I'm also very interested in the software synth that ships with the PCR series and how it sounds. Anyways, if anyone test drives one please share your impressions with me.

Thanks,

I've been using it for about two months now. Before that I had the PCRM80, which is very similar.
It is easy to use, very light in weight and has plenty of buttons, sliders and knobs to assign.
With the PCRM80, several of the keys stopped working after the unit was unused for a couple of months. I had to take it apart and move the contact strip around a little, and that seemed to correct it. There were many complaints online about this.
So far, the 800 has not shown any indications of having this problem.
I strictly use it as a midi controller for the Midjay, but it is primarily designed to interace with a PC, and comes with a nice software package. Also, technical support was been very good and friendly.
