Chorus Type: Chorus broadens the spatial image of
the sound and creates a stereo impression. You can
choose from 8 types of chorus.
Reverb Level & Chorus Level: These parameters
allow you to modify the output level of the Reverb
(or Chorus) processor.
Rhythm Volume/Song Volume: This parameter
allows you to set the overall volume of the selected
rhythm or song if you think it is too loud/soft.
Rhythm Tempo/Song Tempo: Allows you to change
the rhythm’s or song’s tempo (q= 20~250).
Key: This parameter allows you to transpose all song
parts (except the drums) up to 12 semitones (1
octave) up or down. This value is written to the song
data and used every time you play back this song.
NOTE
This parameter is not available for rhythms.
Undo Changes: Select this entry to cancel all
“Rhythm/SMF Makeup Tools” settings you have made
and to revert to the previously saved version.
2.
If you are satisfied with your changes and
wish to preserve them, save your rhythm/
song to the USB memory.
See “Saving your new rhythm or song (SMF) version”
on p. 80.
NOTE
The changes you make using the procedure described
above can be “burned” into the rhythm/song file using the
“Freeze Data” command (see p. 79). Doing so will allow you
to hear those changes on any sequencer (software) you
use. Changes you don’t “freeze” are nevertheless stored
when you save the edited rhythm/song file—but only the
BK-5 can read them.

Hall1,
Hall2
These types simulate the reverb of a small (1)
or large (2) concert hall and thus sound much
“bigger” than the Room types above.
Plate This algorithm simulates the acoustics of a
concert hall.
Delay A delay effect (no reverb). Works a lot like an
echo effect and thus repeats the sounds.
Pan Delay This is a stereo version of the above delay
effect. It creates repetitions that alternate
between the left and right channels.
Setting Meaning
Original The song uses its own (programmed)
chorus settings.
Chorus

These are conventional chorus effects
that add spaciousness and depth to the
sound.
Fbk Chorus This is a chorus with a flanger-like effect
and a soft sound.
Flanger This is an effect that sounds somewhat
like a jet airplane taking off and landing.
ShortDly This is a full-fledged delay effect that
can be used instead of a chorus or
flanger. As you will see, there are a lot of
parameters you can program.
ShortDlyFb This is a short delay with many repeats.
