MIDI Pedalboard PK-9
●
Foot Switch Right Assign
This parameter allows you to assign a function to the
footswitch on the right side of the expression pedal.
See “Foot Switch Left Assign” for an explanation of
the available settings.
NOTE
If you connect the PK-9 to an instrument of the Roland
VK-series, the CC18 message controls the “Rotary Slow/
Fast” parameter, while the CC19 message controls the
“Rotary Break Speed” parameter.
●
Retrigger
This parameter is only available while the PK-9 is in
Mono mode. To select that mode, you first need to
assign the “Mon” function the [CONTROL 1] or
[CONTROL 2] pedal and then activate that pedal. See
also “CONTROL 1 Assign” and “CONTROL 2 Assign” on
p. 15.
When “Retrigger” is on, some special effects can be
obtained. In Mono mode, the pedalboard is mono-
phonic: if you press two pedals simultaneously, only
the last note played will sound. When that note is
released, the previous note will sound, so a pleasant
alternating effect can be obtained.
●
Velocity
If this parameter is on, your playing dynamics are
translated into MIDI velocity values (1~127). If you
choose a fixed value (1~127), the PK-9 transmits all
notes with that value.
●
Touch (velocity curve)
The PK-9’s pedals are velocity sensitive. If necessary,
you can select a different velocity curve to suit your
playing style.
NOTE
The “Touch” setting is ignored while “Velocity” is set to a
value (1~127).
●
Portamento Time
“Portamento” means that the pitch doesn’t change in
clearly defined steps: it produces glides from one
note to the next. Use this parameter to specify the
speed at which those glides are carried out. The
higher the value, the slower the transitions.
NOTE
If the receiving MIDI instrument doesn’t support this
parameter, this setting will have no effect.
●
Octaver value
This parameter allows you to specify the pitch of the
note that is added while the “oCb” function is active.
See “CONTROL 1 Assign” on p. 15 for details.
●
Pedal Assign
This parameter allows you to assign a function to the
pedal you connect to the EXTERNAL PEDAL socket.
●
Auto Off
This parameter allows you to specify how long the
PK-9 should wait before switching itself off while
you are not using it. If you don’t want the power to
turn off automatically, select “Off”.
