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.
Freeze Data
To commit your settings, use [MENU] button ‰ “Makeup
Tools” ‰ “Freeze Data”.
Before saving your “made-up” song to a USB memory,
you can (but you don’t have to) “commit” your changes,
thereby turning them into “regular” rhythm or song
data.
This may come in handy if you also want to play back
your new rhythm/song version on another arranger
instrument, sequencer or your computer. This operation
is unnecessary for files you only want to use with the
BK-5 or one of the models mentioned above.
Solo Off, On Switch off all instru-
ments except the
selected instrument.
Volume -127~+127 Use this parameter to
set the volume of the
selected drum instru-
ment.
Reverb -127~+127 Use this parameter to
set the reverb send
level of the selected
drum instrument. The
effect itself can be
changed on the “Com-
mon” page.
Chorus -127~+127 Use this parameter to
set the chorus send
level of the selected
drum instrument. The
effect itself can be
changed on the “Com-
mon” page.
Panpot -127~+127 Use this parameter to
set the stereo place-
ment of the selected
drum instrument. “0”
means “no change”,
negative values shift
the instrument
towards the left and
positive values shift it
towards the right.
Velocity -127~+127 This parameter allows
you to modify the
velocity range of the
drum instrument in
question. “0” means
that the recorded val-
ues are left untouched,
a negative setting
reduces all velocity
values by the same
amount (leaving varia-
tions intact). A posi-
tive setting shifts all
velocity values in a
positive direction.
Pitch -127~+127 Use this parameter to
tune the selected drum
instrument higher or
lower. “0” means that
the pitch is left
unchanged.
