Roland FS5U Footswitch Unlatch

Roland FS5U Footswitch Unlatch is a momentary unlatching footswitch designed for quick, hands-free control. It can be used with electronic keyboards as a sustain pedal, or with effects processors when you need to engage an effect only while the pedal is pressed.

For stage, studio, and production use, the FS-5U is useful when timing matters. Because the pedal is active only while depressed, it works well for short musical punctuation, quick effect hits, dramatic delay moments, or temporary reverb engagement.

Why It Helps

A momentary footswitch is simple, but it is valuable when the performer or operator needs control without taking their hands off the instrument or equipment. Press it, the function engages. Release it, the function stops.

That makes the FS-5U practical for keyboard sustain, quick effect punches, and performance moments where a latching switch would stay on too long.
