Backing Keyboard BK-5 OR
r
111
Mode
Internal: Song or rhythm playback uses BK-5 OR
internal tempo.
Auto: A good setting for remote control of song or
rhythm playback (using a PK-series dynamic MIDI
pedal board, for example). If the BK-5 OR receives a
MIDI Start message (FA), it waits for Clock messages
that specify the tempo. If those Clock messages are
not received, the BK-5 OR starts playback using its
internal tempo. If, however, Clock messages (F8) fol-
low after the Start message, the BK-5 OR uses the
external tempo.
MIDI: Song or rhythm playback can be started or
stopped with MIDI real-time messages (Start, Stop,
Clock) received from an external clock source.
Remote: Song or rhythm playback waits for a start
message to start playback at its own tempo. When it
receives a stop message, playback stops. External
clock messages are ignored.
Basic
The following parameters are located on the display
page that can be selected using [MENU] button‰
“MIDI” ‰ “Edit System” ‰ “Basic”.
The Basic channel is used to receive and transmit
Program 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.
NOTE
If you select another channel, messages intended for the
Basic parameters might also cause other parameters to
change when you don’t want them to.
The following parameters are available here:
Tx
Switches the transmission of MIDI messages on the
Basic channel on or off.
Tx Channel
The channel used to transmit MIDI messages.
Performance PC Tx
This parameter is used to enable or disable the trans-
mission of program change and bank select messages
related to Performance selection.
Part Switch Tx
Whenever you mute or un-mute a part on the
“Rhythm Parts” page, the BK-5 OR transmits an
NRPN message that describes your action. Not send-
ing this message may be useful to keep your external
sequencer from recording it—or the receiving GS
module from muting the part assigned to that MIDI
channel.
Rx
Switches the reception of MIDI messages on the
Basic channel on or off.
Rx Channel
Use this parameter to assign a MIDI transmit channel
to the “Basic” channel.
Performance PC Rx
This parameter is used to enable or disable the recep-
tion of program change and bank select messages
related to Performance selection.
Master Volume Rx
Allows you to enable or disable the reception of Mas-
ter Volume messages that would change the
BK-5 OR’s overall volume. This is an exclusive mes-
sage common to all newer MIDI devices.
