NOTE
The BK-9 has no Undo function. Saving your song before editing
will allow you to load the previous version if something goes
wrong.
Here is how to select functions:
1. Load the song you wish to edit (if it does not yet reside in
the BK-9’s Song internal memory).
See “Selecting a Song or Rhythm on a USB Memory” (p. 44).
2. Press the [MENU] button, rotate the dial to select “16Track
Sequencer”, then push the dial.
3. Press the [QUICK MENU] button.
The left display changes to:
Left Display
4. Use the dial to select “Track Edit”.
The displays change to:
Left Display Right Display
5. Use the dial to select the desiderate “Track Edit” function.
The BK-9 changes the focus from the left to the right display.
6. Use the dial to select the track(s) you wish to modify.
7. Use the dial to select the range (“From” and “To”) for the
edit operation.
The “From” and “To” parameters allow you to specify the positions
(measure/beat/clock) of the track excerpt you want to change.
Parameter Setting Explanation
From Bar
1~[last measure
of the track or
song]
Refers to the rst measure to be edited.
By default, the “From” value is set to the
beginning of the selected track(s).
From Beat
1~[number of
beats per bar]
Species the beat position. The number
of available beats depends on the time
signature in the selected area.
From Cpt 1~119
Refers to the starting CPT position.
“CPT” is short for “Clock Pulse Time”, the
smallest unit used by the BK-9. (There
are 120 CPTs to every beat of a 4/4 bar.)
Change this setting only if your edit
operation should start after the selected
beat.
To Bar
1~[last measure
of the track or
song]
This is where you specify the bar position
of the last measure to be edited.
To Beat
1~[number of
beats per bar]
Species the beat position. The number
of available beats depends on the time
signature in the selected area.
To Cpt 1~119
Refers to the last clock that should be
aected by the edit operation. Change
this setting only if your edit operation
should not end exactly on the selected
beat.
Example: to change measures 1~4 of the selected track, enter the
following values:
From: Bar= 0001 To: Bar= 0005
Beat= 01 Beat= 01
Cpt= 000 Cpt= 000
8. Use the dial to specify what you want to change and how
it should change.
9. Conrm the operation by pressing the [WRITE] button.
10. Save your song.
See “Saving Your Song” (p. 84).
QUANTIZE
Use this function if you chose not to quantize your music during
recording and now realize that the timing is not quite what you
expected it to be. Quantizing after recording has the advantage
that you can rst listen to the original and then correct only those
notes whose timing is denitely o.
