Connecting the BK-7m to your
computer
If you use a USB cable (commercially available) to con-
nect the COMPUTER port located on the BK-7m’s rear
panel to the USB port of your computer, you’ll be able to
do the following things.
•Use the BK-7m as a sound module.
By transferring MIDI data between the BK-7m and
your sequencer software, you’ll be able to enjoy a
wide range of possibilities for music production and
editing.
1.
Use a standard USB cable (A‰B-type con-
nectors, commercially available) to connect
the BK-7m to your computer as shown
below.
2.
Refer to the Roland website for system
requirements.
Roland website: http://www.roland.com/
As an alternative, you can connect the BK-7m’s MIDI
OUT and MIDI IN sockets to a MIDI interface and con-
nect the latter to your computer.
If the computer doesn’t ‘see’ the BK-7m
Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to
connect the BK-7m to your computer. However, if some
problem occurs, or if the performance is poor, using the
Roland original driver may solve the problem.
For details on downloading and installing the Roland
original driver, refer to the Roland website:
http://www.roland.com/
Specify the USB driver you want to use, and then install
the driver. For details, refer to “USB Driver” on p. 64.
Caution
•To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage to
external speakers, always turn the volume all the way
down and switch off the power on all devices before
you make any connections.
Only MIDI data can be transmitted and received via
USB. Audio data for a song recorded on the BK-7m
cannot be transmitted or received.
Switch on the power to the BK-7m before you start
up the MIDI application on your computer. Never
turn the BK-7m’s power on/off while your MIDI
application is running.
Connecting a television set
NOTE
Before you make connections to other devices, you must
turn down the volume of all devices and turn off their
power to prevent malfunctions or damage to your speak-
ers.
1.
Switch off the BK-7m and the television set
you’ll be connecting.
2.
Connect the BK-7m to your television set.
Use a video cable (commercially available) to connect
the BK-7m’s VIDEO OUTPUT jack to the television set.
3.

4.
Switch on your television set.
5.
(As necessary) Specify the television output

set.
The aspect ratio is the proportional relationship

tion it should perform (page 64). By default, the foot-
