Roland BK-3, Quick Manual

Page: 26 / 44

26 QUICK GUIDE
Intro
Med [Intro] knappen vælges en introduktion, som typisk bruges ved starten af en
sang, men kan også aktiveres midt i en sang som en ekstra variation undervejs.
Bemærk at [Intro] har 4 forskellige variationer, afhængig af hvilken variation [1], [2],
[3] eller [4] som er aktiveret.
Ending
Denne knap gør dig i stand til at afslutte din sang melodisk i stedet for at stoppe den
med [START/ATOP] knappen. Dette giver en meget naturlig afrunding af melodien du
spiller.
Bemærk at [ENDING] har 4 forskellige variationer, afhængig af hvilken variation [1],
[2], [3] eller [4] som er aktiveret, inden [ENDING] aktiveres.
Using Rhythms
23
VARIATION [1], [2], [3], [4]
These buttons are used to select the complexity (number of parts)
of the rhythm arrangement:
[VARIATION] Explanation
[1]
The simplest accompaniment pattern. A good 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
[4]
This is the most complex arrangement. Consider selecting
it for the bridge or the final chorus sections of a song.
MEMO
The VARIATION patterns are repeated (played back in a loop)
until a different pattern is selected or rhythm playback is
stopped.
[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] Explanation
Pressed before
starting rhythm
playback
The indicator lights.
When you start rhythm playback, the BK-3 first plays a
musical introduction. (This pattern is played back only
once).
Pressed
during rhythm
playback
The indicator flashes to signal that the INTRO pattern will
begin on the next downbeat.
When the intro is finished, the BK-3 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 intro
arrangement.
[ENDING] / [
&
]
This button allows you to end your songs with a suitable closing
section if you don’t want to simply stop playback. The behavior
of the Ending pattern depends on when you press the [ENDING]
button:
[ENDING] Explanation
Pressed before
starting rhythm
playback
The indicator lights.
When you start rhythm playback, the BK-3 plays a musical
ending. At the end of the phrase, playback stops.
Pressed
during rhythm
playback
The indicator flashes to signal that the ENDING pattern
will begin on the next downbeat.
When the ending is finished, rhythm playback stops.
There are four different ENDING patterns, that can be selected using
the VARIATION [1], [2], [3] and [4] buttons.
Again, the VARIATION buttons determine the complexity of the
arrangement
[BASS INV]
This button is used to switch the “Bass Inversion” function on or
off. While the button is dark, the rhythm bass part always plays the
fundamental of your notes or chords. Example: if you play a chord
consisting of the notes C, E and G (which is recognized as a C major
chord), the bass part plays a C.
If the [BASS INV] button lights, the rhythm bass part uses the lowest
notes of the chords you play.
Example: if you play a chord consisting of the notes E, G and C (still
a C major chord), the bass part plays an E. This function therefore
gives you more artistic licence.
