V-LINK compatible Roland instruments and workstations as well as EDIROL controllers. By activating the V-LINK function on the instrument, pre-programmed settings are called up for instant integration with motion dive .tokyo, giving the musician control of visuals from his or her music instrument.
Tomoyasu Hirano, President of Digitalstage, says, "Digitalstage has been an innovator in the development of visual performance software since 1998 with our motion dive software. We are extremely pleased to join with the leader in audio and visual performance hardware, EDIROL/Roland, to bring a new era of software and hardware integration to the visual performance scene."
Kim Nunney, President of EDIROL Corporation North America, commented, "motion dive .tokyo has achieved a great reputation in the visual performance scene and EDIROL is very excited to be able to create the first ever hardware controller for motion dive, providing a new powerful and affordable VJ and V-LINK performance solution to musicians with the "motion dive .tokyo performance package"." He continues, "We are proud to partner with Digitalstage and are confident that this partnership product will open the world of visual performance to a whole new market."
