option to switch o their transmission in the rst place.
Parameter Setting
Tx SysEx O, On
Tx Data Change
This parameter allows you to specify how the original program
changes of the songs you play back are transmitted via MIDI. The
BK-9 may change sound addresses (usually CC00 and CC32 values)
so as to play back all songs with the best possible quality. If you
switch this parameter on, such real-time transformations are also
transmitted via MIDI. If you switch this parameter o, the original
sound addresses are transmitted to the receiving device. (But the
BK-9’s tone generator continues to “enhance” the songs you play
back.)
Parameter Setting
Tx Data Change O, On
Tx Octave
The “Tx Octave” parameter can be set to Absolute or Relative. You
may have noticed that if you assign a bass sound to the UPPER1
or UPPER2 part in SPLIT mode, the notes are transposed to allow
you to play meaningful bass lines using the UPPER1/UPPER2 part.
“Relative” means that this internal (and automatic) transposition is
translated into MIDI note numbers.
In “Absolute” mode, however, the MIDI note numbers sent to other
instruments will be the ones of the keys you actually press.
Parameter Setting
Tx Octave Relative, Absolute
Rx Velocity
Your BK-9 is equipped with a velocity-sensitive keyboard and a
tone generator capable of responding to velocity messages. This
parameter allows you to switch the reception (RX) of velocity
messages on or o. If you don’t need “On”, specify which velocity
value to use instead of the continuous ux. This value will be used
for all notes received via MIDI..
Parameter Setting
Rx Velocity On, 1~127
Rx SySex
Use this parameter to specify whether the BK-9 should receive
SysEx messages from other devices.
Parameter Setting
Rx SySex O, On
Rx Transpose
Use this parameter to specify whether or not the BK-9 should
transpose the MIDI note messages it receives.
Parameter Setting
Rx Transpose O, On
Rx Common Exp.
This parameter allows you to specify that Expression messages
received on the channel you select here (1~16) should aect all of
the BK-9’s parts (except for the song parts). Select “O” if
Expression messages should only aect the part that receives on
the MIDI channel used by the Expression messages.
Parameter Setting
Rx Common Exp. O, 1~16
Soft Thru
Select “On” if the BK-9 should transmit all MIDI messages it receives
(using its MIDI OUT socket).
Parameter Setting
Soft Thru O, On
Visual Control TxCh
This parameter allows you to set the MIDI transmit channel for the
Visual Control function. (The BK-9 does not receive Visual Control
messages.) By default, this channel is set to 16.
Parameter Setting
Visual Control TxCh 1~16
Save MIDI Set
This function allows you to save your changes to a “User” memory
for quick recall.
This function can be selected using the [WRITE] button while the
“MIDI” page is displayed.
Right Display
1. Edit the desired MIDI parameters (“Edit Rhythm Parts”,
“Edit Song Parts”, “Edit Tone Parts”, “Edit System”).
2. Press the [WRITE] button.
The display changes to:

3. Rotate the dial to select the MIDI Set where you want to
save your settings (“User1”~ “User8”) and push the dial.
A conrmation message informs you that the MIDI Set has been
saved.
If you change the MIDI settings after loading a “User” set, the BK-9
