Roland Releases New Dynamic MIDI Pedal

Los Angeles, CA,  January 19, 2012 — Roland is pleased to announce the new

PK-6  Dynamic Pedalboard,  an impressive MIDI controller that puts the excitement and versatility  of live bass performance with full MIDI control within reach of any  musician.

The  new PK-6 MIDI Pedal controller is the successor to the popular PK-5A,  and preserves many of the same characteristics of its predecessor, while  adding new features  and functions that  make its use more comfortable and intuitive for musicians. Virtually  any MIDI function can be controlled in live performance using their  feet, leaving hands free to play  their favorite instrument, and the easily readable LED display enhances  the player interface.

The  PK-6 includes new features like MIDI merge, PK out, and an external  pedal jack, along with proven PK-5A features like one-foot operation of  four separate performance  modes, 13-velocity sensitive pedal keys, and the ability to transpose  over a nine-octave tonal range. 

Connect  the PK-6 to any MIDI-compatible keyboard or sound module, and instantly  add bass lines, harmonies, drum/percussion sounds, and even sound  effects to your  performances.

The PK-6 will be available in April 2012. For more information, visit www.RolandConnect.com.
