PK-5A Operation

� RETRIGGER (pedal [B]) When this parameter is on, some special effects can be obtained. When in MONO mode, the pedalboard is monophonic: 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. To switch off the RETRIGGER parameter, press the SELECT selector [9], then pedal [B]. All indicators briefly light to confirm your selection. � OCTAVER (pedal [C]) When this parameter is on, a note is added to each note you play. The added note is one octave above the note you played.
Note: If the OCT parameter is set to [8], the added note may be out of range of the receiving tone generator. In that case, the PK-5A transposes the added note one octave down.

The PK-5A now expects you to input a value for CC32 (LSB). Repeat steps (3) and (4).
Note: If you pressed the wrong pedal while specifying the number, you can cancel your input by pressing pedal [A] (CANCEL). Note: If you only need to enter a CC00 value, confirm it by pressing [B] twice (so as to skip the CC32 value). Note: If a value higher than �127� is entered, the PK-5A uses the previously-entered (correct) value for CC00 when pedal [B] (ENTER) is pressed.

(5) After entering (or skipping) the CC32 value, you need to specify the program change number to be transmitted along with the MSB (and LSB) value(s). See �[10] PRG CHANGE� for details. All indicators briefly light to confirm your selection. The entire operation sequence can be summarized as follows: (1) CC00: selector [10]� [C]� use the pedals to enter the value� [B] (Enter) (or [A] (Cancel)) (2) CC32*: use the pedals to enter the value� [B] (Enter) (or [A] (Cancel)) (* Press [B] again to skip the CC32 value.) (3) PRG: use the pedals to enter the program number� [B] (Enter) (or [A] (Cancel)) G[11] MIDI CHANNEL To select a MIDI channel (1~16), press the MIDI CHANNEL selector [11] (indicator lights). Use the pedals to enter the MIDI channel you wish to set. Example: to specify channel �15�, press [1] and [5]. Then press pedal [B] (ENTER) to confirm the operation. All indicators briefly light to confirm your selection.
Note: If you pressed the wrong pedal while specifying the number, you can cancel your input by pressing pedal [A] (CANCEL). Note: To return to the default MIDI channel (�2� in MONO mode), press the MIDI CHANNEL selector [11] and pedal [C]. All indicators briefly light to confirm your selection. Note: If a MIDI channel number higher than �16� is erroneously selected, the PK-5A will exit this function when pedal [B] (ENTER) is pressed.

To switch off the OCTAVER parameter, press the SELECT selector [9] and pedal [C]. All indicators briefly light to confirm your selection. G[10] PRG CHANGE To send a program change number, press the PRG CHANGE selector [10]; the corresponding indicator lights. Use the pedals to enter the desired PC number: to send the program number �123�, press pedals [1], [2] and [3] in succession. Then press pedal [B] (ENTER) to confirm the operation. All indicators briefly light to confirm your selection. If you pressed the wrong pedal while specifying the number, you can cancel your input by pressing pedal [A] (CANCEL). If you wish to send the previously-entered program change number again, simply press the PRG CHANGE selector [10] and pedal [B] (ENTER). All indicators briefly light to confirm your selection.
Note: If a program change number higher than �128� is entered, the PK-5A sends the previously-entered (correct) number when pedal [B] (ENTER) is pressed.

GMIDI program changes & Bank Select messages (CC00 & CC32) You can also add Bank Select information (CC00 and CC32) to the program change numbers you transmit. (1) Press the PRG CHANGE selector [10] (indicator lights). (2) Press pedal [C] to select the MSB/LSB function. The indicator of the MONO mode now flashes. (3) Use the pedals to enter the value for CC00. Example: To set the CC00 (MSB) value to �16�, press [1] and [6]. (4) Confirm by pressing pedal [B] (ENTER).
