Activating the Lyrics
The BK-9 can show the lyrics of Standard MIDI Files or mp3 songs
you load.
If such song les contain Lyrics data, the lyrics are displayed on
an external screen you connect to the BK-9 (see “Connecting
a Television Set” (p. 23), unless you set the “External Lyrics”
parameter to “O” (p. 127).
Sometimes, however, it may be wiser to orient the external screen
in such a way that the audience can easily follow the lyrics, which
may then mean that you no longer see what is displayed. If you
need to see the lyrics, you can follow them on the BK-9’s internal
display (only for SMF les).
1. Load and play a song with lyrics data.
See “Selecting a Song or Rhythm on a USB Memory” (p. 44) and
“Playing Back a Song or Rhythm from a USB Memory” (p. 45).
2. Press the [LYRICS] button.
The internal left display now shows the lyrics of the selected song (4
lines at a time) and the chords of the song (only for SMF les).
Left Display
During the play back you can conveniently choose another song.
The left display will continue to display lyrics.
3. At the end of the song, press the [EXIT] button to return to
the previous page.
