Mfx
The BK-7m contains three multi-effect processors
(“Mfx”), one reverb processor and one chorus processor
that can be used to process Music Styles or Standard
MIDI Files.
Select “Off” for instruments that don’t need to be
processed by any Mfx.
Parameter
Mfx
NOTE
If you select “A”, “B” or “C”, additional parameters can be
edited (see below).
Mfx Type
Allows you to select the desired Mfx type, i.e. the kind
of effect you need. Each Mfx (“A”, “B” and “C”) can be
assigned to as many instruments as you like. Be
aware, however, that selecting a different type will
affect all instruments that use this Mfx processor. See
page 55 for a list of the available Mfx types.
NOTE
Each Mfx (“A”, “B” and “C”) can be assigned to as many
instruments as you like. Be aware, however, that selecting a
different type will affect all instruments that use this Mfx
processor.
NOTE
While the “Mfx” parameter is set to “Off”, you cannot select
a different type. In that case, the display will show the
message “---”.
Mfx Edit
If you also want to edit the parameters of the
selected effect type, press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial
to jump to the “Mfx Edit” page. You can then use the
[CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to edit the available parameters.
See “MFX types and parameters” on p. 107 for the
parameters that are available for the selected Mfx
type.
NOTE
While the “Mfx” parameter is set to “Off”, you cannot edit
the Mfx parameters. In that case, the display will show the
message “No Edit”.

Parameter Setting Explanation
Equalizer Off, On Activate this setting if
you want to change
the timbre of the
selected instrument.
This parameter duplicates
the “Equalizer”
above and was added
for your convenience.
High Freq 1500 Hz, 2000
Hz, 3000 Hz,
4000 Hz, 6000
Hz, 8000 Hz,
12000 Hz
Allows you to set the
cutoff frequency of
the high band (this is a
shelving filter).
High Gain –15~+15 dB Use this parameter to
set the level of the
selected “High” frequency.
Positive values
boost (increase the
volume of) that frequency,
negative values
cut (attenuate) it.
Mid Freq 200~8000 Hz Allows you to set the
cutoff frequency of
the middle band (this is
a peaking filter).
Mid Q 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 Use this parameter to
specify the width of
the “Mid Freq” band
that you want to boost
or cut. Smaller values
mean that neighboring
frequencies above/
below that value are
also affected.
Mid Gain –15~1+5 dB Use this parameter to
set the level of the
selected “Mid Freq”.
Positive values boost
(increase the volume
of) that frequency,
negative values cut
(attenuate) it.
Low Freq
90 Hz, 150 Hz,
180 Hz, 300
Hz, 360 Hz,
600 Hz
Allows you to set the
cutoff frequency of
the low band (this is a
shelving filter).
Low Gain –15~+15 dB Use this parameter to
set the level of the
selected “Low” frequency.
