Using oriental tunings
Your BK-5 OR allows you to change the tuning of the
keys, which then applies to all notes of the same name.
Here’s an example: if you press the USER SCALE [Bb]
button (indicator lights), that note’s tuning is lowered
by a quarter tone (–50 cents). This setting applies to all
B-flat keys on the keyboard.

1. Press a USER SCALE button to tune the cor-
responding note a quarter tone down (the
button must light).
2. If you also want to tune down other notes,
press the corresponding button(s).
If you pressed the wrong button (indicator lights),
press it again so that its indicator goes dark again.
The pitch of the corresponding notes returns to nor-
mal.
3. Press and hold the USER SCALE button of
the note whose tuning you wish to change
until the display looks as follows:
(The note name depends on the USER SCALE button
you press.)
You can also select this parameter using [MENU] but-
ton ‰ “Performance Edit” ‰ “Scale Tune”.
