Released sometime around 1990, the Roland PK-5 (sometimes called the PK-51) is a sturdy 13-note dynamic MIDI pedalboard. With this unit, musicians can use their feet to trigger MIDI devices or play bass lines. It has several performance modes, including bass, poly, and drums, as well as velocity-sensitive pedals. It is a versatile instrument for both live and studio performances due to its sturdy steel construction and ability to transpose across nine octaves.
