Rhythm Composer
3.
Press the [TRACK MUTE] button again to switch off the
mute function (the "m" disappears).
NOTE
This mute setting only applies to the Rhythm Composer page.
During normal Arranger playback, all tracks that contain data
are played back. Use the "Erase" function to remove parts that
should not appear in your accompaniments (see p. 109).
Solo
4.
If you need to listen to a track in isolation, press and hold
the [TRACK MUTE] button and start playback.
This mutes all other tracks, while the selected track is flagged with
an "s".
5.
Press the [TRACK MUTE] button again to switch off the
function of the Solo function.
NOTE
If the track you solo was muted, it will be soloed like any other
track. After switching off the Solo function, the track in question
is once again muted.
Try the Rhythm Outside of the Composer
Once you have created your own rhythm, you may want to try it
using the "normal" playback.
NOTE
Save your rhythm before trying it out of the composer. See
"Saving your Rhythm" (p. 106).
1.
Press the [EXIT] button to leave the Rhythm Composer
environment.
If you have not saved the Rhythm the following message
appears:

Select "YES" to save your Rhythm. See "Saving your Rhythm" (p.
106).
2.
Press the [START/STOP] / [ */, ] button to listen to your
Rhythm.
3.
Play chords on the left part of the keyboard.
If the rhythm stops unexpectedly during playback, try different
chords. Chances are that you only programmed the major pattern,
so that the playback selects an empty pattern when you play a
minor or seventh chord. Remember to set the Mode parameter to
"M=m=7" until you have come to grips with the possibilities of the
BK-9's Arranger. That way, those three patterns will sound alike, but
at least you are sure that the Arranger does not stop when you play
a minor or seventh chord.
4.
Press the [START/STOP] / [ */, ] button again to stop the
playback.
If your own Rhythm is not satisfactory, you can modify it pressing
[MENU] "Rhythm Composer".
