A Display
This three-character display keeps you informed
about the current function, or parameter value you
set.
B CONTROL 1 and CONTROL 2 pedals
These pedals allow you to control the device con-
nected via MIDI. Their functions can be set in Param-
eter mode (page 14). By default, the CONTROL 1
pedal transmits control change CC16 messages, while
CONTROL 2 transmits CC17 messages.
Pressing these pedals simultaneously calls up Param-
eter mode (page 14).
C Expression pedal
Advancing the pedal will increase the volume, and
returning the pedal toward yourself will decrease the
volume. For instructions on mounting it, refer to
page 10.
D Footswitches
Two footswitches on either side of the expression
pedal allow you to control the connected device. By
default, the left footswitch transmits CC18 messages,
while the right footswitch transmits CC19 messages.
The functions of these footswitches can be changed
in Parameter mode.
E Hold pedal
Pressing this pedal allows you to hold the note you
are currently playing even after releasing the MIDI
pedal in question. When the PK-9 is in Parameter
mode, this pedal is used to confirm settings.
