Sound Effects - Roland PK-5 Owner's Manual

PROGRAMMING THE USER SET
Follow this procedure to program the USER SET:
— Connect the MIDI OUT of your keyboard (PRO-E, E-30, etc.) to the MIDI IN of the PK-5.
— Select the same MIDI channel in the keyboard and the PK-5 (MIDI channel no. 10).
— Select the DRUMS [6] pedalboard mode in the PK-5.
— Press and hold for two seconds the USER SET selector [10]; after that, the corresponding led will begin to flash,
showing that the instrument is in ready condition for programming.
— Press and hold (from your keyboard), the Drums note you wish to memorize into the USER SET.
— Press (on the PK-5) the pedal into which you wish to memorize the drums note.
At this point release the note played from your keyboard.
All the leds of the pedalboard will light simultaneously for a second, confirming that the programming has been
effected.
Repeat the procedure for programming the whole USER SET.
[11] MIDI CHANNEL
To select the MIDI Channels (1-16), press the MIDI CHANNEL selector [11]: the corresponding 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. 16, press the pedals no. 1 and 6 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 10 when in DRUMS condition), simply press the MIDI
CHANNEL selector [11] and the pedal marked by «C» letter (DEFAULT).
The leds of the pedalboard will light simultaneously for a second confirming that the selection has been made.
If a MIDI channel number higher than 16 is erroneously selected, the pedalboard will exit automatically this func-
tion when the «B» pedal (ENTER) is pressed.
[7] SOUND EFFECTS:
Pressing the selector [7] the pedalboard is enabled to play in the SOUND EFFECTS mode.
The PK-5 has been conceived to be used with «E» series instruments, such as the E-30, PRO-E, etc.; consequently,
the SOUND EFFECTS mode will be in default position when on MIDI channel no. 11, that is the same Sound Ef-
fects MIDI channel of the E-30, PRO-E, etc.
When connecting the pedalboard via MIDI to anyone of these instruments, the Sound Effects mode of an «E» series
instrument will be enabled to play, without performing complicated operations.
When in SOUND EFFECTS Pedalboard Mode [7] the following features in the FUNCTION section are enabled:
