Each key is felt-lined and spring-loaded using a recently developed key mechanism that represents Roland's 30 years of experience in the field.

The PC-80 has built-in audio capabilities and comes complete with a stand-alone GM2 software synth offering incredible sound quality. This allows the PC-80 to function as a complete synth, all through one USB connection to the computer.
