[4] BASS:
Pressing this selector [4] the pedalboard is enabled to play monophonically, that is only one note at a time can be played.
The PK-5 has been conceived to be used with «E» series instruments, namely: E-20, E-5, E-10, E-30, PRO-E: conse-
quently, its BASS section will be in default position when on MIDI channel no. 2, which is the same Manual Bass
MIDI channel of the E-20, E-5, E-10, E-30, PRO-E.
When connecting via MIDI the pedalboard to anyone of these instruments, the Manual Bass mode of an «E» series
instrument will be enabled to play.
When in Bass Pedalboard Mode [4], the following features in the FUNCTION section are enabled:
[9] OCTAVE:
Nine different octave types can be selected by the pedals no. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
The octave no. 0 will represent the lowest octave type, and the octave no. 8 represents the highest octave type.

RESETTING DEFAULT VALUES:
To reset the default values when in anyone of the pedalboard modes, simply turn the instrument on while pressing
the mode selector [9].
To reset the default values of all the pedalboard modes, (BASS, POLY, DRUMS, SOUND EFFECTS, MIDI CON-
TROLLER), simply turn the instrument on while pressing the selector [9].
DYNAMIC SENSITIVITY:
When the instrument is turned on, 13 different types of DYNAMIC SENSITIVITY curves can be selected.
A single dynamic curve is assigned to each pedal; to recall it, simply press one of the 13 pedals, then turn the instru-
ment on.
The curve with the highest value of dynamic sensitivity is assigned to the pedal no. 0, on the contrary the curve
with the lowest value of dynamic sensitivity is assigned to the pedal marked by «C» letter.
The intermediary values of dynamic sensitivity are assigned to the pedals from «O» to «C»,
The last dynamic curve selected will be remembered when the instrument is turned off.
MIDI CONTROL
M.LD.I. is the acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
MIDI is a standardized interface by which all digital musical instruments also equipped with MIDI connections can
exchange data. ;
This means that your PK-5 can be used as a MIDI control pedalboard to control other MIDI devices («E» series
arrangers, synthesizers, expanders, etc.).
MIDI CONNECTIONS:
There are three MIDI sockets on the rear panel of the PK-5.
~— MIDI IN socket
Use this socket for feeding MIDI signals from an external MIDI device to the PK-5; use this socket for program-
ming the PK-5 USER SET in the DRUMS, SOUND EFFECTS, MIDI CONTROLLER pedalboard modes.
-— MIDI OUT socket:
Use this socket for sending MIDI signals from the PK-5 to control external MIDI devices (PRO-E, E-30 etc.).
— MIDI THRU socket:
The exact copy of the signal fed into the MIDI IN is sent out through this socket.
* The signal fed into MIDI IN is mixed with the Midi messages of the pedalboard and both are sent to MIDI OUT
(MIDI SOFT THRU)
** When receiving an Exclusive System, the pedalboard will be disabled until the message is completely received.
IF YOUR PK-5 FAILS TO OPERATE
Make sure that the 6 Alkaline Batteries (MN 1500) are not below their charge limits.
* When using the optional AC Adaptor, make sure that the AC Adaptor cord is firmly plugged into the socket on
the rear panel [2]. Make sure that the AC cord of the ADAPTOR is firmly plugged into the AC wall outlet. Also
check that the AC wall outlet is not faulty. Plug in a lamp or radio to test the wall outlet.
* Be sure the ON/OFF switch [3] (located on the rear panel) is ON.
* In the event the instrument is still inoperable, your Roland technician or dealer is best qualified to provide you
with competent service. Do not attempt any adjustments or repairs by yourself.
