User manual for the Roland BK-9 Backing Keyboard BK-9
The user manual for the Roland BK-9 Backing Keyboard BK-9 provides
necessary instructions for the proper use of the product Pro Audio - Musical Instruments - Arranger Keyboards.
The BK-9 Backing Keyboard from Roland is a 76-note keyboard, lightweight at 21 lb. Its user interface features a dual LCD system, logical panel layout, and user-assignable controls. You can store up to 10 tones for each real-time part. The BK-9 features 1000 onboard Music Assistants, designed to provide instant setups for various musical genres. You can save an unlimited number of custom setups as Performance Lists to USB memory.
The BK-9 has 540 built-in rhythms which include 25 new selections. Via USB memory, unlimited additional rhythms can be added, and MP3, WAV, and SMF files can be played as well. A built-in 16-track sequencer provides a professional platform for composing and editing SMF data, while the Rhythm Composer lets you create and customize your own rhythms with ease. The convenient Chord Loop feature allows you to record and save chord sequences to drive the rhythms, great for generating on-the-fly backing patterns for two-handed solo/melody playing or preparing complete song arrangements for live performance, practice, or composition in the sequencer. With the Audio Key function, audio files stored on USB memory can be assigned to the top seven keyboard keys for quick-access playback while performing. Additionally, BK-9 performances can be recorded directly to USB memory as CD-ready WAV audio.
The BK-9 is compatible with Roland Wireless Connect, which provides cable-free communication with Apple's iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch via Roland's optional WNA1100-RL Wireless USB Adapter. An iPad can also be connected directly to the BK-9 with a USB cable using Apple's iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold separately). Free iOS apps such as Air Recorder for jamming and capturing performances (iPhone/iPad), BK Partner for selecting tones and rhythms (iPad), and Lyrics Viewer for displaying SMF lyrics (iPad) are available.
The BK-9 delivers with over 1,700 sounds and 70 drum kits. 22 sounds feature Roland's SuperNATURAL technology, designed to provide realistic acoustic instrument tones with a wide range of natural expression. Also included are 500 tones. The Virtual Tone Wheel sound engine puts legendary organ tones at your fingers, with front-panel harmonic bars and a rotary effect for authentic organ performance. The BK-9 is also equipped for future expansion, with a User Tone area dedicated for upcoming BK-series sound collections.
Five independent multi-effects engines (MFX) offer a range of sound processing possibilities, with three MFX dedicated to rhythms and two MFX dedicated to real-time parts. Global reverb and chorus effects are available as well, along with two mastering processors that allow you to optimize the sound of the rhythm and real-time sections separately to suit performance venues and add final polish for recordings. The Mixer function gives you instant adjustment of rhythm and real-time part levels, and MFX parameters via using the harmonic bars on the front panel.
The BK-9 has an XLR microphone input, which features phantom power, a dedicated reverb effect, and accessible front-panel controls. A composite video output jack is also provided, allowing you to display embedded MP3/SMF lyrics and chord symbols on an external video monitor. Photo slideshows can be displayed as well.
