Roland PC-160 (production years unconfirmed)
Not much is documented about the Roland PC-160. What the period record shows is mostly dealer-page evidence, not editorial coverage. An October 1996 Sound on Sound ad from the UK retailer X-Music ran it alongside a Roland sampler and called the "neatly designed PC-160" a companion piece (Sound on Sound, Oct 1996, p.158). A December 1997 dealer price list in the same magazine groups the "PC 160" under a MIDI Keyboards heading at £139, with a "PC 200" listed beside it (Sound on Sound, Dec 1997, p.113).
Beyond those listings, almost nothing is recorded here. There is no full review, no spec sheet and no confirmed production years. The MIDI Keyboards grouping and the "neatly designed" wording suggest a compact Roland MIDI controller from the mid-to-late 1990s, but the archive's fact sheet gives no verified specifications or dates. So this page stays thin.
