Details about the ‘Wizard Connection’ categories

Backing Module BK-7m

Press the [EXIT] button if you prefer not to save these

settings. In that case, the BK-7m goes on using the

last configuration you selected.

The settings of the last MIDI Set you saved will be

loaded each time you switch on the BK-7m. There is

thus no need to use the “Wizard Connection” func-

tion as long as you don’t change your MIDI setup.

NOTE

In addition to the parameters that can be saved to the

“User1” MIDI Set, the “Wizard Connection” also saves other

settings. See page 87 for details.

Details about the ‘Wizard

Connection’ categories

Depending on the category and option inside that cate-

gory, the BK-7m may ask you to play a few notes on the

external instrument. This allows it to automatically set

the correct MIDI channels and to make several other

useful settings.

See also “‘Wizard Connection’ MIDI channel settings” on

p. 26 for an overview of the other settings performed by

the “Wizard Connection” function.

‘DIGITAL PIANO’ category

Select “ROLAND” for a digital piano made by Roland

that transmits on MIDI channel 1 by default.

•The only step will be “Wizard Settings will be

saved” (see step (7) above).

Select “OTHERS” if your digital piano transmits on a dif-

ferent MIDI channel. Here, there are two steps:

•“Play a note on piano keyboard” ‰ Press any key

on your digital piano.

•“Wizard Settings will be saved” (see step (7) above).

NOTE

If necessary, set the digital piano’s MIDI transmit and

receive channels to the same number.

•The digital piano can be used to play the BK-7m’s

real-time parts and to control the Arranger.

• Changing the status of the [SPLIT] button allows you

to alternate between two chord recognition modes:

“Pianist” ([SPLIT] button dark) and “Intelligent”

([SPLIT] button lights). See “Using Split mode” on

p. 39 for details.

• See page 27 for how to switch the real-time parts on

and off.

About ‘Soft Thru: Piano’

The “DIGITAL PIANO” settings automatically select the

“Soft Thru: Piano” setting, which means that the

BK-7m transmits a “Local Off” message to the piano

when you switch it on. This only works if the follow-

ing conditions are met:

•the BK-7m’s MIDI OUT socket is connected to the

digital piano’s MIDI IN socket.

•the digital piano is already on when you switch on

the BK-7m.

In “Soft Thru: Piano” mode, the BK-7m transmits the

note messages received via MIDI IN back to its MIDI

OUT socket. Those messages are then used to trigger

the digital piano’s tone generator. The piano’s “Local

Off” setting indeed means that its keyboard is no

longer connected to its internal tone generator.

This connection is necessary to ensure that the digital

piano’s tone generator does not receive the chords

you play in the left half (while the [SPLIT] button

lights), because the chord notes are usually only used

to specify the arranger’s key.

NOTE

The digital piano’s “Local” parameter is not reset when you

disconnect the MIDI cables. You may have to do this manu-

ally (see the digital piano’s owner’s manual). In most

instances, however, switching the piano off and back on

will reset the piano’s “Local” parameter to “On”.

‘ACCORDION’ category

Select “V-ACCORDION” if you want to control the

BK-7m from a Roland FR-series instrument. Its treble,

orchestral, bass & chord, and (if available) Free Bass sec-

tions will trigger the UP1, UP2, LWR and MBS parts

respectively. The chords you play with the chord buttons

(left hand) are used to “feed” the BK-7m’s Arranger.

•The only step will be “Wizard Settings will be

saved” (see step (7) on page 22).

NOTE

The BK-7m’s wizard assumes that the FR-series accordion

uses the default MIDI channel numbers.

MIDI OUT

What you play on the

keyboard is transmitted

to the BK-7m. The

piano’s tone generator

does not receive these

messages.

Soft Thru: Piano

The keyboard’s messages are

returned to the piano.
