Backing Keyboard BK-5 OR
Edit System
The following parameters are located on the display
page that can be selected using [MENU] button‰
“MIDI” ‰ “Edit System”.
The “Edit System” group contains the following
parameters:
Sync
The following parameters are located on the display
page that can be selected using [MENU] button‰
“MIDI” ‰ “Edit System” ‰ “Sync”.
The “Sync” parameters allow you to specify whether
or not the BK-5 OR should send MIDI real-time mes-
sages when you start rhythm or song playback. This
allows you to synchronize external instruments or
(software) sequencers with your BK-5 OR.
Rhythm Start/Stop Tx
If you activate this option, the BK-5 OR sends start or
stop messages when you start (or stop) rhythm play-
back.
Rhythm Clock Tx
If you activate this option the rhythm playback sends
MIDI Clock messages.
SMF Start/Stop Tx
Similar to “Rhythm Start/Stop Tx” but for songs.
SMF Clock Tx
Similar to “Rhythm Clock Tx” but for songs.
SMF Position Tx
If you switch this parameter on, the song playback
sends Song Position Pointer (SPP) messages that
indicate the current playback position.
Sync Rx
This parameter is used to specify whether rhythm
and song playback should be synchronized by an
external MIDI device.
Edit System Explanation
Sync These parameters are used to synchronize
external MIDI devices. See below.
Basic The parameters of this group affect the
BK-5 OR’s Basic channel. The Basic chan-
nel is used to receive and transmit Pro-
gram Change and Bank Select messages
for selecting Performances as well as for
the reception and transmission of other
kinds of messages that are not directly
related to a specific MIDI channel. See
page 111.
Rhythm The parameters of this group affect the
BK-5 OR’s Rhythm channel. The Rhythm
channel is used for receiving program
change and bank select messages that
select rhythm and volume messages that
change the rhythm’s volume. See
page 112.
NTA These parameters allow you to assign MIDI
channels to the BK-5 OR’s NTA parts
(Note-to-Arranger). Only notes received
on one of these channels are considered
chord information that can be used to
transpose rhythm playback in real-time.
See page 112.

are not related to the previous groups. See
page 113.
