Backing Keyboard BK-5 OR r

Local
This setting allows you to establish or remove the con-
nection between the BK-5 OR’s keyboard and the inter-
nal tone generator.
If you select “On” (default), playing on the BK-5 OR’s
keyboard or playing back a song/rhythm causes the
corresponding notes to sound. If you select “Off”, the
corresponding MIDI messages are no longer sent to the
internal tone generator – but they are still transmitted
to the MIDI OUT socket (or USB COMPUTER port) and
hence to external MIDI instruments. When a parameter
is modified inside a part, the display shows “---”.
Loading a MIDI Set
The MIDI Set environment contains two options with
preset settings. All you need to do is select them to
restore the default settings for the sections or aspects in
question. In addition, there are 8 MIDI Set memories
where you can save your own settings.
■ Key/Rhythm
This option recalls the factory MIDI settings for the
keyboard parts (UP1, UP2, LWR, MELODY INT) and the
rhythm parts (ADrum, ABass, Acc1~6). The most
important (and practical) use for this field is resetting
the MIDI transmit/receive channels of the real-time
and rhythm parts and to switch off MIDI transmis-
sion/reception of the song parts.
NOTE
This parameter applies to both reception (RX) and trans-
mission (TX). The BK-5 OR indeed allows you to set separate
TX and RX channels for each part.
■ PK Series
This option prepares the BK-5 OR for MIDI control
using a PK-series MIDI pedalboard. The most impor-
tant settings are: “Part Switch” is set to “Int” and
“Rhythm PcRx” is set to “On”.
■ Song
This option restores the factory settings for the
BK-5 OR’s SMF song parts and switches off the MIDI
transmission and reception of the real-time and
rhythm parts.
■ User1~8
The BK-5 OR also allows you to store and recall 8 dif-
ferent MIDI configurations.
NOTE
Loading a MIDI Set only changes the MIDI settings and has
no effect on the remaining parameters.

the “MIDI Set” field.
2. Press the [ENTER/SELECT] button to edit the
“MIDI Set” field.
The “MIDI Set” field is now displayed in reverse.

MIDI Set you want to load.
The BK-5 OR loads the selected MIDI Set.
Press the [ENTER/SELECT] button if you want to edit
other parameters on this page.
