Owner’s Manual
Thank you and congratulations on your choice of the Roland BK-5 OR Backing Keyboard.
To ensure that you obtain the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the BK-5 OR’s functionality, please read
this owner’s manual carefully.
About this manual
You should first read the chapter “Before you start using the BK-5 OR” on p. 17. It explains how to connect the AC
adaptor and turn on the power. This Owner’s Manual explains everything, from the BK-5 OR’s basic operations to more
advanced functions.
Conventions in this manual
In order to explain the operations as clearly as possible, this manual uses the following conventions:
•Text enclosed in square brackets [ ] indicates the name of a button or knob. Example: the [MENU] button.
• Paragraphs that begin with “NOTE” are cautionary statements that you must read.
• Paragraphs that begin with “MEMO” contain useful information that may come in handy.
•The numbers of pages that you can turn to for additional or related information are given like this: (p. **).
The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note,
however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., include newer sounds), so what
you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.
Before using this instrument, carefully read “Using the unit safely” on p. 4 and “Important notes” on p. 6. Those sections provide
information concerning the proper operation of the BK-5 OR. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good
grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, the manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept
on hand as a convenient reference.
