'Global' parameters
Explanation
• "Normal": This setting allows you to
record everything BK-9 can transmit
to its audio OUTPUT jacks.
• "Audio In": Use this setting if you
connected the master outputs of an
external mixing console to the BK-9's
Audio INPUT jacks and you want to
record your band or the signals of
an additional accordion, synthesizer,
piano, drum machine, etc., as well.
NOTE
Using this setting the Audio In
signal is not transmit to audio
OUTPUT jacks and PHONES output.
• "Solo": This setting allows you to
record everything BK-9 can transmit
to its audio OUTPUT jacks except
for the audio signal generated
by the internal playback of Audio
Backing (mp3, WAVE) and Audio Key
functions.
Allows you to set the recording level for
your own performances. See "Record-
ing your Performance as Audio Data"
(p. 75). The setting of the [VOLUME]
knob does not affect the recording
level. (Default setting: +0 dB)
• "Off": Choose this setting when
you want to start recording before
starting rhythm or song playback.
• "On": Choose this setting when you
want to be able to start recording
simultaneously with rhythm/song
playback. When you choose this
setting, pressing the [SONG REC]
button will stop both playback and
the recorder.
Select "On" if the "Center Cancel"
function (see p. 46) should also affect
the signals received via the INPUT jacks.
• "Generic": Choose this if you want
to use the standard USB driver that
was included with your computer.
Normally, you should use this mode.
• "Original": Choose this if you want to
use a USB driver downloaded from
the Roland website (www.roland.
com).
This parameter selects the MIDI Set
whose settings are loaded when the
BK-9 is switched on. See "Loading a
MIDI Set" (p. 152).
This parameter allows you to cause
the BK-9 to switch itself off after the
selected number of minutes has
elapsed if you are not using it.
The default setting is "30".
Select "Off" if you prefer not to use this
function.
The values in parentheses indicate
when the pop-up countdown appears.
This parameter allows you to select
the visual control mode. The option
