17. Adding pictures to the music
You can connect an external display or a television to the BK-9, and
use it to watch a slide show.
Displaying photos automatically
The BK-9 can display photos in succession. You can have the photos
switch automatically, somewhat like watching a movie. In addition,
you can choose a picture, which will be used as background on an
external screen.
Enjoying a VIMA TUNES slide show
You can watch a slide show while listening to a song on an optional
"VIMA TUNES" CD-ROM (produced for the VIMA series).
Songs on "VIMA TUNES" CD-ROMs provide slide show images
suitable for each song, making it easy for you to enjoy a slide show
without having to provide your own photos.
1.
Connect an external screen to the BK-9 (see p. 23).
2.
Connect a CD player (commercial available) to the BK-9's
USB MEMORY port.
3.
Insert the desired "VIMA TUNES" CD-ROM into the CD
drive.
The BK-9 now displays a list of the songs on the CD-ROM. If you
don't see that list, press the [USB MEMORY] button.
NOTE
"VIMA TUNES" songs are sold on CD-ROMs available from your
Roland dealer.
4.
Select the song you want to play back by first rotating the
dial and then pressing it to confirm your selection.
The [USB MEMORY] button's indicator lights.
5.
Press the [START/STOP]/[*/,] button to play back the song.
A slide show suitable for the character of the song will be shown on
the external display or television set connected to the BK-9.
NOTE
When you press the [SYNC START]/[ + ] button to stop song
playback, the slideshow also stops. When you load another
"VIMA TUNES" song, the previous slideshow stops and the
display shows the first picture for the new song.
Enjoying a slide show of your own
pictures
You can watch a slide show while listening to a song on a USB
storage device.
NOTE
The slide show only starts if the folder that contains the desired
pictures has the same name as the song file you selected (this is
also applies for a performance that contains a song that has the
same name of the folder). Also, the folder must be located on
the same level within the USB memory's file hierarchy.
1.
Use a graphic program on your computer to prepare the
pictures you want to use.
Image data that can be displayed:
Recommended: 512 x 384 or 1024 x 768 pixels.
(Images of 4096 x 3072 pixels or smaller and 4MB or less are
supported).
Size
NOTE
If you use images that are larger than the recommended size,
it may take longer to switch images.
Format
JPEG format (.JPG)
2.
Connect the USB memory to your computer and create a
folder named "Amazing Grace" (for example) on the USB
storage device.
3.
Copy the pictures you want to display for this song to the
"Amazing Grace" folder.
4.
Copy the song "Amazing Grace" to the same level as the
folder of the same name.
Do not put the song file inside the folder.
5.
Disconnect the USB memory from your computer in
accordance with the standard procedure for the operating
system you are using.
6.
Connect your USB memory to the BK-9's USB MEMORY
port.
The BK-9 automatically shows the contents of the USB memory you
inserted.
7.
Select the song you want to play back ("Amazing Grace" in
our example) by first rotating the dial and then pressing it
to confirm your selection.
8.
Press the [START/STOP]/[*/,] button to play back the
song.
The slide show of the pictures inside the "Amazing Grace" folder
begins.
NOTE
The slide show stops when you pause or stop song playback,
but the last picture is still displayed. You need to load a different
song that has no associated slide show to cause the background
or logo to be displayed (see "Using one of your own pictures as
background").
