In General

In 1990, Roland launched the PC-200, its first MIDI keyboard controller for use with computers and other MIDI devices. This was followed in 1996 by the smaller PC-160 with 32 velocity-sensitive keys. “Weighing less than 1.4 kg and measuring less than 60 cm in length, the PC-160 is the most powerful compact, portable keyboard ever made” (Roland advertising). The PC-160A variant was launched in 2000.
