NOTE<br />
You can also select the <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong>’s Tones via MIDI. Be aware,<br />
however, that if the <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong> receives a sound select cluster<br />
(bank select + program change message) for which there is<br />
no Tone, the display shows “---” instead of a Tone name<br />
and the real-time part in question no longer sounds.<br />
Selecting SuperNATURAL sounds (UP1 part)<br />
The <strong>BK</strong>-<strong>7m</strong> contains two high-quality brass Tones based<br />
on <strong>Roland</strong>’s SuperNATURAL technology. These are called<br />
“N.Trombone” and “N.Tenor Sax”. See the “Tone List” on<br />
p. 91.<br />
Various expressive performance elements typical of<br />
brass instruments were difficult to play on a keyboard,<br />
but can now be reproduced without special operations<br />
and played expressively with a realistic tone. If you play<br />
legato, the sound changes smoothly between notes. If<br />
you play staccato, the sound has a crisp attack.<br />
If you play a note and then press a second key without<br />
releasing the previous key, only the second note sounds<br />
(monophonic). If, however, you press several keys simultaneously,<br />
the UP1 part plays chords (polyphonic).<br />
Other parameters that can be controlled in realtime are:<br />

Adjusts the accuracy of<br />
the player.<br />
Using values near 0, the<br />
initial pitch at the beginning<br />
of each note will be<br />
unstable. There will also<br />
be a greater spread<br />
between the timing of<br />
each player’s notes.<br />
Using values near 7F, the<br />
pitch at the beginning of<br />
each note and the timing<br />
of the notes will both be<br />
accurate.<br />
Adjusts the amount of<br />
growl for strongly played<br />
notes.<br />
Using values near 0, the<br />
amount of growl at the<br />
beginning of each note<br />
will be minimal.<br />
Using values near 7F, the<br />
beginning of each note<br />
will have the maximum<br />
amount of growl. The<br />
more strongly you play<br />
the keyboard, the stronger<br />
this effect will be<br />
If you set staccato, the<br />
played notes result distinctly<br />
separate while<br />
also short in length.<br />
If you set Fall, the release<br />
of sound will behave in<br />
the manner distinctive of<br />
brass instruments, meaning<br />
that the volume will<br />
also decrease.<br />
Discontinuous<br />
pitch change<br />
Pitch Bender<br />
The discontinuous pitch<br />
change is typical of brass<br />
instruments, instead of<br />
the normal smooth pitch<br />
change. When you apply<br />
a downward bend, the<br />
sound will behave in the<br />
manner distinctive of<br />
brass instruments, meaning<br />
that the volume will<br />
also decrease.<br />
