Backing Module BK-7m
Chorus Type: Chorus broadens the spatial image of
the sound and creates a stereo impression. You can
choose from 8 types of chorus.
Reverb Level & Chorus Level: These parameters
allow you to modify the output level of the Reverb
(or Chorus) processor.
Style Volume/Song Volume: This parameter allows
you to set the overall volume of the selected Style or
song if you think it is too loud/soft.
Style Tempo/Song Tempo: Allows you to change the
Style’s or song’s tempo (q= 20~250).
Transpose: This parameter allows you to transpose all
song parts (except the drums) up to 12 semitones (1
octave) up or down. This value is written to the song
data and used every time you play back this song.
NOTE
This parameters is not available for Music Styles.
Undo Changes: Select this entry to cancel all “Style/
Song Makeup Tools” settings you have made and to
revert to the previously saved version.
2. If you are satisfied with your changes and
wish to preserve them, save your Music
Style song to the USB memory.
See “Saving your new Music Style or song (SMF) ver-
sion” on p. 81.
NOTE
The changes you make using the procedure described
above can be “burned” into the Music Style song file using
the “Freeze Data” command (see p. 81). Doing so will allow
you to hear those changes on any sequencer (software)
you use. Changes you don’t “freeze” are nevertheless stored
when you save the edited Music Style song file—but only
the BK-7m can read them.
Instrument
To edit the Instrument parameters, use [MENU] button
‰ “Makeup Tools” ‰ “Instrument”.
The display now shows all instruments used by the
selected Music Style or SMF song.
1. Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] to select the
instrument you want to change, then press
the dial.
The display changes to:
The [MENU] button’s indicator flashes.
2. Press the [MENU] button to jump to the
location where the instrument is used.
Playback starts automatically from that point.
3. Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] to select the
parameter you wish to edit, then press the
dial.
NOTE
The Style and Song Makeup Tools environments do not
support the BK-7m’s SuperNATURAL sounds, which can
therefore not be selected.
Hall1,
Hall2
These types simulate the reverb of a small (1)
or large (2) concert hall and thus sound much
“bigger” than the Room types above.
Plate This algorithm simulates the acoustics of a
concert hall.
Delay A delay effect (no reverb). Works a lot like an
echo effect and thus repeats the sounds.
Pan Delay This is a stereo version of the above delay
effect. It creates repetitions that alternate
between the left and right channels.
Setting Meaning
Original The song uses its own (programmed)
chorus settings.
Chorus
1~4
These are conventional chorus effects
that add spaciousness and depth to the
sound.
Fbk Chorus This is a chorus with a flanger-like effect
and a soft sound.
Flanger This is an effect that sounds somewhat
like a jet airplane taking off and landing.
ShortDly This is a full-fledged delay effect that
can be used instead of a chorus or
flanger. As you will see, there are a lot of
parameters you can program.
Short Dly FB This is a short delay with many repeats.
