Using Audio Phrases (Audio Key)
70
Parameter Value Explanation
Sync Audio O, On
If you want the selected phrase to run in
sync with the Rhythm or Song you intend
to use, select it “On” and set the BPM value
of your audio phrases. See “BPM (Use TAP)”
below.
If “Sync Audio” is set “On”, any tempo
changes will act on Audio Key, Song and
Rhythm.
BPM (Use TAP) 20~250
The BK-9 needs to know the BPM of your
audio phrase to synchronize it with a
Rhythm or SMF.
Set the exact BPM value of your audio
phrases.
If you don’t know the BPM, proceed as
follows:
a. Start playback of the selected
phrase by pressing the key assigned
to this phrase.
b. While listening to the phrase, press
the [TAP] button repeatedly until
you think the tempo value shown in
the “BPM (Use TAP)” eld is correct.
NOTE
Though this system is highly user-friendly
and fairly accurate, some amount of
“drifting” may occur for phrases that are
looped over long stretches (e.g. an entire
chorus or verse). We therefore recommend
re-triggering such phrases every two bars
at the latest. You can use the dial to set the
value too.
