2.
Rotate the [CURSOR

the file you want to play back or display.
3.
Press the [ENTER/SELECT] button to load the
file.
The [USB MEMORY] button now lights to indicate
that you selected a file on the USB memory.
If the file you need is located inside a folder, you
must first select that folder, press the [ENTER/SELECT]
button to see its contents and then select the file. If
you opened a folder by mistake, press the [EXIT] but-
ton to return to a higher level.

Press and hold the [EXIT] button to return to the main

Playing back a song or rhythm from
a USB memory
If you selected a rhythm, see “Playing back rhythms” on
p. 32, because operation is the same as for internal
rhythms.
In the following, we will therefore only show you how to
play back song files located on a USB memory.
NOTE
The BK-5 OR has no internal memory where you could store
SMF or audio files.
1.
Select a song (SMF or audio file) on the USB
memory.
See page 37.
2.
Press the [START/STOP] button to start play-
back.
This button is also labeled [
®÷ π
].
The [
®÷ π
] button’s indicator lights and song playback
starts.
3.
If necessary, you can change the song’s
playback tempo:
• Press the TEMPO [
√
] or [
®
] button to decrease or
increase the tempo.
NOTE
If you set a tempo value close to the upper or lower limit
for an mp3 or WAV file, playback may sound a little
strange.
• Press the [TAP TEMPO] button at least three times at
the desired tempo. (This function is not available if
you selected an audio file (WAV or mp3).)
The BK-5 OR calculates the intervals between your
presses and sets the corresponding tempo value.
NOTE
Simultaneously press the TEMPO [
√
] and [
®
] buttons
(“STANDARD”) to return to the rhythm’s preset tempo.
4.
Press the [
®÷ π

playback.
The [
