Addendum
Thank you and congratulations on your choice of the Roland BK-7m. System version 1.05 has just been released. It introduces new functions and a few changes. If you own one of the first BK-7m units released by Roland, you can update its
operating system to version 1.05. Your BK-7m may already contain system version 1.05, however.
To check which system version you have, please see the procedure below. If the display says “V1.04” (or earlier), your
BK-7m needs to be updated. If the message reads “V1.05” (or higher), there is nothing you need to do, because your
BK-7m is already up-to-date.
Checking the BK-7m’s system version number
1. Switch on the BK-7m.
2. Press the [MENU] button.
MENU
The display changes to:
3. Rotate the [CURSOR/VALUE] dial to select
“Global”, then press the dial.
4. Rotate the [CURSOR/VALUE] dial to select
“Utility”, then press the dial.
5. Rotate the [CURSOR/VALUE] dial to select
“Version Info”.
Check the version number that is displayed here. (It
must be “1.05”.)
6. Press and hold the [EXIT] button to return to
the main page.

Support for MIDI Visual Control messages
The BK-7m now supports both MIDI Visual Control
messages (a new standardized way of remotely controlling external video devices) and the V-LINK protocol (the precursor of MIDI Visual Control messages).
Even though the messages are basically the same,
MVC devices expect a SysEx code to initiate video
control which is different from the one expected by
V-LINK-compatible devices.
Therefore, the following parameter has been added
to the BK-7m’s [MENU]‰ “Global”‰ “Utility” submenu:
Visual Ctrl
Mode
MVC, V-LINK This parameter allows
you to select the visual
control mode. The
option to select
depends on the messages supported by the
external device: MIDI
Visual Control (MVC) or
V-LINK.
Any reference to “V-LINK” in the owner’s manual
should be taken to mean “both MIDI Visual Control
and V-LINK”, as both are supported.
Additional Tones and Drum Sets
The BK-7m V1.05 adds 39 new oriental Tones and 2 new
oriental Drum Sets to the original sound set. See the lists
below.
This also means that the “Sounds” row in the “Specifications” section should now read as follows:
Sounds 1,131 tones
59 Drum Sets
