Muting tracks while recording others
After programming a few tracks, you may find that cer-
tain parts tend to confuse you. That is why the BK-5 OR
allows you to mute tracks that you do not want to hear
during recording.
1.
On the main Rhythm Composer page, use
the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial and [ENTER/
SELECT] button to select the “TRACK”
parameter.
The field below the “TRACK” parameter shows the
name of the Tone or Drum Set assigned to the
selected track (“TR-909” in our example).
2.
Press the [TRACK MUTE] button.
An “M” appears next to the track you have just
muted.
3.
Press the [TRACK MUTE] button again to
switch off the mute function (the “M” dis-
appears).
NOTE
This mute setting only applies to the Rhythm Composer
page. During normal Arranger playback, all tracks that con-
tain data are played back. Use the “Erase” function to
remove parts that should not appear in your accompani-
ments (see p. 93).
Solo
If you need to listen to a track in isolation, press and
hold the [TRACK MUTE] button and start playback.
This mutes all other tracks, while the selected track is
flagged with an “S”.
Press the [TRACK MUTE] button again to switch off
the function of the Solo function.
NOTE
If the track you solo was muted, it will be soloed like any
other track. After switching off the Solo function, the track
in question is once again muted.
NOTE
Save your rhythm before trying it out with the Arranger.
If the rhythm stops unexpectedly during playback in
Arranger mode, try different chords. Chances are that
you only programmed the major pattern, so that the
Arranger selects an empty pattern when you play a
minor or seventh chord. Remember to set the Mode
parameter to “M=m=7” until you have come to grips
with the possibilities of the BK-5 OR’s Arranger. That
way, those three patterns will sound alike, but at
least you are sure that the Arranger does not stop
when you play a minor or seventh chord.
