Lock functions
The BK-5 allows you to lock (protect) several settings to ensure that they no longer change when you select a different
Performance memory.
The BK-5’s locks are data filters that allow you to use
your Performance memories more efficiently, because
you can ignore settings that may be fine for one song
(the one you prepared the Performance memory for),
but not for another.
Here is an example: Suppose you select a Performance
memory that assigns the “French Horns” sound to the
Upper1 part, which you want to keep for the entire song
(or set). In this case lock (i.e. protect) the Upper1 part
after selecting this memory to ensure that subsequent
Performance memories you recall modify all of the
BK-5’s eligible settings—except the Upper1 part (which
goes on using the “French Horns” sound).
All settings that can be protected are indicated by
means of the legend “Hold to LOCK”.
NOTE
The “Performance Hold” settings are linked to these buttons
and therefore adopt the on/off status you select on the BK-5’s
front panel.
NOTE
Unlike the other lock parameters, the protection of the tempo
setting (see [MENU] button‰ “Performance Edit”‰ “Arranger
Setting” ‰ “Tempo”, page 63) also applies to rhythm selection.
Each rhythm has a preset tempo value that is recalled when
you select it. While the tempo setting is locked, the tempo no
longer changes when you select a different rhythm.
NOTE
The “Save Global” parameter (page 70) also saves the lock (and
hence the “Performance Hold”) settings.
Whenever you switch a lock function on or off, the dis-
play briefly informs you about this:
The lock status of the functions that provide this protec-
tion is also displayed on the main page:
Switching the locks on and off
In the example shown here, you will learn how to
exclude rhythm changes from Performance selections.
The same procedure (albeit with different buttons) also
applies to the tempo (press and hold [TAP TEMPO]) and
“Key” (press and hold [KEY]) settings as well as to Tone
selection (for each of the real-time parts individually).
1.
Connect the USB memory and load a Perfor-
mance memory (page 45) or a rhythm
(page 29).
2.
Press and hold one of the RHYTHM FAMILY
buttons.
A “Rhythm” pop-up window appears with a closed
lock (see left). (If you repeat step (2), the pop-up win-
dow will display an open lock to inform you that the
lock function has been cancelled.)
3.
Start playback of the selected rhythm.
4.
Select a different Performance memory.
If the lock next to “RHYTHM” on the main page is
closed, recalling another Performance does not
change the rhythm.
5.
Again press and hold any RHYTHM FAMILY
button to unlock the “RHYTHM” function.
The Upper1 part no longer changes
Tones.
The Upper1 part will change Tones
when you select a different Perfor-
mance memory.
