Backing Keyboard BK-5
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-5) to play realistic drum and percussion parts.
The following parameters are available:
Tone (T), Drum (D)
Allows you to select a different Tone within the
active Tone family. See page 129 for a list of available
Tones and Drum Sets.
While selecting a Tone, you can press a TONE button
to select a different family.
Mute (T)/Drum Mute (D)
Switches the selected instrument off. The corre-
sponding 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) sepa-
rately.
Solo
Switches off all instruments except the selected
instrument.
Perc Mute (D)
Suppresses (or adds) the percussion sounds used by
the drum part.
Volume
Adjusts the volume of the selected instrument. Nega-
tive values decrease the current volume, positive val-
ues increase it. (This is a relative setting that is added
to, or subtracted from, the original setting.)
Reverb
Use this parameter to set the reverb send level. Nega-
tive 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 set-
ting.)
Chorus
Use this parameter to set the chorus send level. Neg-
ative 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 set-
ting.)
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.
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 85.
Octave (T)
Use this parameter to transpose the selected instru-
ment up or down by up to 4 octaves.
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.
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 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.
