Two new chord recognition types were added: Pianist2
and Accordion3. Please replace this section on page 60
in the owner’s manual with the following:
Type
This parameter allows you to specify how the chords
received by the NTA parts are interpreted.
NOTE
If the “Arr Type” parameter (page 63) is set to “On”, this
“Type” setting has no effect.
Standard:
This is the normal chord recognition
mode.
Pianist1:
In this mode, the BK-7m only recognizes
chords that consist of at least three notes. Playing
only two notes on the external keyboard will not
cause the Music Style’s key to change.
Pianist2:
Same as “Pianist1” while the Hold pedal on
the external keyboard is not pressed. If you press that
Hold pedal, the BK-7m even recognizes “chords”
when you play only one note on the external key-
board. If the Hold pedal on external keyboard is still
pressed, chord recognition continues up to a maxi-
mum of 5 played keys.
Accordionist1:
Select this setting if you are using an
FR-x-series or MIDI-compatible accordion to control
the BK-7m’s Arranger.
Accordionist2:
Select this setting if you are using a
MIDI-compatible accordion that transmits its chord
information within a single octave and “dim” chords
without the root note.
Accordionist3:
Select this setting if the fifth of the
7th chords transmitted by the external accordion
should be ignored by the BK-7m.
Guitarist:
Select this setting if you are using a MIDI
guitar to control the BK-7m’s Arranger.
Intelligent:
Select “Intelligent” when you want the
chord recognition to supply the missing notes of the
chords you play.
Easy:
This is another “intelligent” chord fingering sys-
tem. It works as follows:
‰[MENU] button ‰ “Performance Edit” ‰ “Arranger
Settings”.
Please add the following sections on page 60 in the
owner’s manual:
Fill Ritardando
The Fill Ritardando function is suitable for ballads. It
causes the next Fill-In to slow down (“ritardando”).
See “TempoCh Fill Rit” below for how to set how
strongly the tempo should be decreased.
As the name implies, it is only available while the
[AUTO FILL IN] button lights.
(a) Set “Fill Ritardando” to “On”.
(b) Start Arranger playback.
(c) Press a VARIATION [1]~[4] button.
The BK-7m plays a Fill-In. The tempo slows down
while the fill is being played. At the end of the fill, the
rhythm returns to the previously set tempo (this is
called “a tempo”).
(d) Press and hold the [EXIT] button to return to the
main page.
