Roland PK-5 - PK-5 Advanced Operation: Expression and MIDI; Retrigger, Double Effects, and MIDI Settings

RETRIGGER:
To select this function, press the pedal marked by «B» letter. The leds of the pedalboard will light simultaneously
for a second, confirming that the selection has been made.
With this parameter in ON condition, some particular effects can ben obtained.
When in Bass mode, the pedalboard is enabled to play monophonically: pressing two pedals simultaneously, only
the last note pressed will sound. When this note is released, the note previously pressed will sound, so a pleasant
effect of alternance will be obtained.
To select the RETRIGGER parameter in OFF condition, press the PARAMETER selector [9], then press the pedal
marked by «B» letter once more. All the leds of the pedalboard will light simultaneously for a second, confirming
that the selection has been made.
DOUBLE:
To select this function, press the pedal marked by «C» letter. The leds of the pedalboard will light simultaneously
for a second, confirming that the selection has been made.
With this parameter in ON condition, even if a single note is played, two sounds will be heard: the first one is the
note played, the second one is the same note, but transposed of an octave higher.
To select the DOUBLE parameter in OFF condition, press the PARAMETER selector [9] and press the pedal mar-
ked by «C» letter once more. The leds of the pedalboard will light simultaneously for a second, confirming that
the selection has been made.
[10] MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE:
To send a program change number, press the MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE selector [10]; the corresponding led will
light.
By pressing the pedals, compose the number you wish to send (e.g. to send the program change no. 123, press the
pedals no. 1, 2 and 3 in sequence). Then press the pedal marked by «B» letter (ENTER) to confirm the operation.
The leds of the pedalboard will light simultaneously for a second, to confirm that the selection has been made.
If a program change number is erroneously selected, press the pedal marked by «A» letter (CANCEL), to cancel
the operation.
If you wish to send again the program change number previously selected, simply press the MIDI PROGRAM CHAN-
GE selector {10] and the pedal marked by «B» letter (ENTER). The leds of the pedalboard will light simultaneously
for a second, confirming that the selection has been made.
If a program change number higher than 128 is erroneously selected, the pedalboard will exit automatically this
function when the «B» pedal (ENTER) is pressed.
[11] MIDI CHANNEL
To select anyone of the MIDI channels (1-16), press the MIDI CHANNEL selection selector [11] and the correspon-
ding led will light.
By pressing the pedals, compose the number of the MIDI channel you wish to send (e.g. to send the MIDI channel
no. 15, press the pedals no. 1 and 5 in sequence). Then press the pedal marked by «B» letter (ENTER) to confirm
the operation. The leds of the pedalboard will light simultaneously for a second, confirming that the selection has
been made.
If a number is erroneously selected, press the pedal marked by «A» letter (CANCEL), to cancel the operation.
If you wish to select the default MIDI channel (the number 2 when in BASS mode), simply press the MIDI CHAN-
NEL selector [11] and the pedal marked by «C» letter (DEFAULT). The leds of the pedalboard will light simulta-
neously for a second, confirming that the selection has been made.

tion when the «B» pedal (ENTER) is pressed.
