The PCR-1 is the ideal audio-interface & keyboard controller for the traveling musician, the mobile DJ, and the home recording musician working with limited space. For the traveling musician, the PCR-1 offers the vast majority of options you've come to expect from a high-end sound card as well as a 25-key controller that feels great under your fingers. The PCR-1 draws its power directly from the computer, so now you can compose, sequence, record, playback your music anywhere you can take your computer. After all, the beach is a much more inspiring place to write than your living room. The mobile DJ will appreciate that the PCR-1 can use the same control maps as its big brothers in the PCR series of keyboards. Over 80 control maps for various applications & hardware devices are already available for download from our website. The PCR-1 measures just 1-3/16 inches thick & weighs a mere 2 lbs. 11 oz and comes with its own gigbag, making it easy to carry from place to place with your performance rig. It also includes a Kensington lock port, so that you can keep it from getting up and walking away while you're busy diggin' through crates of records. The home-recording musician will love the PCR-1 for its 24-bit/96kHz audio performance capability & the very light foot-print it leaves on your desktop. Whether working with software synths or powerful sequencing applications, the PCR-1 offers an incredible set of features and superior quality in the most tightly compact keyboard & audio interface available.
Cubase SL Edition, Edirol PCR-1 and Behringer Tube Ultragain Mic 200. Even if you update your I\O the Edirol has a MIDI controller too, so you may still use it after buying a shiny new RME in the future, its drivers are solid. About the Behringer: you can get pre amps a lot better...
...use them in whatever else I can think of. Other modules I've been looking at include: Alesis QSR Kawai GMega Korg NS5R Kurzweil PC2R w/ PCR-1 expansion ROM I was also considering the Emu Proteus modules, but from what I can tell they don't offer GM compatibility except for the Emu Sound Engine. But that module appears quite rare. Anyone...
