PK OUT Connector
Use the PK cable that is supplied with the VK-88 to connect this connector to the VK-88. After connecting to the VK-88, make sure to set the PEDAL KEYBOARD [SELECT] switch on the VK-88�s rear panel to PK IN (VK-88 Owner�s Manual, p. 22).

NOTE

Do not attempt to use any cable other than the supplied PK cable, since this will cause malfunctions. This connector cannot be used with the VK-8.

MIDI Connectors
Use these connectors to connect external MIDI devices such as the VK-8. Use a MIDI cable (sold separately) to make the connections.

HOLD OUT (Hold Pedal output) Jack
This jack outputs the on/off data from the hold pedal. If you are using the PK-7 with the VK-8, you use a monaural cable (phone-phone) (sold separately) to connect this jack to the VK-8�s HOLD PEDAL jack

NOTE

If a cable is connected to this jack, Hold data will not be sent from the PK OUT connector or the MIDI OUT connector. In this case, you can�t change the MIDI channel.

EXPRESSION OUT (Expression pedal output) Jack
This jack outputs the data from the expression pedal. When a stereo cable (phone-phone) (sold separately) is used to connect this jack to the VK-8�s EXPRESSION PEDAL jack, the expression pedal will control the overall volume of the VK-8.

NOTE NOTE

The expression pedal is designed only for Roland/Boss products. Connecting it to products made by manufacturers other than Roland or Boss may cause malfunctions. If a cable is connected to this jack, Expression data will not be output from the PK OUT connector or MIDI OUT connector.

11.

FOOT SW-L OUT/FOOT SW-R OUT (Foot switch L output /Foot switch R output) Jacks
These jacks output on/off data from the foot switches. When a monaural cable (phonephone) (sold separately) is used to connect this to the VK-8�s CONTROL PEDAL jack, you can use a foot switch to control functions other than rotary effect fast/slow or brake.

NOTE

If a cable is connected to this jack, on/off data from the foot switches will not be output from the PK OUT connector or the MIDI OUT connector.
