Playing the BK-7m's real-time parts

Your BK-7m contains four real-time parts that can be controlled via MIDI: UP1, UP2, LWR and MBS. Feel free to use only
one of them at a time or to control them simultaneously. You can assign the desired sounds (or "Tones") to each of these
parts.
See page 91 for a list of the available sounds.
Switching real-time parts on and
off
1.
Switch on the [PART] button (its indicator
lights).
PART
The [1], [2], [3] and [4] buttons are now used to
switch the real-time parts on and off:
While the [PART] indicator lights, the indicators of
the [1], [2], [3] and [4] buttons show which real-time
parts are currently active.
2.
Press the [1], [2], [3] or [4] button to switch
the corresponding part (MBS, LWR, UP2 or
UP1) on (indicator lights) or off (indicator
goes dark).
See "'Wizard Connection' MIDI channel settings" on
p. 26 for the MIDI channels the real-time parts
receive on. This obviously depends on the selected
category and option (see p. 22).

Selecting Tones for the real-time
parts
On the BK-7m, the sounds you can assign to the real-

real-time parts.
Tones can be selected in three ways:

family (see p. 91), press the
[CURSOR÷VALUE] dial.

you can skip to step (6).
5.
Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select
the desired family, then press the dial to
confirm your selection.

The names of the BK-7m's SuperNATURAL sounds
start with an "N" ("N.Trombone" and "N.Tenor Sax").
