MIDI Settings in the BK for the communication with GESINI
Settings required in the
MIDI Set of the BK-7m
for the communication
with GERD
The BK-7m must be prepared to communicate with the PC via MIDI/USB. Obviously
you have to connect the BK-7m to the PC. This can be done either with an USB cable
or with two MIDI cables for MIDI IN and MIDI OUT (MIDI cables require additionally
a MIDI-USB-Interface at your PC). Both approaches provide the identical
functionality.
Comment: If you use the USB cable to connect the BK to the PC, the MIDI ports of
the BK can be used to connect further MIDI controllers (e.g. keyboard, organ,
accordion, etc.) to the BK.
Connection via USB
If you have problems to find the appropriate driver on the websites of Roland, please
contact GESINI's support team.

These drivers are provided by Roland for
download in the support/download areas

in the installation package of GERD.
