Backing Module BK-7m Music Style functions 9. Music Style functions The BK-7m contains a function that plays back automatic accompaniments called “Music Styles”. This section explains how to take advantage of the BK-7m’s accompaniments. Volume balance between the backing and the real-time parts If the Music Style accompaniment is too loud or too soft with respect to the real-time parts you are using, you can change the balance with the [BALANCE] knob: BALANCE Using Music Styles The “interactive” aspect about the Music Styles is that you can change the key of the accompaniment simply by playing different notes or chord on your MIDI controller. Additionally, you can select different variations (more or less complex arrangements) for the active Music Style. The BK-7m provides several buttons for this. ■ START/STOP Turn it towards “PART” to make the accompaniment softer, or towards “BACKING” if the real-time parts are too loud with respect to the accompaniment. About the Music Styles The BK-7m can generate interactive accompaniments based on the Music Style you select. Each Music Style is a typical accompaniment for a given musical genre. The BK-7m comes with 433 internal Music Styles divided over 10 families (see the “RHYTHM FAMILY” section on the front panel). The melodic accompaniment parts of the selected Music Styles follow the chords you play on the external MIDI controller (keyboard, MIDI accordion, MIDI guitar, etc.). The BK-7m uses special MIDI parts to receive this note information: “NTA”, which is short for “Note-to- Arranger”. Your MIDI controller must therefore transmit its note information for the accompaniment function (Arranger) on a MIDI channel assigned to an NTA part. This button is used to start and stop Music Style playback. While a Music Style is running, the button’s indicator flashes red on the first beat of each bar, and green on the remaining beats. NOTE You can also start (and stop) Music Style playback simply by playing on the external MIDI controller. See the next function. r 30
Backing Module BK-7m r Using Music Styles ■ SYNC START VARIATION Explanation [4] This is the most complex arrangement. Consider selecting it for the bridge or the final chorus sections of a song. Note that the VARIATION patterns are repeated (played back in a loop) until select a different pattern or stop Music Style playback. This button activates and switches off the “Sync Start” or “Sync Start/Stop” function. Pressing it several times allows you to select one of the following options: Function [SYNC START] indicator Explanation Sync Start Lights red Music Style playback can be started by playing a note or chord on the MIDI controller. Press [START/STOP] to stop Music Style Playback. Sync Start/ Stop Lights green ■ VARIATION [1], [2], [3], [4] Music Style playback can be started by playing a note or chord on the MIDI controller. Playback will stop when you release all keys. — Dark Music Style playback needs to be started and stopped using the [START/STOP] button. ■ INTRO Selects an introduction, which is usually used at the beginning of a song. You can, however, also select this pattern for other song sections. The behavior of the Intro pattern depends on when you press the [INTRO] button: [INTRO] Pressed before starting Music Style playback Pressed during Music Style playback Behavior The indicator lights. When you start Music Style playback, the Arranger first plays a musical introduction. (This pattern is played back only once). The indicator flashes to signal that the INTRO pattern will begin on the next downbeat. When the intro is finished, the BK-7m returns to the previously selected VARIATION pattern. There are, in fact, four different INTRO patterns, that can be selected using the VARIATION [1], [2], [3] and [4] buttons. Again, the VARIATION buttons determine the complexity of the arrangement. These buttons are used to select the complexity (number of parts) of the Music Style’s arrangement: VARIATION Explanation [1] The simplest accompaniment pattern. A goof choice for the first of the songs you play. [2] A slightly more complex pattern you may want to use for subsequent verses. [3] This pattern would be a good choice for the first chorus. 31
