Local

This setting allows you to establish or remove the con-
nection between the BK-5 OR's keyboard and the inter-
nal tone generator.
Parameter Setting
Local On, Off (---)
If you select "On" (default), playing on the BK-5 OR's
keyboard or playing back a song/rhythm causes the
corresponding notes to sound. If you select "Off", the
corresponding MIDI messages are no longer sent to the
internal tone generator – but they are still transmitted
to the MIDI OUT socket (or USB COMPUTER port) and
hence to external MIDI instruments. When a parameter
is modified inside a part, the display shows "---".

Backing Keyboard BK-5 OR
Key/Rhythm
This option recalls the factory MIDI settings for the
keyboard parts (UP1, UP2, LWR, MELODY INT) and the
rhythm parts (ADrum, ABass, Acc1~6). The most
important (and practical) use for this field is resetting
the MIDI transmit/receive channels of the real-time
and rhythm parts and to switch off MIDI transmis-
sion/reception of the song parts.
NOTE
This parameter applies to both reception (RX) and trans-
mission (TX). The BK-5 OR indeed allows you to set separate
TX and RX channels for each part.
PK Series
This option prepares the BK-5 OR for MIDI control
using a PK-series MIDI pedalboard. The most impor-
tant settings are: "Part Switch" is set to "Int" and
"Rhythm PcRx" is set to "On".
Song
This option restores the factory settings for the
BK-5 OR's SMF song parts and switches off the MIDI
transmission and reception of the real-time and
rhythm parts.
User1~8
The BK-5 OR also allows you to store and recall 8 dif-
ferent MIDI configurations.
NOTE
Loading a MIDI Set only changes the MIDI settings and has
no effect on the remaining parameters.
