2.2.
'Connection Wizard' of the BK
The BK-7m offers a 'Connection Wizard'. For the first tests of
GERD
we recommend
to ignore this wizard. Because if you select an operating mode with this wizard, some
settings are made automatically which cannot be changed later in the menu of the
BK. If everything with the MIDI communication between the BK and
GERD
is working
well, you can use the 'Connection Wizard' as before.
Comment: As
GERD
controls the BK from "outside",
GERD
is only able to control the
parameter accessible via MIDI from "outside". And the 'Connection Wizard' closes
some doors for external controlling. And these doors cannot be re-opened easily.
Because of that we recommend to make the first tests without the 'Connection
Wizard'.
Save the settings in a "MIDI Set" in the BK (instead of using the 'Wizard')
All parameters described on the following pages can be saved in a "MIDI Set". If you
do not know how to save a "MIDI Set" please use the Owner's Manual and read the
instructions related to the "MIDI Sets".
With "MIDI Sets" you could avoid the 'Connection Wizard' and you can define
different sets for different applications and operation modes of
GERD
(See next
pages).
If you saved your settings in a "MIDI Set", you can easily recall the settings each
time you start your BK.
The more you allow in the BK to be controlled from external, the greater your benefit
when working with
GERD
. We will describe what you can configure to get the max.
flexibility to externally control the BK.
If you do not want all these parameters to be controlled from an external software
tool, you can obviously disable whatever you want. But for the initial work and test
of
GERD
, we recommend to enable all options. Because then you will see, what
GERD
is actually able to do.
