roland / moog control pedals

[Kevin Dean]

these type of pedals I've seen used by Rush , The Police . can anyone give me any feedback on makes & what are they like to use live ? cheers.

the roland pk5 is the best as you have complete control live over octave, prog change and even midi channel, they are built the best also, sting uses a set for synth sounds along with a set of taurus, i use a set with moog minitaur just awesome, i have owned the original taurus , the sound is spot on.

I don't know anything about these ,
So with the Roland do you need anything else like a keyboard or sound module ?

I use the newer PK6 with a moog slim phatty and the strymon mobius and timeline pedals. I toyed with the minitaur but I didn't like that the presets weren't that accessible. Plus I wanted an arpeggiator like the Taurus 3. If you want to use the Roland pedals you'll need a sound module as they're only controllers.
