Hi all, how can I make my roland PK-5 midi pedal to work with PSR-2000? I intend to to use PK5 to control the AutoAccompaniment section(Start/Fill in A/B/C/D/Ending).If this is possible, how do I go about doing all those settings on both PK5 and PSR2000?Also, what other useful function on the PK5 can I use with my PSR2000.(I don't know much about midi channels Tx/Rx & all those complicated stuffs) thanks alot everyone.

I'm not sure about this, but that pedal is not intended for that kind of use. The PK5 is meant to play notes, not functions. I may be wrong, but I don't think it will do what you want.

Thanks uncle Dave.
I used to owned a Roland G-1000 and it works with the PK-5 without having to do any extra configurations on both the arranger and PK5(because the Intro/Fill in/Ending functions are default factory settings)I saw a posting on 11-06-2002 by George kaye who explained how to get Pk5 to work with PSR620 and I think he mentioned it is possible for PSR2000 but he did not explain how to.Please help me someone!!!!Thanks

Siahwayne: Here's the scoop on the possibility for getting the Roland PK-5 to trigger the PSR2000's arranger functions. This will be possible only if the PK5 can send to the PSR2000 the following midi messages:

Midi Messages (taken from page 33 of PSR2000 Data List Manual):

Start: FAH
Continue: FBH
Stop: FCH


and programmed to send the following SysEX strings to the PSR2000 (taken from page 44 of Yamaha PSR2000 Data List Manual):

Section Control:

FO 43 7E 00 ss dd F7

ss:
OOH: Intro A
01H: Intro B
02H: Intro C
03H: Intro D
08H: Main A
09H: Main B
0AH: Main C
0BH: Main D
10H: Fill in AA
11H: Fill in BB
12H: Fill in CC
13H: Fill in DD
18H: Break Fill
20H: Ending A
21H: Ending B
22H: Ending C
23H: Ending D

dd:
OOH: Switch off
7HF: Switch on

You must also remember to assign the midi transmit/receive channel on both the PK5 & PSR2000 to be the same channel.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Good luck and please keep me posted.
