Roland PK-7 Electronic Keyboard User Manual


 
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland PK-7 Pedal Keyboard.
The PK-7 is a pedal keyboard unit which was designed especially for the VK-88/VK-
8. It provides a pedal keyboard, an expression pedal for dynamic volume changes, foot
switches that let you control various functions of the VK-88/VK-8 by foot, and a hold
pedal to sustain the sound.
Features
Twenty-note pedal keyboard and removable expression pedal
The PK-7 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. During a performance, you can
switch the settings of the VK-88/VK-8 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-7 to the VK-88, the PK cable that is supplied with the VK-88
is the only connection required–no need for MIDI cables, analog cables, or an AC
power adaptor. This makes setup quick and easy.
