selected Music Style and no melodic accompaniment
parts (ABass, ACC1~6).

Accordionist2, Guitarist, Intelligent, Easy
NOTE
If the “Arr Type” parameter (page 63) is set to “On”, this
“Type” setting has no effect.
Standard: This is the normal chord recognition
mode.
Pianist: In this mode, the BK-7m only recognizes
chords that consist of at least three notes. Playing
only two notes will not cause the Music Style’s key to
change.
Guitarist: Select this setting if you are using a MIDI
guitar to control the BK-7m’s Arranger.
Intelligent: Select “Intelligent” when you want the
chord recognition to supply the missing notes of the
chords you play.
Accordionist1: Select this setting if you are using an
FR-x-series or MIDI-compatible accordion to control
the BK-7m’s Arranger.
Accordionist2: Select this setting if you are using a
MIDI-compatible accordion that transmits its chord
information within a single octave and “dim” chords
without the root note.
Easy: This is another “intelligent” chord fingering system.
It works as follows:
Major chords
Minor chords
Press the key that corresponds to the
chord’s fundamental.
Fundamental + any black key to the
left of the fundamental.
Arranger Hold
Select “Off” if you want the accompaniment to stop
as soon as the notes received by the NTA parts are
released. This parameter is switched “On” by default.
Parameter
Arranger Hold
Tempo
Each Music Style has a preset tempo that is recalled
when a Style is selected. This parameter allows you to
specify if and when the BK-7m should ignore the
preset tempo and go on using the tempo of the previously
selected Music Style.
