Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland PK-25A Pedal Keyboard.

In addition to the pedal keyboard, which greatly enhances enjoyment in playing the

organ, the PK-25A MIDI pedal keyboard unit also features an expression pedal that

lends precise and dynamic volume expression to performances, a foot switch that en-

ables pedal control over a variety of Roland VK-88/VK-8 combo organ functions, and

a hold pedal for sustaining notes.

Features

●

Twenty five-note pedal keyboard and removable expression pedal

The PK-25A features a twenty five-note pedal keyboard for maximum enjoyment of

organ playing. The built-in expression pedal can be removed from the pedal keyboard

unit to make the unit more compact for transportation.

●

Foot switches for controlling the VK-88/VK-8

Two foot switches are built into the expression pedal. When the PK-25A is connected

to a Roland VK-88 or VK-8 combo organ, you can then switch settings of the Roland

VK-88 or VK-8 as you perform without removing your foot from the expression pedal

or your hands from the keyboard.

●

Hold pedal

A Hold pedal is provided. You can easily operate for additional expressive

possibilities when playing sustain-type sounds.

●

Single-cable connection to the VK-88

When connecting the PK-25A to the VK-88, the PK cable is the only connection

required–no need for MIDI cables, analog cables, or an AC adaptor. This makes setup

quick and easy.

●

Switching MIDI Channels and Octave Shift

The PK-25A also features a MIDI channel switching knob that allows you to match the

MIDI channel settings with other equipment when the PK-25A is connected to an

external MIDI device other than a Roland combo organ (VK Series). Furthermore, you

can use Octave Shift to change the pitch in octave increments.
