Playing Back a Song or Rhythm from
a USB Memory
If you selected a rhythm, see “Playing Back Rhythms” (p. 38),
because operation is the same as for internal rhythms.
In the following, we will therefore only show you how to play back
song les located on a USB memory.
NOTE
The BK-9 has no internal memory where you could store SMF or
audio les.
1. Select a song (SMF or audio le) on the USB memory.
See “Selecting a Song or Rhythm on a USB Memory” (p. 44).
2. Press the [START/STOP] /[*/,] button to start playback.
The [*/, ] button’s indicator lights and song playback starts.
3. If necessary, you can change the song’s playback tempo:
• Press the TEMPO [] or [] button to decrease or increase the
tempo.
NOTE
If you set a tempo value close to the upper or lower limit for an
mp3 or WAVE le, playback may sound a little strange.
• Press the [TAP TEMPO] button at least three times at the desired
tempo. (This function is not available if you selected an audio le
(WAVE or mp3).)
TheBK-9 calculates the intervals between your presses and sets the
corresponding tempo value.
MEMO
Simultaneously press the TEMPO [] and [] buttons
(“STANDARD”) to return to the rhythm’s preset tempo.
4. Press the [START/STOP]/[*/, ] button again to pause song
playback.
The [START/STOP]/[ */, ] button goes dark.
5. Press [START/STOP]/[*/, ] button yet again to resume
playback.
6. Press the [SYNC START] /[ + ] button to stop playback
The Playback stops and the playback position return to the
beginning of the song.
