MIDI parameters
This section discusses the BK-5 OR’s MIDI parameters
and the associated memories called “MIDI Sets”.
■ What’s MIDI
“MIDI” stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Inter-
face.” It is a universal standard that allows perfor-
mance data to be exchanged among electronic musi-
cal instruments and computers. The BK-5 OR pro-
vides a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT socket so that perfor-
mance data can be received from other MIDI instru-
ments. It is also equipped with a COMPUTER port
(USB) that can receive and transmit MIDI data from a
computer.
The MIDI parameters can be selected using [MENU]
button ‰ “MIDI”.
The BK-5 OR’s MIDI environment contains the fol-
lowing options:
