11. Performance Lists
Performance/Music Assistant/
Factory Songs info
The “Performance List” is a list of up to 999 Performance
memories. Each Performance memory contains a refer-
ence to the desired rhythm or song and all settings you
want to load along with that rhythm or song (see “‘Per-
formance Edit’ parameters” on p. 56), including settings
like INTRO/ENDING status, selected VARIATION, etc.
The Performance memories you create are saved to the
selected “Performance List”. This allows you to prepare
one set of Performance memories for weddings, another
for corporate events, a third for anniversaries, etc. Per-
formance Lists always reside on a USB memory.
It is perfectly possible to program several Performance
memories for one song. Selecting a Performance mem-
ory is a lot faster than calling up one of the BK-5’s func-
tions, modifying the settings, etc., while playing. You
could program one Performance memory for the first
part of a song, another for the bridge and a third one for
the closing section. Doing so allows you to “play” with
the effect settings of the various processors, for exam-
ple.
NOTE
The BK-5 is supplied with one Performance List called “Music
Assistant” and a second called “Factory Songs” that contains 5
SMF files. These lists cannot be deleted or edited.
Loading a Performance/‘Music
Assistant’/‘Factory Songs’ List
1.
Switch on the BK-5.
See page 20.
2.
Connect an optional USB memory to the
BK-5.
This step is unnecessary if you want to use the “Music
Assistant” or “Factory Songs” list, because these lists
reside in the BK-5’s internal memory.
3.
Press the PERFORMANCE [LIST] button.
The display now shows all Performance Lists it found
on the USB memory. (The internal “Music Assistant”
and “Factory Songs” lists are always displayed in the
top line.)
NOTE
If you already loaded a Performance List, the display imme-
diately displays the Performance memories it contains. To
load a different Performance List from the USB memory,
press the PERFORMANCE [LIST] button again and proceed
with step (4) below.
The “LIST” icon at the bottom means that you can
press the [LIST] button to alternate between the list
of Performance List files (see the illustration above)
and the contents of the currently selected list (see
the illustration below).
NOTE
If the USB memory contains no Performance List files, or if
the memory is not connected (properly), the BK-5 only dis-
plays the “Music Assistant” and “Factory Songs” list.
4.
Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select
the Performance List you want to use.
5.
Press the [ENTER/SELECT] button to confirm
your selection.
(In our example, we selected the “Music Assistant”
list.) The display changes to:
