New Function to Recall and Edit
Performances

Recalling Performance Memories in
Adjacent Positions

The selection procedure described here may come in handy when
all Performance settings you need for a given song are located in
adjacent memories and when you need to be able to switch quickly
between them..

1. Load the required Performance / Music Assistant List.

For details see “Loading a Performance/‘Music Assistant’/‘Factory
Songs’ List” in the BK-3 owner’s manual.

In the example above, we loaded the “Music Assistant” List.

2. Press and hold the [NUMERIC] button. The button lights.

The Performance List page changes to:

The TONE [1]~[4] buttons ash. To the left of each memory entry,
a number is shown. This number corresponds to the TONE button
[1]~[4] that you need to press to recall the assigned Performance
memory.

NOTE

Please bear in mind that these assignments change when
you edit the Performance List in question using “Delete
Performance” , “Move Performance” or “Copy Performance”.

The TONE [0] and [5] buttons, on the other hand, light steadily
because they are used to scroll through the list in steps of 4
memories. Pressing [5] while the above page is shown, for
instance, will display Performance memories 5~8, which are
again assigned to the TONE [1]~[4] buttons.

3. Press the TONE [1]~[4] button that is assigned to the

Performance memory you need.

The assigned Performance memory is recalled and shown in reverse
in the display.

4. Press the TONE [5] button to select the next group of four

performances. Alternatively, press the TONE [0] button to
select the previous group of four performances.

The display shows either the next (TONE [5]) or the previous (TONE
[0]) set of 4 Performance memories.

In the example above we pressed the TONE button [5].

5. Repeat the steps (3) and (4) above to recall other

Performance memories when you need them.

6. Press and hold the [NUMERIC] button again to exit from

this type of selection.

Press the [EXIT] button to leave the list page without exiting from
this type of selection.
