Roland PC-200 MK II
This is an article culled from archive material, circa 1997.
The PC-200 MK II is a small, plastic, four-octave keyboard with
velocity sensing (but no aftertouch) and the usual Roland pitch-lever
which combines pitchbend and modulation control. There is also a programmable
data entry fader, and the unit can send bank select and program changes.
The unit is aimed at the home market, since it's that typical "home
computer" beige colour.The keyboard works well enough, although the key travel is rather shallow
and the velocity curve lacks resolution, which is a drawback.
There are better quality
keyboards on the market, but this one is a cheap and reasonably effective
package for four octaves' worth of keys.
