MIDI parameters
Backing Keyboard BK-5

If you don’t select “On”, specify which velocity value
to use instead of the continuous flux. The value you
set will be used for all notes sent to MIDI OUT/USB
COMPUTER.
Tx SysEx
Use this parameter to specify whether (“On”) or not
(“Off”) the BK-5 should send SysEx messages. Such
messages are not standardized, so that each manu-
facturer can use them ad lib for temporary (or per-
manent) changes to the way a part behaves. Effects
parameters, for instance, can only be changed via
SysEx messages.
Such messages may slow down playback on external
MIDI instruments or yield no effect at all, which is
why you have the option to switch off their trans-
mission in the first place.
Tx Data Change
This parameter allows you to specify how the original
program changes of the songs you play back are
transmitted via MIDI. The BK-5 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 trans-
formations are also transmitted via MIDI. If you
switch this parameter off, the original sound
addresses are transmitted to the receiving device.
(But the BK-5’s tone generator continues to
“enhance” the songs you play back.)
Octave Tx
The “Octave Tx” parameter can be set to Absolute or
Relative. You may have noticed that if you assign a
bass sound to the UP1 or UP2 part in SPLIT mode, the
notes are transposed to allow you to play meaningful
bass lines using the UP1/2 part. “Relative” means that
this internal (and automatic) transposition is trans-
lated into MIDI note numbers.
In “Absolute” mode, however, the MIDI note numbers
sent to other instruments will be the ones of the keys
you actually press.
Rx Velocity
Your BK-5 is equipped with a velocity-sensitive key-
board and a tone generator capable of responding to
velocity messages. This parameter 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. This value
will be used for all notes received via MIDI..
Rx SySex
Use this parameter to specify whether the BK-5
should receive SysEx messages from other devices.
Rx Transpose
Use this parameter to specify whether or not the
BK-5 should transpose the MIDI note messages it
receives.
Soft Thru
Select “On” if the BK-5 should transmit all MIDI mes-
sages it receives (using its MIDI OUT socket).
Visual Control TxCh
This parameter allows you to set the MIDI transmit
channel for the Visual Control function. (The BK-5
does not receive Visual Control messages.) By default,
this channel is set to 16.
Save MIDI Set
This function allows you to save your changes to a
“User” memory for quick recall.
This function can be selected using the [WRITE] button
while the “MIDI” page is displayed.
1.
Edit the desired MIDI parameters (“Edit
Rhythm Parts”, “Edit Song Parts”, “Edit Tone
Parts”, “Edit System”).
2.
Press the [WRITE] button.
