7. PK OUT Connector

Use the PK cable that is supplied with the VK-88 to connect this connector to the VK-88. After connecting to the VK-88, make sure to set the PEDAL KEYBOARD [SELECT] switch on the VK-88’s rear panel to PK IN (VK-88 Owner’s Manual, p. 22).

Do not attempt to use any cable other than the supplied PK cable, since this will cause malfunc-

NOTE tions.

This connector cannot be used with the VK-8.

8. MIDI Connectors

Use these connectors to connect external MIDI devices such as the VK-8. Use a MIDI cable (sold separately) to make the connections.

9. HOLD OUT (Hold Pedal output) Jack

This jack outputs the on/off data from the hold pedal. If you are using the PK-7 with the VK-8, you use a monaural cable (phone-phone) (sold separately) to connect this jack to the VK-8’s HOLD PEDAL jack

NOTE

If a cable is connected to this jack, Hold data will not be sent from the PK OUT connector or the

MIDI OUT connector. In this case, you can’t change the MIDI channel.

 

10. EXPRESSION OUT (Expression pedal output) Jack

This jack outputs the data from the expression pedal. When a stereo cable (phone-phone) (sold separately) is used to connect this jack to the VK-8’s EXPRESSION PEDAL jack, the expression pedal will control the overall volume of the VK-8.

NOTE

The expression pedal is designed only for Roland/Boss products. Connecting it to products made by manufacturers other than Roland or Boss may cause malfunctions.

If a cable is connected to this jack, Expression data will not be output from the PK OUT connector or MIDI OUT connector.

FOOT SW-L OUT/FOOT SW-R OUT (Foot switch L output /Foot switch R output) Jacks

These jacks output on/off data from the foot switches. When a monaural cable (phone- phone) (sold separately) is used to connect this to the VK-8’s CONTROL PEDAL jack, you can use a foot switch to control functions other than rotary effect fast/slow or brake.

If a cable is connected to this jack, on/off data from the foot switches will not be output from the PK OUT connector or the MIDI OUT connector.
