Before using this unit,
carefully read the sections
entitled: “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” (p. 2, 3) and
“Important Notes” (p. 4).
These sections provide
important information
concerning the proper
operation of the unit.
Additionally, in order to feel
assured that you have gained
a good grasp of every feature
provided by your new unit,
this Owner’s Manual should
be read in its entirety. The
manual should be saved and
kept on hand as a convenient
reference.
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland PK-7A Pedal Keyboard.
In addition to the pedal keyboard, which greatly enhances enjoyment in playing the
organ, the PK-7A MIDI pedal keyboard unit also features an expression pedal that
lends precise and dynamic volume expression to performances, a foot switch that en-
ables pedal control over a variety of Roland VK-88/VK-8 combo organ functions, and
a hold pedal for sustaining notes.
Features
●
Twenty-note pedal keyboard and removable expression pedal
The PK-7A features a twenty-note pedal keyboard for maximum enjoyment of organ
playing. The built-in expression pedal can be removed from the pedal keyboard unit
to make the unit more compact for transportation.
●
Foot switches for controlling the VK-88/VK-8
Two foot switches are built into the expression pedal. When the PK-7A is connected to
a Roland VK-88 or VK-8 combo organ, you can then switch settings of the Roland VK-
88 or VK-8 as you perform without removing your foot from the expression pedal or
your hands from the keyboard.
●
Hold pedal
A hold pedal is located where it can be easily operated by your right foot, for
additional expressive possibilities when playing sustain-type sounds.
●
Single-cable connection to the VK-88
When connecting the PK-7A to the VK-88, the PK cable is the only connection
required–no need for MIDI cables, analog cables, or an AC adaptor. This makes setup
quick and easy.
●
Switching MIDI Channels and Octave Shift
The PK-7A also features a MIDI channel switching knob that allows you to match the
MIDI channel settings with other equipment when the PK-7A is connected to an
external MIDI device other than a Roland combo organ (VK Series). Furthermore, you
can use Octave Shift to change the pitch in octave increments.
