Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland PK-6 Dynamic MIDI Pedal.
Features
•Thirteen-note pedal keyboard with dynamics
• Easy to use and to set up, thanks to its display.
•Features four modes: MONO, POLY, DRUM, and MIDI CONTROLLER.
The PK-6 can be used to transmit chords (polyphonic mode) or notes (monophonic mode) to an external arranger keyboard,
MIDI module, organ, etc. It may also come in handy for guitar and bass players who need to add notes or chords to their
parts and therefore wish to control a MIDI-compatible sound module. After selecting a drum set on the receiving MIDI
instrument, the PK-6 can even be used to play drum parts with your feet. In addition, the PK-6 can transmit other MIDI commands that can be used to control Music Style/Rhythm playback on an arranger module (like the BK-7m) or an arranger keyboard.
ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH
• HOLD, OCTAVER BASS and PORTAMENTO footswitches.
These footswitches allow you to hold the last note you played, to add a note one octave below the note you actually play
and to create glides between one note and the next.
• Convenient SHIFT footswitch for instant access to the PK-6’s parameters.
• You can decide to control parameters like expression, filter cutoff frequency, resonance, etc., with and external foot switch
(EXTERNAL PEDAL jack) by connecting an optional expression pedal (Roland EV-5), an optional pedal switch (Roland DPseries) or an optional foot switch (BOSS FS-5U).
•The MIDI Merge function (MIDI IN to MIDI OUT) combines MIDI messages the PK-6 receives from an external MIDI device
with the ones you generate by playing it and transmits all MIDI data to a receiving MIDI device.
•Three-way power supply.
The PK-6 can be powered using 6 alkaline AA-type batteries (supplied), using an optional adaptor or via its PK OUT socket (if
you connect it to device that has a PK IN socket).
The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., include newer sounds), so what you
actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.
Before using this instrument, carefully read “Using the unit safely” auf S. 4 and “Important notes” auf S. 6. Those sections provide information concerning the proper operation of the PK-6. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every
feature provided by your new unit, the manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

Important notes
1. Important notes
In addition to the items listed under “Using the unit safely” auf S. 4, please read and observe the following:
Power supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being
used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter
(such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in
which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may
cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is
not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power
supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure
to turn off the power on all your equipment before you make any
connections.
•With the factory settings, the PK-6 will automatically be switched
off 240 minutes (4 hours) after you stop playing or operating the
unit. If you don't want the unit to turn off automatically, change
the “Auto Off” setting to “Off” as described on S. 25.
Note:
The settings you were editing will be lost when the
unit is turned off. If you want to keep your settings, you
must save your settings before turning the unit off.
Power supply: Use of Batteries
•When installing or replacing batteries, always turn this unit off
and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This
way, you can prevent malfunction and damage.
• The life of the supplied batteries may be limited, since its primary
purpose was to enable testing.
• If operating this unit on batteries, please use alkaline batteries.
Placement
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do
not use it in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such
as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise
could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such
wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or
switch them off.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
•When moved from one location to another where the temperature
and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation)
may form inside the PK-6. Damage or malfunction may result if
you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before
using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until
the condensation has completely evaporated.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be
the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the
surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the
unit will not slip or move accidentally.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g. flower vases) on the
PK-6. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail
polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid
that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one
that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth.
• Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
•Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's memory may
be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should
always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or
written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is
taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as
when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret
that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional precautions
•Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably
lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the
unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data,
we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit's memory, in another MIDI
device (e.g., a sequencer).
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data
that was stored in the unit’s memory once it has been lost. Roland
Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the PK-6’s buttons,
other controls and jacks/connectors. Rough handling can lead to
malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
•When connecting/disconnecting cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing
shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit's volume at
reasonable levels.
• The sound of pedals being struck and vibrations produced by playing an instrument can be transmitted through a floor or wall to an
unexpected extent. Please take care not to cause annoyance to
others nearby.
•When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will
need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-series, sold
separately) or pedal switch (Roland DP-series, BOSS FS-5U). By
connecting any other expression pedal or footswitch, you risk
causing malfunction and/or damage the unit.
•When you operate the pedals, please be careful not to get your
fingers pinched between the movable part and the panel. In places
where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides
supervision and guidance.

In this scenario, the messages the PK-6 receives via
its MIDI IN socket are mixed (“merged”) with the
PK-6’s MIDI messages and transmitted via its MIDI
OUT socket to the external MIDI module (“Soft Thru”
function).
NOTE
The exact copy of the MIDI data received via the PK-6’s
MIDI IN socket is also sent out from its MIDI THRU socket.
Though you could also use this connection scenario, be
aware that it only works if your MIDI module has two MIDI
IN sockets. Therefore, the “merge” approach is usually more
practical.
NOTE
Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-series,

→ The “Auto Off” function may be active. Set it to
“Off” (page 25).
ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH
■ The external pedal doesn’t operate correctly.
Is the expression pedal or footswitch connected correctly?
→ Please check the connection. See “Connecting an
optional expression pedal or footswitch to PK-6”
auf S. 13.
Are you using an EV-series expression pedal or a
Roland DP-series or BOSS FS-5U footswitch?
→ Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland
EV-series, sold separately) or pedal switch (Roland
DP-series, BOSS FS-5U). By connecting any other
expression pedal or footswitch, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage the unit.
Did you assign a function to “Pedal Assign” parameter that is supported by the receiving device?
→ Please see “Pedal Assign” auf S. 24 and the
owner’s manual of the external MIDI instrument.
Did you connect the MIDI cable correctly?
→ Please see “Connecting the PK-6 to an external
MIDI device” auf S. 12.
■ No sound plays.
Does the external instrument’s MIDI channel match
the PK-6’s MIDI channel?
→ When connecting to any external MIDI device, you
must match the PK-6’s MIDI channel to the MIDI
channel set on the connected device. See “MIDI
transmit channels” auf S. 21 for how to set the
PK-6’s transmit channels.
■ Sounds are not playing correctly.

Bedienungsanleitung
Vielen Dank für Ihre Entscheidung zu einer Dynamischen MIDI-Pedaleinheit PK-6.
Funktionsübersicht
• Anschlagdynamische Pedaleinheit mit 13 Tasten
• Ausgestattet mit einem Display für einen maximalen Bedienkomfort.
•Bietet 4 Modi: MONO, POLY, DRUM und MIDI CONTROLLER.
Das PK-6 kann Akkorde (polyphoner Modus) oder Einzelnoten (monophoner Modus) zu einem externen Instrument mit
Begleitautomatik, einem MIDI-Modul, einer Orgel usw. senden. Außerdem eignet es sich für Gitarristen und Bassisten, die ab
und zu ein paar Noten oder Akkorde spielen und ein MIDI-kompatibles Modul ansteuern möchten. Nach Anwahl eines Drum
Sets auf dem Empfänger kann das PK-6 sogar zum Spielen von Schlagzeugparts verwendet werden. Zusätzlich kann das
PK-6 andere MIDI-Befehle senden, mit denen sich die Music Style-/Rhythmuswiedergabe eines Arranger-Moduls (z.B. des
BK-7m) oder -Keyboards steuern lässt.
DEUTSCH DEUTSCH DEUTSCH DEUTSCH DEUTSCH DEUTSCH
•Fußtaster: HOLD, OCTAVER BASS und PORTAMENTO.
Mit diesen Fußtastern können Sie die zuletzt gespielte Note halten, eine um eine Oktave tiefer transponierte Note hinzufügen und gleitende Übergänge zwischen den Noten erzeugen.
•Praktischer SHIFT-Fußtaster für den Direktzugriff auf die Parameter des PK-6.
•Mit einem externen Fußtaster (EXTERNAL PEDAL-Buchse) können Sie Parameter wie Expression, die Filterfrequenz, Resonanz
usw. ansteuern. Es kann wahlweise ein Expression-Pedal (Roland EV-5) oder ein Fußtaster (Roland DP-Serie bzw. BOSS FS5U) verwendet werden.
•Die “MIDI Merge”-Funktion (MIDI IN zu MIDI OUT) kombiniert die MIDI-Befehle, die das PK-6 von einem externen MIDI-Gerät
empfängt, mit den intern generierten und gibt diese Befehle gemeinsam aus.
• Flexible Stromversorgung.
Das PK-6 kann mit 6 Alkalibatterien vom Typ AA, mit einem optionalen Netzteil oder über die PK OUT-Buchse (bei Verbindung mit dem PK IN-Anschluss eines anderen Geräts) gespeist werden.
Die Abbildungen und Beschreibungen in dieser Anleitung entsprechen in der Regel dem, was Sie auf Ihrem Instrument sehen.
Beachten Sie jedoch, dass Ihr Instrument u.U. ein neueres Betriebssystem verwendet, so dass bestimmte Abbildungen nicht
exakt dem entsprechen, was Sie im Display sehen.
Lesen Sie sich vor der Verwendung des Instruments “Hinweise für eine sichere Handhabung” auf S. 30 und “Wichtige Hinweise” auf S. 32
durch. Dort finden Sie nämlich wichtige Informationen über die richtige Bedienung des PK-6. Außerdem müssen Sie sich natürlich die
gesamte Bedienungsanleitung durchlesen, um alle Funktionen kennen zu lernen und bei der Bedienung alles richtig zu machen. Bewahren Sie die Bedienungsanleitung für die spätere Bezugnahme an einem sicheren Ort auf.
