puter via this connector (page 17).

Note: Roland does not recommend using USB hubs, irre-
spective of whether they are active or passive. Please con-
nect only one USB memory to this port.

AUDIO INPUT R & L/MONO sockets
These sockets allow you to connect the audio outputs
of an external signal source (CD/mp3 player, synthe-
sizer, etc.).
(The [AUDIO IN] knob on the front panel allows you
to set the input level of the signals received via these
sockets.)
D
AUDIO OUTPUT R & L/MONO sockets
These sockets transmit all audio signals the BK-7m
generates as well as the signals you input to the
BK-7m.
NOTE
If you can/want to use only one channel on your external
amplifier, connect the L/MONO socket to its input. For opti-
mum sound quality, we recommend working in stereo,
though.

headphones (Roland RH-series).
