10. Using the BK-7m as a USB player
This section explains how to playback MIDI (SMF) and audio songs stored on an optional USB memory. Note that it is also
possible to select Music Styles on that device and to use them in the same way as the internal Styles. New song and
Music Style files can be copied to the USB memory using your computer as you purchase them.
Getting ready to use the BK-7m as
a USB player
1.
On your computer, copy the new song and
Music Style files to an optional USB memory
(memory stick).
NOTE
Use USB memory sold by Roland (M-UF-series). We cannot
guarantee operation if any other USB memory is used.
2.
Connect the USB memory to your BK-7m.
NOTE
Carefully insert the optional USB memory all the way into
the port until it is firmly in place.
NOTE
The BK-7m supports USB memories with a capacity of up
to 2TB.
