Style
The following parameters are located on the display
page that can be selected using [MENU] button‰
“MIDI” ‰ “Edit System” ‰ “Style”.
The Style channel is used for receiving program
change and bank select messages that select Styles
and volume messages that change the Style’s vol-
ume.
The MIDI address of a Music Style consists of three
elements: a CC00 number, a CC32 number and a pro-
gram change number. The values assigned to CC00
and CC32 define the Style (see “Music Style list” on
p. 88), whereas the program change number defines
the Division (Intro, Ending, etc.). See “Style division
program change numbers” on p. 90.
Sending only a program change number selects
another Division of the currently active Style. Be
aware, however, that only sending CC00 and CC32
messages (without a program change) has no effect.
NOTE
When you select another Style on your BK-7m, it transmits
a CC00-CC32-PC cluster on the Style channel, which you
could record using an external sequencer.

page that can be selected using [MENU] button‰
