Edirol PCR-50 Keyboard Questions & Answers
Edirol PCR-50 wont output any data for most keyboard keys
Yes people it can be fixed
by yourself at home, cheaply and easily. I’ve got an Edirol pcr-80 &
prc-a30. Both have had intermittent key troubles and keys that just don’t work
anymore or low/high level compared to other keys. These problems seem to start
after a year or so. I’ve paid hundreds of dollars getting them fixed until I
tried this on a whim. The contacts under the keys are a carbon-based contact so
cleaning them with metho/alcohol just dries out this carbon. Some people say
cleaning them with a pencil easier helps and it can do slightly but not
properly. What you need is “Graphite Powder”. (Link for a picture of a appropriate
product – just cut and paste it in your Internet heading bar, or Google image search
graphite powder…)

Graphite powder is a dry
fine powder that is conductive and perfect for the job. You can purchase at any
locksmith – maybe a good hardware store, and it is sold as “non liquid
lubricant for locks and machinery.”
All you need to do is unscrew the case, remove the springs
that hold the keys in, remove the keys. (White keys first then black keys. Keep
in order.) Peel off the rubber strip under the keys and turn over so you can
see the little carbon nipples that touch the circuit board. (2 for each key)
Pour a little power out on a sheet of paper and use a cotton tip bud to apply a
little powder to these. Now apply a little to the carbon contacts on the circuit
board where the little nipples touch. Do all this with your midi keyboard
plugged in to your computer/synth etc so you can hear how you’re going with
getting contact before you put it all back together. You might get a key or two
going off when doing this because the graphite power is making a continuous
contact across the circuit board. Just blow/lightly wipe away excess to stop
this but you want to leave all the contact points evenly (if slightly) coated.
Try touching the rubber strip contacts with the circuit board contacts to see
if you can get a sound. This can be a bit tricky to line up and get an even
contact. This sorts its self out when everything is back together.
Now put back the rubber
strip. I used I tiny screwdriver to help push the rubber guide back in the
holes on the circuit board. Now put the keys back (black first – with the short
springs then white keys with the longer springs) screw the case back together
and let me know how you went.
This I think will dry up
again in time but if you get a good bit of use out of it you can just do it
again… For free…

Edirol pcr 50 dont know how to work
Dont forget that the PCR50 is a Midi controller and as such has no "sound" of its own. You must have Midi compatible player or composer type software (like Reason, Cakewalk, Sonic, etc) to link up to the PCR50 to get any sound.
Windows 7 driver for edirol 2496 pci
I have done some research on this and It would seem that there were never any windows 7 drivers for this Edirol product, However further research has discoverd the information below for a work round also have the same audio card, bought from ebay this year but have recently upgraded to Win7 64bit from XP home. Luckily after tons of googling I found a forum post on another site by a Spanish guy confirming there is a way to use it on Win 7 both 32/64bit version. You need to download M-Audio drivers (as the original Edirol drivers were also made my M-Audio at the time) for their Delta 1010 soundcard (not the LT version) and point win7 to those drivers as they ARE Win7 compatible, I'm using the 'Windows 7 64bit SP1' v6.0.8 drivers. It does actually work, however the guy reckons that the MIDI functions don't but thats no biggy to me. Only other way is to buy a Roland RPC 1 PCI card and replace the original Edirol pci card with that but they are rare and expensive but you don't need to because of the 6.0.8 drivers! I get no audio dropouts and the sound is very nice just like on XP.

Vista is dead, and good riddance. If you want a safe, free, modern operating system, download a nice distro of Linux like Ubuntu, Mint, ZorinOS, Elementary, Solus. Try it on a flash drive or DVD. If you have an old machine, try Lubuntu 32 bit, Puppy or Bodhi. Welcome to the new century.
