Connecting to the VK-88

 

Use the PK cable that is supplied with the VK-88 to connect the VK-88 and PK-25A. 

 

The supplied AC adaptor is not used. The PK-25A will be turned on/off by the power switch of 
the VK-88, regardless of the position of the PK-25A’s own power switch.

 

1.

 

Make sure that the VK-88’s power is turned off.

 

2.

 

Set the PEDAL KEYBOARD [SELECT] switch (located on the rear panel 
of the VK-88) to the PK IN position.

 

3.

 

Use the PK cable that is supplied with the VK-88 to connect the VK-
88’s PK IN connector to the PK-25A’s PK OUT connector.

 

Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By 
turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other 
devices.

 

4.

 

As explained on the VK-88 Owner’s Manual, turn on the power of the 
VK-88.

 

5.

 

Make sure that the indicator on the rear panel of the PK-25A is lit.

 

6.

 

Play the pedal keyboard. If you hear the pedal part of the VK-88, 
connections are complete.

 

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required 
before the unit will operate normally.

 

If connecting the PK-25A to a VK-88, set the OCT SHIFT (Octave Shift) switch to the “0” position.

PK IN Jack

The VK-88 includes a PK cable that is longer than 
the PK cable supplied with the PK-25A. If you are 
connecting the PK-25A to a VK-88, we recommend 
using the PK cable that is supplied with the VK-88.
