Filtering Performance Memories
Settings (Lock function)
The BK-9 allows you to lock (protect) several settings to ensure that they
no longer change when you select a dierent Performance memory.
Why is it Convenient to Use Filters (Lock Function)?
The BK-9’s locks are data lters that allow you to use your
Performance memories more eciently, because you can ignore
settings that may be ne for one song (the one you prepared the
Performance memory for), but not for another.
Here is an example:
Suppose you select a Performance memory that assigns some tones
which you want to keep for the entire song (or set). In this case lock
(i.e. protect) the “Tone” after selecting this memory to ensure that
the subsequent Performance memories you recall modify all of the
BK-9’s eligible settings except for the tones.
Which Parameter Can you Filter?
Below is a list of parameters that can be ltered:
Parameter Explanation
Rhythm* Lock the Rhythm when changing performances.
Tempo* Lock the Tempo when changing performances.
Expression
Pedal
Lock the expression when changing performances.
Assign
Switches
Lock the function assigned to the Assign Switches when
changing performances
DBeam
Lock the function assigned to the D-Beam buttons when
changing performances
Tone* Lock the Tone when changing performances.
Tone Part Lock the Tone Part when changing performances.
Split Lock the Split when changing performances.
Lower Octave Lock the Lower Octave when changing performances.
Arr Type Lock the Arr Type when changing performances.
Key* Lock the Key when changing performances.
MIDI Set Lock the MIDI Set when changing performances.
Bass Inversion Lock the Bass Inversion when changing performances.
Scale Tune Lock the Scale Tune when changing performances.
[*] These parameters can also be switched on/o by pressing and
holding the assigned buttons on the front panel. (See “How to
Switch Filters On/O Directly by Panel”)
For information on how to lter these parameters see “Performance
Hold “ (p.144).
NOTE
Unlike the other lock parameters, the protection of the tempo
setting also applies to rhythm selection.
See [MENU] button “Performance Edit” “Arranger Setting” 
“Tempo” (p. 138)
Each rhythm has a preset tempo value that is recalled when you
select it. While the tempo setting is locked, the tempo no longer
changes when you select a dierent rhythm.
MEMO
The “Save Global” parameter (p. 148) also saves the lock (and
hence the “Performance Hold”) settings.
How to Switch Filters On/O Directly by Panel
Some useful lters can be also switched on/o by pressing and
holding the assigned buttons on the front panel.
TIPS
To switch all lters O in one shot you can use an Assign
Switch which you assigned the Unlock function to. See “Assign
Switches” (p. 139).
MEMO
All lters can be switched on/o by “Performance Hold “ (p.
144).
In the example shown here, you will learn how to exclude rhythm
changes from Performance selections.
The same procedure (albeit with dierent buttons) also applies to
the tempo (press and hold [TAP TEMPO]) and “Key” (press and hold
[KEY]) settings as well as to Tone selection (for each of the real-time
parts individually).
1. Connect the USB memory and load a Performance
memory (p. 57) or a rhythm (p. 38).
