Backing Module <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong><br />

Music Style functions<br />

■ ENDING<br />

■ AUTO FILL IN<br />

This button allows you to end your songs with a suitable<br />

closing section if you don’t want to simply stop<br />

Music Style playback. The behavior of the Ending pattern<br />

depends on when you press the [ENDING] button:<br />

[ENDING]<br />

Pressed before<br />

starting Music<br />

Style playback<br />

Pressed during<br />

Music Style playback<br />

Behavior<br />

The indicator lights.<br />

When you start Music Style playback,<br />

the Arranger plays a musical ending.<br />

At the end of the phrase, playback<br />

stops.<br />

The indicator flashes to signal that<br />

the ENDING pattern will begin on the<br />

next downbeat.<br />

When the ending is finished, Music<br />

Style playback stops.<br />

There are four different ENDING patterns, that can be<br />

selected using the VARIATION [1], [2], [3] and [4] buttons.<br />

Again, the VARIATION buttons determine the<br />

complexity of the arrangement.<br />

When this button lights, the <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong> plays a transition<br />

before switching to the newly selected VARIATION<br />

pattern. Example: if the VARIATION [1] pattern is running,<br />

pressing the [4] button will not switch to that<br />

pattern right away—the <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong> first plays a fill-in to<br />

announce the new song section.<br />

NOTE<br />

The duration of the fill-ins (transitions) can be halved if you<br />

like. See “Fill In Half Bar” on p. 60.<br />

Selecting Music Styles<br />

1. Press a RHYTHM FAMILY button to select<br />

the Music Style family.<br />

The indicator of the button you press lights and the<br />

display shows a list of the Music Styles that belong to<br />

this family:<br />

■ BASS INV<br />

In the example shown above, we pressed the<br />

[LIVE BAND] button.<br />

2. Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select<br />

the desired Music Style, then press the dial<br />

to confirm your selection.<br />

This button is used to switch the “Bass Inversion”<br />

function on or off. While the button is dark, the<br />

Music Style’s bass part always plays the fundamental<br />

of your notes or chords. Example: if you play a chord<br />

consisting of the notes C, E and G (which is recognized<br />

as a C major chord), the bass part plays a C.<br />

If the [BASS INV] button lights, the Music Styles bass<br />

part uses the lowest notes of the chords you play.<br />

Example: if you play a chord consisting of the notes<br />

E, G and C (still a C major chord), the bass part plays<br />

an E. This function therefore gives you more artistic<br />

licence.
