ROLANDDp-10 Traditional Style Damper Pedal

Bought this for a Roland digital piano. One of the 2 great features of the DP-10 is that it support half pedalling. Instead of an on-off switch, there's actually a variable resistor inside the DP-10, meaning the pedal generates a continously variable output. It also means the pedal is silent, no annoying microswitch clicks when you depress it. On the side of the pedal is a switch that selects either switched or continuous mode. There's also a hex screw on the top which I assume is to adjust the travel, but I haven't changed it. The pedal cable is terminated in a stereo 1/4 inch jack plug.I mentioned there were 2 great features. The other is a life saver if you've experienced the joys of chasing a damper pedal around the floor with your foot whilst playing! Attached the bottom of the DP-10 is a hard rubber strip which can be rotated to create a projecting heel rest in front of the pedal. This genius idea ensures the pedal doesn't move on the floor and it works well, especially on carpet.Great quality pedal and recommended for Roland keyboards. However sadly this doesn't work correctly on Nord keyboards as the sustain action is inverted.

The Roland DP-10 is a great sustain / damper pedal for electronic keyboards 🎹The pedal has a function switch on the side to switch between continuous or switching modes, meaning it could be useful for other situations other than just sustain / damper if required. It doesn’t have a polarity option (unless you wanted to open it up and re-wire it yourself) but most modern keyboards have polarity settings built in.Underneath it has a non slip rubber foot at each end to help stop the pedal from sliding around, and also a rubber plate that rotates out 180 degrees - you place your heel on this while performing and this helps keep the pedal securely in place.The body of the pedal is plastic but it’s very robust and should last many years as long as you are not too careless when handling it - I’ve had my first Roland DP-10 for 20+ years and it’s still going strong! 💪

This has been a game changer for me, as opposed to the thing that came with my FP 30 x it's really good and well made

Nice product

Good solid pedal. Works well and has an extendable rubber pad to help keep it in place.

At first I just thought it would be a sustain pedal then found a switch on the side for full analogue capabilities for how much it is pressed down. So I instantly plugged it into my expression pedal socket on my midi controller (arturia) and it worked great, I actually like that it springs back, but even better with bitwig and I'm sure you can in many various other ways I can just map the expression pedal cc to the sustain cc and it works perfectly without needing to unplug it all the time.Build quality: Feels good, feels sturdyCable length: Adequate, should be enough for most people, but not all.Would I recommend it? Yes.

Many copies on the go but this is an original coming with a quality finish

Whatever that means.I needed a piano damper pedal. This is a piano damper pedal.I wanted one that could do half pedal. This can do half pedal.I REALLY wanted one that didn't make insane amounts of noise, and this one is SILENT.It has two modes, you get the continuous (which is what I wanted) and also standard on/off switch type.It's very sturdy, weighs double my old pedal (which was NOISY, not just when hitting the deck or being released, but in the up and down travel between too) and is very quiet in operation. If you don't slam it down or jump back off of it, the actual movement is completely silent. This is SUCH a relief, no one wants to play piano and have a crazy loud sound, I've never played an actual piano where the pedal itself made so much noise I could hear it, only the sound of the dampers moving.It outputs it's values from 0-127 very smoothly and is great in software that supports continuous damper pedals and doesn't move around the floor even if operated with bare feet (my last one used to crawl closer and closer to me when barefoot, must have sticky feets) thanks to the large rubber pad underneath that you swing around to extend in front of it which your foot then anchors in place.The only two downsides, and the reason I gave it four stars, are for barefoot operation. Firstly, because it's not shaped like a traditional piano pedal, it's not comfortable on the foot (it's narrow, and although rounded edged, still very square and gets between the pad of your foot and your toes in a way that a proper pedal shape just doesn't). Worse is that it absolutely it perfectly shaped to be able to pinch your flesh if depressed fully. Not all the time, but I've definitely been caught several times. The old pedal never did that, because of the bevelled shape around the base didn't allow skin to get pinched. The Roland is VERY squared off.Other than that, great solid, pedal with a really nice (and quiet!) action. Definitely recommend.
