Roland RPU-3 Electronic Keyboard Triple Pedal Footswitch

The Roland RPU-3 is a triple pedal unit designed to replicate the feel and functionality of an acoustic grand piano's three-pedal assembly. It brings together the damper (sustain), sostenuto, and soft (una corda) pedals into a single housing, connecting to compatible Roland digital pianos via three individual 1/4-inch output jacks. This design allows each pedal to function independently, giving pianists the full range of expressive pedal techniques that serious repertoire demands — from subtle half-pedaling on the sustain to selective note-holding with the sostenuto pedal.

Beyond traditional piano pedaling, the RPU-3 can serve as a versatile hands-free controller on supported Roland instruments. On keyboards like the FP-90, the pedals can be assigned to functions such as selecting registrations or activating vocal effects, expanding the unit's usefulness for live performance scenarios. The RPU-3 is built to Roland's standards for stage and studio reliability, making it a practical upgrade for players using portable Roland pianos who want the complete pedal experience without investing in a full furniture-style stand with integrated pedals.
