Roland C-190 Mode D'emploi page 13

The bass note corresponds to the lowest note you
play.
Note: If you connect a MIDI cable to the PEDAL IN socket on
the C-190's rear panel, the PEDAL part can no longer be played
via the keyboard. Be sure to connect the other end of that
cable to a pedal unit – or else remove it from the socket.
Playing only bass notes with your left hand
If you prefer to play bass notes without the addition of
a MANUAL I register, you need to split the keyboard and
switch off all MANUAL I tilt tabs. Here's how to do that:
(1) Press the [II/I] tilt tab (the "coupler") in the MANUAL
I section to switch it off.
(2) Press the upper part of any MANUAL I tilt tab
whose indicator lights.
This switches off the MANUAL I division.
(3) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL II tilt tab to
activate the assigned register.
You can activate as many registers as you like.
(4) Use the PEDAL tabs to select the desired registra-
tion for the bass notes.
The PEDAL notes now sound in isolation up to the
split point for the PEDAL division (which is fixed).

Playing the bass notes with an optional pedal
unit
The C-190's PEDAL registers can also be triggered via
MIDI. The most convenient way to do that is by using
an optional PK-5A, PK-7 or PK-25 dynamic pedal unit.
With the following procedure you can set the C-190 so
that the bass notes (of the PEDAL division) are no
longer triggered by the keyboard:
(1) Switch off the C-190 and the PK.
(2) Connect the PK's MIDI OUT port to the C-190's
PEDAL IN socket.
(3) Switch on the PK.
(4) Switch on the C-190.
(5) Start playing on the keyboard and on the PK.
Note: When the PEDAL section is triggered in this way, it is
polyphonic (and can therefore sound several notes simulta-
neously).
