[. . . ] If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Unauthorized changes or modification to this system can void the users authority to operate this equipment. [. . . ] 3. Press the [MENU] button to jump to the location where the instrument is used. Playback starts automatically from that point. This parameters is not available for Music Styles. Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] to select the parameter you wish to edit, then press the dial. NOTE r Undo Changes: Select this entry to cancel all "Style/ Song Makeup Tools" settings you have made and to revert to the previously saved version. The Style and Song Makeup Tools environments do not support the BK-7m's SuperNATURAL sounds, which can therefore not be selected. 2. If you are satisfied with your changes and wish to preserve them, save your Music Style song to the USB memory. See "Saving your new Music Style or song (SMF) version" on p. 81. 76 Backing Module BK-7m r Makeup Tools (Style and SMF) NOTE If you select a Drum Set in step (1) above, the parameter list looks slightly different than for instruments that do not use a Drum Set. "Drum Sets" are special "Tones" that assign different sounds to most keys/note numbers, allowing you (and the BK-7m) to play realistic drum and percussion parts. In the following, "(T)" refers to parameters that are only available for regular instruments (also called "Tones"), while "(D)" refers to parameters that are only available for Drum Sets. Perc Mute (D) Suppresses (or adds) the percussion sounds used by the drum part. Parameter Perc Mute Value Off, On Volume Adjusts the volume of the selected instrument. Negative values decrease the current volume, positive values increase it. (This is a relative setting that is added to, or subtracted from, the original setting. ) Parameter Volume Setting -127~0~+127 The following parameters are available: Families (T) Allows you to select a different Tone family. After selecting a new family, you can press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial and then rotate it to select a Tone from that family Parameter Families Explanation The BK-7m's Tones are grouped into 15 families: piano, guitar, bass, strings, etc. Reverb Use this parameter to set the reverb send level. Negative values decrease the current reverb send level, positive values increase it. (This is a relative setting that is added to, or subtracted from, the original setting. ) Parameter Reverb Setting -127~0~+127 Tone (T), Drum (D) Allows you to select a different Tone within the active Tone family. While selecting a Tone, you can press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial and then rotate it to select a different family. Parameter Tone (T) Drum (D) Explanation Chorus Use this parameter to set the chorus send level. Negative values decrease the current chorus send level, positive values increase it. Use this parameter to set the level of the selected "High" frequency. Positive values boost (increase the volume of) that frequency, negative values cut (attenuate) it. Allows you to set the cutoff frequency of the middle band (this is a peaking filter). Use this parameter to specify the width of the "Mid Freq" band that you want to boost or cut. Smaller values mean that neighboring frequencies above/ below that value are also affected. Use this parameter to set the level of the selected "Mid Freq". Positive values boost (increase the volume of) that frequency, negative values cut (attenuate) it. Allows you to set the cutoff frequency of the low band (this is a shelving filter). Use this parameter to set the level of the selected "Low" frequency. Setting Off, A, B, C If you select "A", "B" or "C", additional parameters can be edited (see below). Mfx Type Allows you to select the desired Mfx type, i. e. Each Mfx ("A", "B" and "C") can be assigned to as many instruments as you like. Be aware, however, that selecting a different type will affect all instruments that use this Mfx processor. [. . . ] Rotary Tweeter Fast Speed (0. 05~10. 00Hz)--High-speed rotation speed of the tweeter. Rotary Tweeter Acceleration (0~15)--Adjusts the time it takes the rotor tweeter to reach the newly selected speed ("Fast" or "Slow"). Sympa Reso On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal allows other strings to resonate in sympathy with the notes you play, creating rich and spacious resonances. This effect simulates these sympathetic resonances. Depth (0~127)--Depth of the effect. [. . . ]
