Troubleshooting

If the PK-6 does not function as you expect, please
check the following points first. If this does not resolve
the problem, contact your dealer or a nearby Roland
service center.
No power
If the PK-6 is supposed to be powered via its
PK OUT socket.
Did you connect the supplied PK cable to the external
instrument's PK IN connector and the PK-6's PK OUT
socket?
→ Please see "Connecting the PK-6 to an external
instrument with its PK cable" auf S. 11.
Did you switch on the external instrument?
→ Switch on the external instrument. The PK-6's
power is switched on/off in tandem with the
external instrument when it is connected via PK
cable.
If the PK-6 is supposed to be powered using
batteries or an optional adaptor.
Did you press the PK-6's [POWER] switch (rear
panel)?
→ Press the PK-6's [POWER] switch.
Did you install the supplied batteries?
→ Install the supplied batteries. See page 10.
Are the batteries depleted?
→ Insert new LR6 AA-type batteries or connect an
optional adaptor.
Did you connect the optional AC adapter?
→ Connect an optional adapter, or install batteries.
Did the PK-6 go off after several minutes?
→ The "Auto Off" function may be active. Set it to
"Off" (page 25).
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.
Confirm whether or not the OCTAVE switch is set cor-
rectly (page 19).
Dynamic MIDI Pedal PK-6
The external pedal doesn't operate correctly.
Is the expression pedal or footswitch connected cor-
rectly?
→ 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" parame-
ter 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.
