Owner's Manual

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland PK-6 Dynamic MIDI Pedal.

Features

• T hirteen-note pedal keyboard with dynamics
• Easy to use and to set up, thanks to its display.
• F 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 commands that can be used to control Music Style/Rhythm playback on an arranger module (like the BK-7m) or an arranger keyboard.

HOLD, OCTAYER 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.
T hree-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, however, 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 information 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 convenient reference.

1. Important notes

In addition to the items listed under "Using the unit safely" auf S. 4, please read and observe the following:

Power supply

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
  The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure to turn off the power on all your equipment before you make any connections.
• With the factory settings, the PK-6 will automatically be switched off 240 minutes (4 hours) after you stop playing or operating the unit. If you don't want the unit to turn off automatically, change the "Auto Off" setting to "Off" as described on S. 25.

Note: The settings you were editing will be lost when the unit is turned off. If you want to keep your settings, you must save your settings before turning the unit off.

Power supply: Use of Batteries

• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn this unit off and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and damage.
  The life of the supplied batteries may be limited, since its primary purpose was to enable testing.
• If operating this unit on batteries, please use alkaline batteries.

Placement

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use it in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the PK-6. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g. flower vases) on the PK-6. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional precautions

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit's memory, in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
  Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit's memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the PK-6's buttons, other controls and jacks/connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• When connecting/disconnecting cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels.
• The sound of pedals being struck and vibrations produced by playing an instrument can be transmitted through a floor or wall to an unexpected extent. Please take care not to cause annoyance to others nearby.
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-series, sold separately) or pedal switch (Roland DP-series, BOSS FS-5U). By connecting any other expression pedal or footswitch, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage the unit.
• When you operate the pedals, please be careful not to get your fingers pinched between the movable part and the panel. In places where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance.

NOTE

To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any connections.

1. Use a MIDI cable (commercially available) to connect the PK-6's MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN connector of MIDI external device. Use another MIDI cable to connect the keyboard's MIDI OUT socket to the PK-6's MIDI IN socket.

BK-7m, BK-5, JUPITER-80, etc.

In this scenario, the messages the PK-6 receive via its MIDI IN socket are mixed ("merged") with the PK-6's MIDI messages and transmitted via its MIDI OUT socket to the external MIDI module ("Soft Thru" function).

NOTE

The exact copy of the MIDI data received via the PK-6's MIDI IN socket is also sent out from its MIDI THRU socket. Though you could also use this connection scenario, be aware that it only works if your MIDI module has two MIDI IN sockets. Therefore, the "merge" approach is usually more practical.

Connecting an optional expression pedal or footswitch to PK-6

The PK-6 provides an EXTERNAL PEDAL socket to which you can connect an optional footswitch (Roland DP-series or BOSS FS-5U) or an expression pedal (Roland EV-series).

If you connect a footswitch, you can select the function it should perform (page 24). By default, the footswitch will control the "Expression" function.

NOTE

Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-series, sold separately) or pedal switch (Roland DP-series, BOSS FS-5U). By connecting any other expression pedal or footswitch, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage the unit.

4. Using the PK-6's modes

The PK-6 can be used in one of four modes: MONO, POLY, DRUM, or MIDI CONTROLLER. Each mode is intended for a different application, so be sure to read the following so as to select the mode that is most convenient for you.

MONO mode

This mode enables the PK-6 to play in monophonic mode. This means that only one note message is transmitted at any one time. At power on, the PK-6 is in MONO mode.

1. If necessary, press the [MONO] footswitch to select MONO mode.

The MONO indicator lights and the display shows:

At the same time, a "Mono Mode ON" control change message is transmitted to PK-6's MIDI OUT socket (CC126, v = 0 ).
