Two ways to start with MIDI data recorder
The BK-9 allows you to decide how the BK-9's recorder can be
started and stopped.
1st way:
„

can stop both Rhythm playback and the recorder.
Press the [SONG REC] button to enable the recording.
Press the [START/STOP] / [ */ , ] button to start recording
simultaneously with Rhythm playback.
Starting the recorder in this way, the [SONG REC] or [START/STOP]

REC] button twice:

• Second, to start the recording.
To stop recording, press the [SONG REC] button a third time.

Rhythm playback if you started it while the recording was
running.
The following is based on the assumption that you choose the 1st
way to record.
1.
Connect the USB memory to which you wish to save the
audio data.
2.
Set the "Rec Mode" to "MIDI". See p. 143.
This setting allows you to record your playing as MIDI file.

time parts using the BALANCE knob.
