Important notes

BK-7m

1. Important notes

In addition to the items listed under “Using the unit safely” on p. 4, please read and observe the following:

Power supply

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• Using the BK-7m near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this instrument or move it further away from the source of interference.

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use it in the vicinity of such receivers.

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

•When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the BK-7m. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

• Avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, nonabrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

• Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional precautions

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored on a USB memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the BK-7m’s buttons, other controls and jacks/connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

•When connecting/disconnecting cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the BK-7m’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially late at night).

•When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-series, sold separately) or pedal switch (Roland DP-series, BOSS FS-5U). By connecting any other expression pedal or footswitch, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage the unit.

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Storage devices that can be connected to the BK-7m’s USB MEMORY port

• The BK-7m allows you to connect commercially available USB Flash memory. You can purchase such devices at a computer store, a digital camera dealer, etc.

• Though external hard disks with a capacity in excess of 2TB can be used, please bear in mind that the BK-7m can manage a maximum of 2TB. (FAT-32 formatted storage devices can be used right away.)

• Use USB memory sold by Roland (M-UF-series). We cannot guarantee operation if any other USB memory is used.

Before using external USB storage devices

•When connecting a USB memory, firmly insert it all the way into the EXTERNAL MEMORY port.

• Do not touch the pins of the EXTERNAL MEMORY port or allow them to become dirty.

•While using an external USB memory, please observe the following points when handling it:

• To prevent damage from static electrical charges, discharge any

static electricity that might be present in your body before handling a USB memory.

• Do not touch the terminals with your fingers or any metal

object.

• Do not bend or drop a USB memory, or subject it to strong

impact.

• Do not leave a USB memory in direct sunlight or in locations

such as a closed-up automobile.

• Do not allow a USB memory to become wet.

• Do not disassemble or modify your external USB memory.

•When connecting a USB memory, position it horizontally with the BK-7m’s USB MEMORY port and insert it without using excessive force. The USB MEMORY port may be damaged if you use excessive force when inserting a USB memory.

• Do not insert anything other than a USB memory (e.g., wire, coins, other types of device) into the USB MEMORY port. Doing so will damage the BK-7m’s USB MEMORY port.

Features

BK-7m

2. Features

The BK-7m is a professional backing module designed to provide everything the entertaining artist and serious amateur musician needs on the stage, in the studio, or at home.

High-quality sounds

The best sounds generated by a top-level sound generator with 128-voice polyphony.

The BK-7m also contains two sounds that use SuperNATURAL technology to realistically express the sounds and simulate performance techniques of these acoustic instruments.

Technology

SuperNATURAL is Roland’s proprietary sound-generation technology that realistically reproduces the tonal changes and performance techniques distinctive of an acoustic instrument, allowing you to perform music that is natural and richly expressive.

High-quality Music Styles

Your BK-7m comes loaded with over 400 impressive accompaniment covering every musical genre. Each Style comprises 4 Intros, 4 Main variations, 4 Endings, 3 “Up” and 3 “Down” Fill-Ins.

Four different settings for each Music Style (One Touch)

Four different settings that assign the most suitable tones, effects and other parameters to the real-time parts depending on the Music Style you select.

USB-based Standard MIDI Files and Style player

The BK-7m plays Standard MIDI Files and Music Styles directly from a connected USB memory.

16 Song parts

The BK-7m also provides 16 Song parts, which are used for Standard MIDI File playback but can also be controlled via MIDI (a computer connected to the MIDI IN socket or the COMPUTER USB port). This allows you to use the BK-7m as a 16-part multitimbral MIDI tone generator.

Cover function for Standard MIDI files and Music Styles

Simply by selecting one of 30 presets, you can cause a Viennese waltz to be played back by a heavy metal band, etc. Even though the arrangement (rhythm, riffs) does not change, the song’s character can be changed beyond recognition.

Song and Style Makeup Tools for Standard MIDI Files and Music Styles

These tools allow you to modify songs in no time without knowing the MIDI commands normally used to perform such changes.

Performance List function

This function allows you to save nearly all of the BK-7m’s settings for each song and/or Music Style you will be using during your performances. The list that contains these settings can be saved to a USB memory and loaded from there whenever the need arises.

USB-based audio player and audio recorder

The BK-7m contains an audio player function that allows you to play back mp3 and WAV files directly from a connected USB memory.

The BK-7m also allows you to record your performances. The resulting WAV files (audio) can be played back on the BK-7m itself.

Wizard connection

Simply following the instructions of the BK-7m’s Wizard connection will allow you to connect the BK-7m to an external MIDI controller (digital piano, MIDI master keyboard, digital accordion, etc.) and to start playing right away.

Four real-time parts

The BK-7m comes with four MIDI parts (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower, Manual Bass) that can be played in real time—either together or in isolation.

16 NTA parts (Note-to-Arranger)

The BK-7m provides up to 16 MIDI parts dedicated to Arranger control via MIDI (“Note-to-Arranger”).

Multi-effects for Music Styles or Standard MIDI files and real-time parts

With a view to obtaining the highest possible sound quality, the BK-7m contains three dedicated multieffects processors (MFX A, B, and C) for the Standard MIDI Files and Music Styles you play back. In addition, there is one MFX processor for the real-tim parts (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower, Manual Bass).

Composite Video Out

The BK-7m’s VIDEO OUTPUT socket can be connected to an external screen, allowing your audience or fellow musicians to follow the lyrics and chord symbols of the songs you perform.

…and so much more!

Press the [EXIT] button if you prefer not to save these settings. In that case, the BK-7m goes on using the last configuration you selected.

The settings of the last MIDI Set you saved will be loaded each time you switch on the BK-7m. There is thus no need to use the “Wizard Connection” function as long as you don’t change your MIDI setup.

NOTE

In addition to the parameters that can be saved to the “User1” MIDI Set, the “Wizard Connection” also saves other settings. See page 87 for details.

Details about the ‘Wizard Connection’ categories

Depending on the category and option inside that category, the BK-7m may ask you to play a few notes on the external instrument. This allows it to automatically set the correct MIDI channels and to make several other useful settings.

See also “‘Wizard Connection’ MIDI channel settings” on p. 26 for an overview of the other settings performed by the “Wizard Connection” function.

•the digital piano is already on when you switch on the BK-7m. In “Soft Thru: Piano” mode, the BK-7m transmits the note messages received via MIDI IN back to its MIDI OUT socket. Those messages are then used to trigger the digital piano’s tone generator. The piano’s “Local Off” setting indeed means that its keyboard is no longer connected to its internal tone generator.

Soft Thru: Piano

MIDI OUT

The keyboard’s messages are returned to the piano.

MIDI IN

MIDI OUT

What you play on the keyboard is transmitted to the BK-7m. The piano’s tone generator does not receive these messages.

‘DIGITAL PIANO’ category

Select “ROLAND” for a digital piano made by Roland that transmits on MIDI channel 1 by default.

•The only step will be “Wizard Settings will be saved” (see step (7) above).

Select “OTHERS” if your digital piano transmits on a different MIDI channel. Here, there are two steps:

•“Play a note on piano keyboard” ‰ Press any key on your digital piano.

•“Wizard Settings will be saved” (see step (7) above).

NOTE

If necessary, set the digital piano’s MIDI transmit and receive channels to the same number.

•The digital piano can be used to play the BK-7m’s real-time parts and to control the Arranger.

• Changing the status of the [SPLIT] button allows you to alternate between two chord recognition modes: “Pianist” ([SPLIT] button dark) and “Intelligent” ([SPLIT] button lights). See “Using Split mode” on p. 39 for details.

• See page 27 for how to switch the real-time parts on and off.

About ‘Soft Thru: Piano’

The “DIGITAL PIANO” settings automatically select the “Soft Thru: Piano” setting, which means that the BK-7m transmits a “Local Off” message to the piano when you switch it on. This only works if the following conditions are met:

•the BK-7m’s MIDI OUT socket is connected to the digital piano’s MIDI IN socket.

This connection is necessary to ensure that the digital piano’s tone generator does not receive the chords you play in the left half (while the [SPLIT] button lights), because the chord notes are usually only used to specify the arranger’s key.

NOTE

The digital piano’s “Local” parameter is not reset when you disconnect the MIDI cables. You may have to do this manually (see the digital piano’s owner’s manual). In most instances, however, switching the piano off and back on will reset the piano’s “Local” parameter to “On”.

‘ACCORDION’ category

Select “V-ACCORDION” if you want to control the BK-7m from a Roland FR-series instrument. Its treble, orchestral, bass & chord, and (if available) Free Bass sections will trigger the UP1, UP2, LWR and MBS parts respectively. The chords you play with the chord buttons (left hand) are used to “feed” the BK-7m’s Arranger.

•The only step will be “Wizard Settings will be saved” (see step (7) on page 22).

NOTE

The BK-7m’s wizard assumes that the FR-series accordion uses the default MIDI channel numbers.

The “Wizard Connection” function sets the BK-7m’s chord recognition to “Accordionist1” or “Accordionist2” (irrespective of whether or not the [SPLIT] button lights) and activates the “Split” and “Arranger Type” filters of the “Performance Hold” function to ensure that those settings don’t change when you recall another Performance memory or One Touch setting.

NOTE

Roland recommends leaving the [SPLIT] button off while you are using an “ACCORDION” category setting.

‘MASTER KEYBOARD’ category

Select “ONE CHANNEL” if your MIDI master keyboard only transmits on one MIDI channel. That MIDI channel will be used to control the BK-7m’s real-time parts UP1, UP2, LWR and MBS (only the ones whose button lights) and to “feed” the Arranger with chord information.

Here, there are two steps:

•“Play a note on master keyboard” ‰ Press any key

on the external MIDI device.

•“Wizard Settings will be saved” (see step (7) on

page 22).

NOTE

The “Type” setting (page 60) depends on the status of the [SPLIT] button: “Pianist” ([SPLIT] off) or “Intelligent” ([SPLIT] on).

Select “MULTI CHANNEL” if your MIDI master keyboard transmits on several MIDI channels simultaneously. The MIDI channels for the UP1, UP2, LWR and MBS parts are detected during the “Wizard” procedure. The chords you play in the lower zone (LWR) of your master keyboard are also used by the BK-7m’s Arranger.

Here, there are five steps:

You can also select the BK-7m’s Tones via MIDI. Be aware, however, that if the BK-7m receives a sound select cluster (bank select + program change message) for which there is no Tone, the display shows “---” instead of a Tone name and the real-time part in question no longer sounds.

Selecting SuperNATURAL sounds (UP1 part)

The BK-7m contains two high-quality brass Tones based on Roland’s SuperNATURAL technology. These are called “N.Trombone” and “N.Tenor Sax”. See the “Tone List” on p. 91.

Various expressive performance elements typical of brass instruments were difficult to play on a keyboard, but can now be reproduced without special operations and played expressively with a realistic tone. If you play legato, the sound changes smoothly between notes. If you play staccato, the sound has a crisp attack.

If you play a note and then press a second key without releasing the previous key, only the second note sounds (monophonic). If, however, you press several keys simultaneously, the UP1 part plays chords (polyphonic).

Other parameters that can be controlled in realtime are:

Music Style functions

9. Music Style functions

The BK-7m contains a function that plays back automatic accompaniments called “Music Styles”. This section explains how to take advantage of the BK-7m’s accompaniments.

Volume balance between the backing and the real-time parts

If the Music Style accompaniment is too loud or too soft with respect to the real-time parts you are using, you can change the balance with the [BALANCE] knob:

BALANCE

Turn it towards “PART” to make the accompaniment softer, or towards “BACKING” if the real-time parts are too loud with respect to the accompaniment.

About the Music Styles

The BK-7m can generate interactive accompaniments based on the Music Style you select. Each Music Style is a typical accompaniment for a given musical genre. The BK-7m comes with 433 internal Music Styles divided over 10 families (see the “RHYTHM FAMILY” section on the front panel).

The melodic accompaniment parts of the selected Music Styles follow the chords you play on the external MIDI controller (keyboard, MIDI accordion, MIDI guitar, etc.). The BK-7m uses special MIDI parts to receive this note information: “NTA”, which is short for “Note-toArranger”. Your MIDI controller must therefore transmit its note information for the accompaniment function (Arranger) on a MIDI channel assigned to an NTA part.

Using Music Styles

The “interactive” aspect about the Music Styles is that you can change the key of the accompaniment simply by playing different notes or chord on your MIDI controller. Additionally, you can select different variations (more or less complex arrangements) for the active Music Style. The BK-7m provides several buttons for this.

■ START/STOP

This button is used to start and stop Music Style playback. While a Music Style is running, the button’s indicator flashes red on the first beat of each bar, and green on the remaining beats.

NOTE

You can also start (and stop) Music Style playback simply by playing on the external MIDI controller. See the next function.

Music Style functions

■ ENDING

This button allows you to end your songs with a suitable closing section if you don’t want to simply stop Music Style playback. The behavior of the Ending pattern depends on when you press the [ENDING] button:

[ENDING] Behavior

Pressed before starting Music Style playback

Pressed during Music Style playback

The indicator lights. When you start Music Style playback, the Arranger plays a musical ending. At the end of the phrase, playback stops.

The indicator flashes to signal that the ENDING pattern will begin on the next downbeat. When the ending is finished, Music Style playback stops.

■ AUTO FILL IN

When this button lights, the BK-7m plays a transition before switching to the newly selected VARIATION pattern. Example: if the VARIATION [1] pattern is running, pressing the [4] button will not switch to that pattern right away—the BK-7m first plays a fill-in to announce the new song section.

NOTE

The duration of the fill-ins (transitions) can be halved if you like. See “Fill In Half Bar” on p. 60.

Selecting Music Styles

Press a RHYTHM FAMILY button to select the Music Style family.

There are four different ENDING patterns, that can be selected using the VARIATION [1], [2], [3] and [4] buttons. Again, the VARIATION buttons determine the complexity of the arrangement.

■ BASS INV

This button is used to switch the “Bass Inversion” function on or off. While the button is dark, the Music Style’s bass part always plays the fundamental of your notes or chords. Example: if you play a chord consisting of the notes C, E and G (which is recognized as a C major chord), the bass part plays a C.

If the [BASS INV] button lights, the Music Styles bass part uses the lowest notes of the chords you play. Example: if you play a chord consisting of the notes E, G and C (still a C major chord), the bass part plays an E. This function therefore gives you more artistic licence.

The indicator of the button you press lights and the display shows a list of the Music Styles that belong to this family:

In the example shown above, we pressed the [LIVE BAND] button.

Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select the desired Music Style, then press the dial to confirm your selection.

When you start playback, you will notice that active parts are indicated by moving bar graphs that simulate level meters. The bar graphs of muted parts do not move.

If there is no need to save your settings, press and hold the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.

Using Split mode

In Split mode, the BK-7m transmits note messages below the split point to the MBS, LWR and NTA (Noteto-Arranger) parts. The note numbers above the split point, however, are transmitted to the UP2 and UP1 parts.

This only works if your external MIDI controller transmits all note messages on the same MIDI channel and if the BK-7m is set to receive on one MIDI channel only (see “‘Wizard Connection’ MIDI channel settings” on p. 26). Therefore, we suggest activating Split mode only if you use a digital piano or a single-zone MIDI master keyboard.

NOTE

In most cases, the default setting for the split point is note number 60 (C4). When you select a “DIGITAL PIANO” option (see p. 22), however, the split point is set to note number 54 (F#3). You can also change the split point to a different note (see “Split Point” on p. 59).

Press the [SPLIT] button (its indicator lights).

the MBS and/or LWR parts (if they are active). Note numbers above the split point can be used to play melodies using the UP1 and/or UP2 part.

In Split mode, the “Type” parameter (see p. 60) is automatically set to “Intelligent”.

NOTE

See page 27 for how to select the real-time parts you want to use.

NOTE

You can activate a “Hold” function for the LWR part. See “Lower Hold” on p. 59.

Press the [SPLIT] button again.

The BK-7m leaves Split mode and the [SPLIT] indicator goes dark and chord recognition (see “Type” on p. 60) is set to “Pianist”. This setting works as follows: the Arranger decodes every chord you play – no matter where you play it. Causing the Arranger to play another chord requires that you play at least a triad (i.e. the three notes that make up a major or minor chord). You can play more than three chord notes but remember that two notes won’t cause the Arranger to change the key.

SPLIT

The BK-7m is now in Split mode: note numbers below the split point (see “Split” on p. 50) are used to transpose Music Styles playback in real-time and to play

12. Performance Lists

Backing Module BK-7m

Performance Lists

Performance/Music Assistant Info

The “Performance List” is a list of up to 999 Performance memories. Each Performance memory contains a reference to the desired Music Style or song and all settings you want to load along with that Music Style or song (see “‘Performance Edit’ parameters” on p. 50), including settings like INTRO/ENDING status, selected VARIATION, etc.

The Performance memories you create are saved to the selected “Performance List”. This allows you to prepare one set of Performance memories for weddings, another for corporate events, a third for anniversaries, etc. Performance Lists always reside on a USB memory.

It is perfectly possible to program several Performance memories for one song. Selecting a Performance memory is a lot faster than calling up one of the BK-7m’s functions, modifying the settings, etc., while playing. You could program one Performance memory for the first part of a song, another for the bridge and a third one for the closing section. Doing so allows you to “play” with the effect settings of the various processors, for example.

NOTE

The BK-7m is supplied with one Performance List called “Music Assistant”. This list cannot be deleted or edited.

The display now shows all Performance Lists it found on the USB memory. (The internal “Music Assistant” list is always displayed in the top line.)

NOTE

If you already loaded a Performance List, the display immediately displays the Performance memories it contains. To load a different Performance List from the USB memory, press the PERFORMANCE [LIST] button again and proceed with step (4) below.

NOTE

If the USB memory contains no Performance List files, or if the memory is not connected (properly), the BK-7m only displays the “Music Assistant” list.

Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select the Performance List you want to use.

Press the dial to confirm your selection.

‘Performance Edit’ parameters

Filter Up: The cutoff frequency of the Tone assigned to the selected part can be raised (so that the sound becomes brighter).

Filter Down: The cutoff frequency of the Tone assigned to the selected part can be lowered (so that the sound becomes mellower).

NOTE

Depending on the value you set for “Cut Off”, the “Filter Up” and “Down” parameters may have no audible effect. That is also the case of Tones whose cutoff frequency is already preset to the minimum value.

Modulation: Select this function if you want that an MIDI Aftertouch message control the modulation.

Pitch Up: Select this function if you want MIDI aftertouch messages to move notes up to two semi-tones up.

Pitch Down: Select this function if you want MIDI aftertouch messages to move notes up to two semitones down.

Volume Up: This setting allows you to increase the volume of the selected part using MIDI aftertouch messages.

Volume Down: This setting allows you to decrease the volume of the selected part using MIDI aftertouch messages.

Cut Off

This filter parameter allows you to make the selected sound darker or brighter. Positive settings mean that more overtones will be allowed to pass, so that the sound becomes brighter. The further this value is set in the negative direction, the fewer overtones will be allowed to pass and the sound will become softer (darker).

Setting

NOTE

For some sounds, positive (+) Cutoff settings will cause no noticeable change because the preprogrammed Cutoff parameter is already set to its maximum value.

NOTE

For some sounds, negative (–) “Resonance” settings may produce no noticeable change because the Resonance is already set to the minimum value.

Parameter Setting

Resonance –64~+63

Attack (only for Tones)

This parameter adjusts the onset of the sound. Negative values speed up the attack, so that the sound becomes more aggressive.

Parameter Setting

Attack –64~+63

Decay

This parameter adjusts the time over which the sound’s volume and cutoff frequency fall from the highest point of the attack down to the sustain level.

Parameter Setting

Decay –64~+63

NOTE

Percussive sounds usually have a sustain level of “0”. Piano and guitar sounds are in this category. Holding the keys for a long time will have little effect on the duration of the notes you are playing, even if you select a high value here.

Release

This parameter adjusts the time over which the sound will decay after the note is released until it is no longer heard. The cutoff frequency will also fall according to this setting.

Parameter Setting

Release –64~+63

Vibrato Rate

This parameter adjusts the speed of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings make the preset pitch modulation faster and negative (–) settings make it slower.

Parameter Setting

Vibrato Rate –64~+63

Vibrato Depth

This parameter adjusts the intensity of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings mean that the “wobble” becomes more prominent, while negative (–) settings make it shallower.

Resonance

When the Resonance value is increased, the overtones in the area of the cutoff frequency will be emphasized, creating a sound with a strong character.

Parameter Setting

Vibrato Depth –64~+63

Internal: Song or Style playback uses BK-7m internal tempo. Auto: A good setting for remote control of song or Style playback (using a PK-5A dynamic MIDI pedal board, for example). If the BK-7m receives a MIDI Start message (FA), it waits for Clock messages that specify the tempo. If those Clock messages are not received, the BK-7m starts playback using its internal tempo. If, however, Clock messages (F8) follow after the Start message, the BK-7m uses the external tempo. MIDI: Song or Style playback can be started or stopped with MIDI real-time messages (Start, Stop, Clock) received from an external clock source. Remote: Song or Style playback waits for a start message to start playback at its own tempo. When it receives a stop message, playback stops. External clock messages are ignored.

The MIDI address of a Music Style consists of three elements: a CC00 number, a CC32 number and a program change number. The values assigned to CC00 and CC32 define the Style (see “Music Style list” on p. 88), whereas the program change number defines the Division (Intro, Ending, etc.). See “Style division program change numbers” on p. 90.

Sending only a program change number selects another Division of the currently active Style. Be aware, however, that only sending CC00 and CC32 messages (without a program change) has no effect.

NOTE

When you select another Style on your BK-7m, it transmits a CC00-CC32-PC cluster on the Style channel, which you could record using an external sequencer.

Parameter Setting Explanation

Rx Off, On Switches the recep-

tion of MIDI messages on the Style channel on or off.

These parameters allow you to specify on which MIDI channels the BK-7m should receive chord information used to change the Music Style’s key in real-time (the notes in question are called “Note-to-Arranger”, or “NTA” for short).

Parameter Setting Explanation

Channel Ch1~Ch16 MIDI channel

Rx Off, On This parameters allows

you to specify whether (“On”) or not (“Off”) the selected MIDI channel should be used to receive chord information.

Rx Octave –4~0~ 4 Use this parameter to

transpose the notes received on the selected MIDI channel (“Ch”) in steps of one octave.

Rx Channel 1~16 Use this parameter to

assign a MIDI receive channel to the Style section.

Parameters

The following parameters are located on the display page that can be selected using [MENU] button‰ “MIDI” ‰ “Edit System” ‰ “Parameters”.

This page contains several parameters that are not related to one another (the other MIDI pages always concentrate on one aspect).

Parameter Setting Explanation

Rx Velocity On, 1~127 Allows you to switch

the reception (RX) of velocity messages on or off. If you don’t need “On”, specify which velocity value to use instead of the continuous flux.

Rx Sysex Off, On Use this parameter to

specify whether the BK-7m should receive SysEx messages from other devices.

Tx Sysex Off, On Use this parameter to

specify whether the BK-7m should send SysEx messages.

Tx Data Change Off, On This parameter allows

you to specify how the original program changes of the songs you play back are transmitted via MIDI. The BK-7m may change sound addresses (usually CC00 and CC32 values) so as to play back all songs with the best possible quality. If you switch this parameter on, such real-time transformations are also transmitted via MIDI. If you switch this parameter off, the original sound addresses are transmitted to the receiving device. (But the BK-7m’s tone generator continues to “enhance” the songs you play back.)

Parameter Setting Explanation

Soft Thru Off, Global,

Piano

Select “Global” if the BK-7m should transmit all MIDI messages it receives (using its MIDI OUT socket). Select “Piano” if you wish to connect the BK-7m to a digital piano.

Save MIDI Set

This function allows you to save your changes to a “User” memory for quick recall.

This function can be selected using [MENU] button ‰ “MIDI” ‰ “Save MIDI Set”.

Edit the desired MIDI parameters (“Edit Style Parts”, “Edit Song Parts”, “Edit Tone Parts”, “Edit System”).

Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select the MIDI Set where you want to save your settings (“User1”~ “User8”).

Press [WRITE] button to confirm.

A confirmation message informs you that the MIDI Set has been saved.

Mastering Tools

The BK-7m contains two effects processors that apply to all real time parts and Style and Song parts.

These processors are collectively called the “Mastering Tools”, because they allow you to perfect the signal mix to adapt it to the sound system you are using.

The parameters discussed here can be selected using [MENU] button ‰ “Mastering Tools”.

SMF/Style Compressor

This multi-band compressor/limiter allows you to process three frequency ranges separately. A compressor reduces high levels (peaks) and boosts low levels, smoothing out fluctuations in volume.

settings you need, use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select and set the following parameters:

Parameter Setting Explanation

Level 0~127 Use this parameter to set

the compressor’s input level. The higher the value, the stronger the three frequency bands are compressed. The value you set here is added to the “Level” settings of the three bands. If you set this parameter to “0”, the compressor has no effect on the output signal.

Gain –12~0~

12dB

High/Mid/Low: Because “Attack”, “Release”, “Threshold”, “Ratio” and “Level” are the same for each band, we will only discuss them once. As you see, each of the three frequency ranges has its own set of parameters that allow you to specify their behavior.

Use this parameter to correct the level at the compressor’s outputs. If the settings of the remaining parameters lead to a significantly lower level, select a positive value. If your settings lead to a significantly higher level, select a negative value. “0” means that the level is neither boosted nor attenuated.

Parameter Setting Explanation

Attack 0~100ms Use this parameter to spec-

ify how fast the compressor of the band in question should start processing the signal once the level of that band exceeds the “Threshold” level. Choose a smaller value if you prefer a compression similar to that of FM radio stations. Higher values may yield a “snappier” or “funkier” sound.

Release 50~

5000ms

Threshold –36~0dB This parameter allows you to

Ratio 1:1.0~

1:INF

Level –24~

+24dB

Split High 2000~

12000Hz

Split Low 80~800Hz

This parameter allows you to specify how fast the compressor of the corresponding band should stop working when the signal level drops below the “Threshold” value.

set the level the frequency band (“High”, “Mid” or “Low”) must reach to trigger its compressor. The lower the value, the more noticeable the compression will be.

Use this parameter to specify how strongly the level should be reduced when the band’s level exceeds the “Threshold” level. “1:2.0”, for example, means that level values above the “Threshold” level are halved. “1:INF” is useful if you set “Threshold” to “0dB” or thereabout. This produces a limiter effect, which means that no signal level will ever exceed the “Threshold” value. This may help you protect the speakers of the PA system etc.

This parameter allows you to establish the desired mix among the three compressor bands. Choose a negative value to decrease the level, or a positive one to increase it. Choose “0” for a band whose level is OK as is.

These two parameters specify the frequency where two bands are separated. The compressor has three bands, and so there are two crossover frequencies you can set: “High” between the “Mid” and “High” ranges; and “Low” between the “Mid” and “Low” ranges.

NOTE

If you select a Drum Set in step (1) above, the parameter list looks slightly different than for instruments that do not use a Drum Set. “Drum Sets” are special “Tones” that assign different sounds to most keys/note numbers, allowing you (and the BK-7m) to play realistic drum and percussion parts.

In the following, “(T)” refers to parameters that are only available for regular instruments (also called “Tones”), while “(D)” refers to parameters that are only available for Drum Sets.

The following parameters are available:

Families (T)

Allows you to select a different Tone family. See page 91 for a list of available Tones and Drum Sets.

After selecting a new family, you can press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial and then rotate it to select a Tone from that family

Parameter Explanation

Families The BK-7m’s Tones are grouped into 15

families: piano, guitar, bass, strings, etc.

Perc Mute (D)

Suppresses (or adds) the percussion sounds used by the drum part.

Parameter Value

Perc Mute Off, On

Volume

Adjusts the volume of the selected instrument. Negative values decrease the current volume, positive values increase it. (This is a relative setting that is added to, or subtracted from, the original setting.)

Parameter Setting

Volume -127~0~+127

Reverb

Use this parameter to set the reverb send level. Negative values decrease the current reverb send level, positive values increase it. (This is a relative setting that is added to, or subtracted from, the original setting.)

Parameter Setting

Reverb -127~0~+127

Tone (T), Drum (D)

Allows you to select a different Tone within the active Tone family. See page 91 for a list of available Tones and Drum Sets.

While selecting a Tone, you can press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial and then rotate it to select a different family.

Parameter Explanation

Tone (T) Drum (D)

The number of Tones depends on the selected family.

Mute (T)/Drum Mute (D)

Switches the selected instrument off. The corresponding part is no longer played back. (This setting only applies to the selected instrument and thus not necessarily to the entire track.)

NOTE

In the case of the drums, you can mute two instrument groups (“Drum Mute” and “Perc Mute”, see below) separately.

Parameter Setting

Mute (T) Drum Mute (D)

Off, On

Solo

Switches off all instruments except the selected instrument.

Parameter Setting

Solo Off, On

Chorus

Use this parameter to set the chorus send level. Negative values decrease the current chorus send level, positive values increase it. (This is a relative setting that is added to, or subtracted from, the original setting.)

Parameter Setting

Chorus -127~0~+127

Panpot

Use this parameter to change the stereo placement of the selected instrument. “0” means “no change”, negative (–) values shift the instrument towards the left and positive (+) values shift it towards the right.

Parameter Setting

Panpot -127~0~+127

NOTE

In the case of Drum Sets, this setting applies to all drum/ percussion instruments. There is also a parameter that can be set for specific drum instruments. See page 80.

Octave (T)

Use this parameter to transpose the selected instrument up or down by up to 4 octaves.

Parameter Setting

Octave -4~0~+4

Velocity

This parameter allows you to modify the velocity range of the instrument in question. “0” means that the recorded velocity values are left untouched, neg-

ative values reduce all velocity values by the same amount (leaving differences between notes intact), while positive settings increase all velocity values.

Parameter Setting

Velocity -127~+127

Cut Off

This filter parameter allows you to make the selected sound darker or brighter. Positive settings mean that more overtones are allowed to pass, so that the sound becomes brighter. The further this value is set in the negative direction, the fewer overtones will be allowed to pass and the sound will become softer (darker).

Parameter Setting

Cut Off -127~+127

Cutoff frequency

Decay (T)

This parameter adjusts the time over which the sound’s volume and cutoff frequency fall from the highest point of the attack down to the sustain level.

Parameter Setting

Decay -127~+127

NOTE

Release (T)

This parameter adjusts the time over which the sound will decay after the note is released until it is no longer heard. The cutoff frequency will also fall according to this setting.

Parameter Setting

Release -127~+127

NOTE

Some sounds already contain natural (sampled) vibrato whose depth or speed cannot be changed.

NOTE

For some sounds, positive (+) “Cut Off” settings will cause no noticeable change because the preprogrammed “Cut Off” parameter is already set to its maximum value.

Resonance

This is a parameter one invariably associates with a synthesizer. When the “Resonance” value is increased, the overtones in the area of the cutoff frequency will be emphasized, creating a sound with a strong character.

Parameter Setting

Resonance -127~+127

NOTE

For some sounds, negative (–) “Resonance” settings may produce no noticeable change because the resonance is already set to the minimum value.

The following parameters allow you to set the sound’s “envelope”. The envelope parameters affect both the volume (TVA) and the filter (TVF). The cutoff frequency will rise as the envelope rises and fall as the envelope falls.

Attack (T)

This parameter adjusts the onset of the sound. Negative values speed up the attack, so that the sound becomes more aggressive.

Parameter Setting

Use the following three parameters if you think the instrument in question has too much (or could use a little more) vibrato.

Vibrato Rate (T)

This parameter adjusts the speed of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings make the preset pitch modulation faster, and negative (–) settings make it slower.

Parameter Setting

Vibrato Rate -127~+127

Vibrato Depth (T)

This parameter adjusts the intensity of the pitch modulation. Positive (+) settings mean that the “wobble” becomes more prominent, while negative (–) settings make it shallower.

Parameter Setting

Vibrato Depth -127~+127

Vibrato Delay (T)

This parameter adjusts the time required for the vibrato effect to begin. Positive (+) settings increase the time before vibrato will begin and negative settings (–) shorten the time.

Parameter Setting

Vibrato Delay -127~+127

Attack -127~+127

NOTE

Freeze Data

To commit your settings, use [MENU] button ‰ “Makeup Tools” ‰ “Freeze Data”.

Before saving your “made-up” song to a USB memory, you can (but you don’t have to) “commit” your changes, thereby turning them into “regular” Music Style or song data.

This may come in handy if you also want to play back your new Music Style song version on another arranger instrument, sequencer or your computer. This operation is unnecessary for files you only want to use with the BK-7m or one of the models mentioned above.

Saving your new Music Style or song (SMF) version

If you are happy with your changes and wish to preserve them, select the “Save” parameter.

The display changes to:

Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select the desired character.

Press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to confirm your selection (the cursor changes to an underscore).

Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] to select the character position you want to change, then press the dial.

Repeat steps (4)~(6) to complete the name.

Press the [WRITE] button to confirm your desire to save the song.

The display briefly confirms the operation and then returns to the “Style Makeup Tools” or “Song Makeup Tools” page.

The display shows the location of the file you loaded and subsequently edited.

NOTE

Even Music Styles or songs for which you did not perform the “Freeze Data” command need to be saved using this procedure if you want to keep the changes.

Use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select a different location if you do not want to overwrite the original version.

Press the [WRITE] button (it flashes).

PERFORMANCE

WRITE

If the USB memory already contains a Music Style or song file of that name, you will be asked whether you want to overwrite it:

In this case, select “YES” using the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to replace the old file with the new one (the old file will be lost).

Otherwise, select “NO” to return to the “Save” page and enter a different name.

V-LINK function

The BK-7m has a powerful new interface for realtime audio-and-video integration. V-LINK ( ) is a function that allows music and images to be performed together. When V-Link compatible devices are connected via MIDI, you’ll be able to easily enjoy a variety of visual effects that are linked to the expressive elements of your performance.

For example, if you use the BK-7m with the EDIROL P-10, you’ll be able to use the various controls on the BK-7m’s front panel to switch and control images on the EDIROL P-10.

In order to enjoy V-LINK with the BK-7m and the EDIROL P-10, you’ll need to make connections using a MIDI cable (sold separately).

Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select the “V-Link” entry, then press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial.

Use the following controls on the front panel to control the Edirol P-10.

Using the BK-7m with SONAR LE

16. Using the BK-7m with SONAR LE

The BK-7m comes bundled with the Cakewalk SONAR LE software that runs on Windows computers. Installing this powerful software allows you to use the BK-7m as a versatile multitimbral sound module, adding top-notch sounds to your PC-based music productions. You can create your own SMF music databases with SONAR LE, using the BK-7m as sound module by connecting it to one of your computer’s USB ports. Once the SMF files are ready, you can play the back directly on the BK-7m (without using SONAR LE).

Troubleshooting

Power does not turn on. Is the included AC adaptor/power cord correctly connected to an

AC outlet and to the BK-7m? Do not use any AC adaptor or power cord other than the ones included. Doing so will cause malfunctions.

console? And did you switch it on?

Could the [VOLUME] knob be turned down? Select a higher setting.

Are the MIDI and audio connections correct? Please check the audio and MIDI connection

Can you hear sound through headphones? If you can hear sound through headphones, it may be that the connection cables are broken, or that your amp or speaker has malfunctioned. Check the cables and your equipment once again.

Perhaps, the external MIDI controller transmits on a different MIDI channel than the one the BK-7m expects. Start the wizard.

Could the part volume settings have been minimized? Check the “Volume” setting of each part.

Could a MIDI message received from an external MIDI device (volume message or exclusive message) have lowered the volume?

The volume level of the instrument is too low when it is connected to an amplifier.

Recalling a Performance memory from the loaded Performance List via MIDI

The following bank select and program change messages allow you to select the desired Performance memory from the loaded Performance List. These MIDI messages must be received on the BK-7m’s Basic channel.

Basic structure

CC00 122 (Fixed value)

CC32 0~7 (Page value)

PC 1~128 (Value)

Here is how to calculate which values to assign to the CC00, CC32 and PC messages:

CC00 122 (Fixed)

CC32 (Performance memory

number – 1) / 128

PC Performance memory num-

ber – (CC32 x 128)

For example, to recall Performance memory number 280, you will need to transmit:

CC00 122

CC32 (280 – 1) / 128 = 2

PC 280 – (2 x 128) = 24

Note: Be aware that the BK-7m transmits its Performance memory addresses based on the system shown above.
