help Roland PC-50 FAQ
Is the Roland PC-50 a 61-key MIDI keyboard?
No. Roland's official specifications list 49 full-size, velocity-sensitive keys, not 61 keys.
Does the Roland PC-50 have aftertouch or programmable drum pads?
The PC-50 specification lists velocity-sensitive keys, a pitch-bend and modulation lever, a value dial, and buttons, but no key aftertouch or programmable pads. It is designed as a straightforward keyboard controller rather than a pad workstation.
How can the Roland PC-50 connect to MIDI hardware?
It has USB MIDI for a computer and a five-pin MIDI OUT jack for external equipment. It also includes hold-pedal and expression-pedal connections.
How is the discontinued Roland PC-50 powered?
Roland lists USB bus power, a DC 9V adapter, or four AA batteries as power options. The same support material lists Windows XP, 2000, Me, and 98 requirements, so modern computer compatibility should be checked before buying.
