Recording a rhythm pattern
1.
Press the [START/STOP] button.
Depending on the count-in setting, the metronome
now counts down, after which recording starts.
NOTE
If you need a metronome during your performance, press
the [TAP TEMPO] button while the main Rhythm Composer
page is displayed. If you also need the metronome while
listening to what you have recorded, select another metro-
nome mode (see “Mode” on p. 73).
NOTE
You can also start recording using an optional footswitch
connected to the SWITCH/EXPRESSION socket. See “Start/
Stop” on p. 75.
You could start by playing only the bass drum part. If
you specified the track length before recording, the
Rhythm Composer jumps back to the beginning of
the pattern after the set number of measures. The
second time around you could add the snare drum,
the third time the HiHat, and so on.
When recording another part (ABass~Acc6), do
everything you would do during a live performance:
add modulation, Pitch Bend and to use an optional
hold pedal connected to the HOLD PEDAL jack.
2.
Press [START/STOP] again to stop recording.
Auditioning your rhythm and adding more tracks
(1) Press the [START/STOP] button to listen to your
track.
The main Rhythm Composer page contains two
parameters that allow you to select the pattern you
want to audition. Here’s how to select it:
2.
Use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select the
“MODE” parameter, then press the [ENTER/
SELECT] button.
3.
Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select
“Major”, “Minor” or “7th”.
Only one mode can be selected for playback.
4.
Use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial and [ENTER/
SELECT] button to select the “DIVISION”
field.
5.
Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select
one of the Divisions (Intro 1~4, Main 1~4,
Fill Dwn 1~3, Fill Up 1~3, End 1~4).
Only one Division can be selected for playback.
If you like your drum part, continue with “Saving
your rhythm”. If not, record a new version (see “Get-
ting ready for the first track” on p. 88). In that case,
set the “Rec Mode” parameter according to what you
want to do: “Replace”= replace the previous record-
ing with new data; “Mix”= add notes you forgot to
record the first time (see p. 90).
Saving your rhythm
Make it a habit to save your rhythms as frequently as
possible. After all, if someone decided to switch off your
BK-5 now, you would lose everything you have pro-
grammed so far.
1.
Go to the main Rhythm Composer page and
press the [MENU] button (its indicator
flashes).
