Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland PK-6 Dynamic MIDI Pedal.
Features
•Thirteen-note pedal keyboard with dynamics
• Easy to use and to set up, thanks to its display.
•Features four modes: MONO, POLY, DRUM, and MIDI CONTROLLER.
The PK-6 can be used to transmit chords (polyphonic mode) or notes (monophonic mode) to an external arranger keyboard,
MIDI module, organ, etc. It may also come in handy for guitar and bass players who need to add notes or chords to their
parts and therefore wish to control a MIDI-compatible sound module. After selecting a drum set on the receiving MIDI
instrument, the PK-6 can even be used to play drum parts with your feet. In addition, the PK-6 can transmit other MIDI com-
mands that can be used to control Music Style/Rhythm playback on an arranger module (like the BK-7m) or an arranger key-
board.
• HOLD, OCTAVER BASS and PORTAMENTO footswitches.
These footswitches allow you to hold the last note you played, to add a note one octave below the note you actually play
and to create glides between one note and the next.
• Convenient SHIFT footswitch for instant access to the PK-6’s parameters.
• You can decide to control parameters like expression, filter cutoff frequency, resonance, etc., with and external foot switch
(EXTERNAL PEDAL jack) by connecting an optional expression pedal (Roland EV-5), an optional pedal switch (Roland DP-
series) or an optional foot switch (BOSS FS-5U).
•The MIDI Merge function (MIDI IN to MIDI OUT) combines MIDI messages the PK-6 receives from an external MIDI device
with the ones you generate by playing it and transmits all MIDI data to a receiving MIDI device.
•Three-way power supply.
The PK-6 can be powered using 6 alkaline AA-type batteries (supplied), using an optional adaptor or via its PK OUT socket (if
you connect it to device that has a PK IN socket).
The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note, how-
ever, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., include newer sounds), so what you
actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.
Before using this instrument, carefully read “Using the unit safely” auf S. 4 and “Important notes” auf S. 6. Those sections provide infor-
mation concerning the proper operation of the PK-6. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every
feature provided by your new unit, the manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a conve-
nient reference.
