A
Pitch Bend/Modulation lever
You can raise or lower the pitch by moving this lever
to the left or right. Push the lever away from yourself
to apply modulation (normally vibrato) to the sound.
B
PHONES 1 & 2 sockets
This is where you can connect one or two pairs of
optional headphones (Roland RH-series). Doing so
switches off the internal speakers.
C
VOLUME knob
Use this knob to set the BK-5 OR’s global output vol-
ume (all signals transmitted to the speakers and OUT-
PUT sockets). The setting of this knob also determines
the volume in the headphones you may connect.
D
RHYTHM FAMILY buttons
These buttons are used to select the family of the
next rhythm you want to use. Pressing one of these
buttons calls up a list of all rhythms contained in the
selected family.
Pressing and holding this button locks the currently
selected rhythm (see p. 57).
E
TAP TEMPO button
Pressing this button several times allows you to
change the current rhythm’s or song’s tempo to the
value calculated from the speed at which the button
is pressed.
Pressing and holding this button locks the current
tempo setting (see p. 57).
F
TEMPO buttons
These buttons can be used to decrease or increase the
tempo of the currently selected rhythm or song.
Pressing them together recalls the rhythm’s or song’s
stored tempo value.
NOTE
You can also use the [TAP TEMPO] button E to set the
desired tempo.
G
SYNC START button
This button is used to activate or switch off the
BK-5 OR’s Sync Start or Sync Stop function. If it is on,
rhythm playback can be started or stopped by simply
playing a note or chord on the keyboard. See also
page 29.
While a song file is selected, this button stops play-
back.
H
BALANCE buttons
These buttons allow you to set the balance between
the rhythms and songs (BACKING) and the real-time
parts (PART).
