The following parameters are available:

Press the [EXIT] button to leave the “Eq Part

Edit” page.

Mfx

The BK-5 contains one multi-effects processor

(“Mfx”) that can be used to process the desired key-

board part(s). Select “Off” for parts that don’t need to

be processed by this Mfx.

Expression Pedal

Select “Off” if you don’t need pedal expression for the

selected part. This means that the keyboard part in

question no longer responds to an expression pedal

you may have connected to the SWITCH/EXPRESSION

socket.

Pedal Exp Down/Up

The expression pedal allows you to control the vol-

ume of all parts by foot.

“Up” and “Down” refer to the volume that is used

when the expression pedal is pressed (“Up”, highest

volume) or in the upright position (“Down”, lowest

volume).

You do not need to specify “0” for the “Down” posi-

tion. Selecting any other values will reduce the vol-

ume of the selected part up to the “Down” value.

Likewise, you do not need to specify “127” as maxi-

mum value for “Up”.

NOTE

The expression pedal sends MIDI Expression commands

(CC11).

It is perfectly possible to set the “Down” value to

“127” and the “Up” value to “0”, so that the selected

part only sounds when the expression pedal is in the

upright position. This can be used for some clever

effects: instead of alternating between the Upper1

and Upper2 parts by varying your velocity (which

requires a considerable amount of “striking preci-

sion”, see “Min Value” and “Max Value” on p. 63), you

could invert UP2’s response to the expression pedal,

so that UP1 doesn’t sound when UP2 does, and vice

versa.

Hold Pedal

This parameter allows you to specify whether and

how a hold/damper pedal you connect to the PEDAL

HOLD socket should respond to Hold messages

(CC64).

“Auto” means that the part in question only responds

to Hold messages if it is assigned to the right half

(Split) or the entire keyboard.

“On” means that the part in question always responds

to Hold messages, even if it is assigned to the left half

of the keyboard.

“Off”, finally, means that the part does not respond to

Hold messages.

Parameter Setting range Explanation

Switch Off, On This parameter allows

you to switch the

equalizer on and off.

High Freq 1500Hz, 2000Hz,

3000Hz, 4000Hz,

6000Hz, 8000Hz,

12000Hz

Allows you to set the

cutoff frequency of

the high band (this is

a shelving filter).

High Gain –15~+15dB Use this parameter to

set the level of the

selected “High” fre-

quency. Positive val-

ues boost (increase

the volume of) that

frequency band, neg-

ative values cut

(attenuate) it.

Mid Freq 200~8000Hz Allows you to set the

cutoff frequency of

the middle band (this

is a peaking filter).

Mid Gain –15~+15dB Use this parameter to

set the level of the

selected “Mid” fre-

quency.

Mid Q 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0,

8.0

Use this parameter to

specify the width of

the “Mid Frequency”

band that you want to

boost or cut. Smaller

values mean that

neighboring frequen-

cies above/below that

value are also

affected.

Low Freq 90, 150, 180, 300,

360, 600Hz

Allows you to set the

cutoff frequency of

the low band (this is a

shelving filter).

Low Gain –15~+15dB Use this parameter to

set the level of the

selected “Low” fre-

quency.
