Troubleshooting
If the PK-7A does not function as you expect, please check the following points first. If this does not resolve the
problem, contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.
●
The power (indicator) does not come on when I turn on the
power switch.
◆
If the PK-7A is connected to a device that cannot use the
PK cable (such as the VK-8), the supplied AC adaptor
must be used. After connecting the AC adaptor
correctly, turn the power switch on.
●
The power (indicator) does not turn on/off when I turn the
PK-7A’s power switch on/off.
◆
The PK-7A’s power is switched on/off in tandem with
the VK-88 when it is connected to the VK-88 using the
PK cable that is supplied with the VK-88. Make sure
that the VK-88’s power is turned on and the PK cable is
connected correctly.
●
The foot switch, hold pedal, and/or expression pedal do
not operate correctly.
◆
Make sure that the expression pedal cable is correctly
connected to the connector on the upper part of the PK-
7A (p. 7).
◆
If the PK cable is used to connect the PK-7A to the VK-
88
•
Make sure that the cable is connected correctly (p. 7).
•
Check the settings of the switches or pedals.
Foot switch: VK-88 Owner’s Manual, p. 68 (PK
FOOT L ASSIGN/PK FOOT R ASSIGN)
Hold pedal: VK-88 Owner’s Manual, p. 80 (HOLD
PEDAL ASSIGN)
Expression pedal: VK-88 Owner’s Manual,
p. 82 (ORCHESTRAL TONES EXPRESSION)
◆
If a MIDI cable is used to connect the PK-7A to the VK-8
•
Check that the MIDI cable is connected correctly (p.
8).
•
If you wish to use the expression pedal to control the
volume of the Other Tones, use a stereo cable
(phone-phone) to connect the PK-7A’s EXPRESSION
OUT jack to the VK-8’s EXPRESSION PEDAL jack,
or the PK-7A’s EXPRESSION OUT jack to the VK-8’s
CONTROL PEDAL jack. (VK-8 Owner’s Manual, p.
40–41)
◆
If MIDI and analog cables are used to connect the PK-
7A to the VK-8
•
Make sure that the polarity of the VK-8’s CONTROL
PEDAL jack is set to “Standard.” (VK-8 Owner’s
Manual, p. 56)
•
Make sure that a function is assigned to the VK-8’s
CONTROL PEDAL jack. (VK-8 Owner’s Manual, p.
40–41)
•
Use a stereo cable (phone-phone) when connecting
the PK-7A’s EXPRESSION OUT jack to the VK-8’s
EXPRESSION PEDAL jack, or the PK-7A’s
EXPRESSION OUT jack to the VK-8’s CONTROL
PEDAL jack.
●
Cannot assign a function to the foot switch.
◆
When the PK-7A is connected to the VK-8 without
using analog cables, functions other than Rotary Slow/
Fast (foot pedal L) and Rotary Brake (foot pedal R)
cannot be assigned.
●
No sound plays.
◆
When connecting to any external MIDI device other
than the VK-88 or VK-8, you must match the PK-7A’s
MIDI channel to the MIDI channel set for the connected
device.
◆
If connecting the PK-7A to a VK-8, switch the Sub-
Keyboard Function to ON.
(VK-8 Owner’s Manual,
p. 56)
●
Sounds are not playing correctly.
◆
Confirm whether or not the Octave Shift switch is set
correctly. If the PK-7A is connected to a VK-88 or VK-8,
set the Octave Shift switch to the “0” position.
