Works perfect... needs protection against slipping on surfaces

I love the pedals.... Only criticism is, that the rubber at the bottom is not protecting it well enough from slipping away. So depending on the surface you put it on, you might need some work around

Purchased this unit for use with the Fantom, but it also seems very useful in combination with the Jupiter-80.

The unit is very sturdy and has enough weight to stay in place.

The pedal action is smooth and sensitive.

I will buy another RPU-3 for the Jupiter-80 in the future.

Roland Piano Pedals

The pedals arrived after a restocking delay due to global problems. They were well packaged. Connected to the Roland FP60 they have further enhanced the quality of the piano sounds and appear to be of very high quality indeed, as one would expect from a Roland product.

Good!

It does what is supposed to do. Maybe in the future it will be possible only with one cable. Anyway it is a good triple pedal !

Best triple pedal unit I've ever tried!

Kudos to Roland, this is a really good pedal! Build quality is excellent, it is very sturdy and VERY solid, heavy. It doesn't budge, even on lacquered floor without any cloth beneath it to prevent slippage (it has a number of anti-slip rubbers which seem to do a great job, but I think the main thing that's preventing this pedal to move is its sheer mass).

I bought it to use it with my Kurzweil PC3K8, which doesn't support continuous pedals in its regular sustain, sostenuto and soft pedal inputs, but I will modify the wiring so that it works. The pedal is absolutely worth it!

Get one, especially if you have a Roland board that supports it. You will not regret it!

Nice Product

Good weight and very well built. The 3 pedals are continuous, using potentiometers. They are of the normally closed type (low impedance) , and go to progressively to higher impedance when pressed. They are terminated with 3 stereo jack plugs, so should be easy to use with a variety of keyboards.
