Backing Keyboard BK-5 OR
There are three Ritardando functions: one for all
rhythm patterns, one for Ending patterns and one for
fill-ins (see “Fill Ritardando” above). They all use the
“Tempo Change” settings on the following page.
Tempo Change Accel/Ritard: Allows you to set the
degree (ratio) by which the tempo changes when the
“Acceler” or “Ritard” function is triggered. Example: if
the tempo is currently q= 100, the value “20%”
means that the tempo drops to q= 80 or rises to q=
120.
Tempo Change CPT: Use this parameter to specify
how long a ritardando/accelerando should take. In
most cases, 480 CPT (i.e. one measure) is probably the
most musical choice.
Tempo Change Fill Rit: This parameter allows you to
specify to what extent fill-in playback should be
slowed down when the “Fill Ritardando” function is
on.
■ Using the Ritardando/Accelerando functions
For general applications (any rhythm division) pro-
ceed as follows:
•Assign the “Arr Rit” or “Arr Acc” function to an
optional footswitch (see p. 73).
•Press the [START/STOP] button to start rhythm play-
back.
•Press the assigned footswitch.
‘Melody Intelligent’ parameters
This function group can be selected using [MENU] but-
ton ‰ “Performance Edit” ‰ “Melody Intelligent” or by
pressing and holding the [MELODY INTELL] button.
The following parameters are available:
Switch
Select “On” if you want to add a MELODY INTELL part.
This part is triggered by the chord recognition of the
BK-5 OR’s Arranger and plays automatic harmonies
that are added to the melody that you are playing
using the UP1 part. You can choose from among 18
harmony types (see below).
NOTE
This “Switch” parameter can also be assigned to an optional
footswitch (see p. 73).
Type
Allows you to select one of the 18 harmony types:
2nd Tone
Depending on the selected “Type” setting, a second
harmony is added to the “Melody Intelligent” part. If
you like, you can select the desired Tone for the sec-
ond harmony voice using this parameter.
Intell Threshold
This value represents the lowest velocity value
(between “0” and “127”) of the UP1 part that triggers
the “Melody Intelligent” part. If you don’t need this
switching function, select “0”.
