See "Saving your new rhythm or song (SMF) version"
on p. 83.
NOTE
The changes you make using the procedure described
above can be "burned" into the rhythm/song file using the
"Freeze Data" command (see p. 83). Doing so will allow you
to hear those changes on any sequencer (software) you
use. Changes you don't "freeze" are nevertheless stored
when you save the edited rhythm/song file—but only the
BK-5 OR can read them.

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-5 OR) 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.
The following parameters are available:
Tone (T), Drum (D)
Allows you to select a different Tone within the
active Tone family. See the separate booklet for a list
of available Tones and Drum Sets.
While selecting a Tone, you can press a TONE button
to select a different family.
Parameter
Explanation
Tone (T)
The number of Tones depends on the
Drum (D)
selected family.
Mute (T)/Drum Mute (D)
Switches the selected instrument off. The corre-
sponding part is no longer played back. (This setting
only applies to the selected instrument and thus not
necessarily to the entire track.)
NOTE
In the case of the drums, you can mute two instrument
groups ("Drum Mute" and "Perc Mute", see below) sepa-
rately.
