2.
Press the [NUMERIC] button to open the
following window:
The TONE buttons light.
3.
Press the TONE buttons that correspond to
the figures you want to enter ([0]~[9]).
For Tones, you can enter up to 4 digits. To select Tone
6, for instance, simply pressing the [6] button is
enough (the display will show “0006”).
NOTE
If you make a mistake, the quickest way to correct it is by
pressing the [0] button four times (to enter “0000”) and
then restarting.
For Rhythms and Performance memories, up to 3
digits can be entered.
NOTE
If you try to enter more digits than possible for the current
item, a warning is displayed (“Tone doesn’t exist”).
4.
Press the [ENTER/SELECT] button to confirm
your entry.
The “Numeric” pop-up disappears and the display
jumps to the Tone (and family) you selected.
5.
Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main
page.
Checking a Tone’s or rhythm’s MIDI address
Tones and rhythms can also be selected via MIDI. To this
effect, they use an “internal” address, which is not usu-
ally displayed. For MIDI applications involving sequenc-
ers or external controllers, knowing the “official” address
may come in handy. The BK-5 has a handy system that
provides this information instantly—there is thus no
need to look up the MIDI address in the tables at the end
of this manual.
1.
Select the Tone or Rhythm whose MIDI
address you need to know.
2.
Press and hold the [NUMERIC] button to call
up a pop-up window.
3.
Press the [EXIT] button (or press [NUMERIC]
again) to return to the previous page.
Using the ‘Help’ function
Whenever the display shows a “? hold NUMERIC” mes-
sage, the BK-5 can provide some explanations about the
parameters currently shown in the display. To view this
information, proceed as follows:
1.
Select a page where the above field is dis-
played, then press and hold the [NUMERIC]
button.
A pop-up window similar to the following appears:
2.
Press the [EXIT] button (or press [NUMERIC]
again) to close the “Help” window.
