MIDI parameters<br />

This section discusses the <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong>’s MIDI parameters and<br />

the associated memories called “MIDI Sets”.<br />

■ What’s MIDI<br />

“MIDI” stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface.”<br />

It is a universal standard that allows performance<br />

data to be exchanged among electronic musical<br />

instruments and computers. The <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong> provides<br />

a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT socket so that performance<br />

data can be received from other MIDI instruments. It<br />

is also equipped with a C<strong>OM</strong>PUTER port (USB) that<br />

can receive and transmit MIDI data from a computer.<br />

The MIDI parameters can be selected using [MENU]<br />

button ‰ “MIDI”.<br />

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

the “MIDI Set” field.<br />

2. Press the dial to edit the “MIDI Set” field.<br />

The “MIDI Set” field is now displayed in reverse.<br />

3. Use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select the<br />

MIDi Set “User1~8” you want to load, then<br />

press the dial to confirm your selection.<br />

The <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong> loads the selected MIDI Set.<br />

NOTE<br />

We recommend using the wizard to quickly set up the<br />

<strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong> for new MIDI controllers you may want to use. See<br />

“Wizard Connection” on p. 22.<br />

Loading a MIDI Set<br />

The <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong> allows you to store and recall 8 different<br />

MIDI configurations.<br />

NOTE<br />

Loading a MIDI Set only changes the MIDI settings and has no<br />

effect on the remaining parameters that are also affected by<br />

the “Wizard Connection” function (see p. 87).<br />
