If you want additionally a feedback from the BK when settings in the BK are
changed, you should enable the transmission of the MIDI data for the song parts as
well:
MENU
MIDI
Edit Song Parts
Tx
On
Tx Ch
1
or
2
or ….
Comment: We recommend to use the same MIDI channel for Tx and Rx of a part.
Be careful:
Depending on the channels you assigned to the 'song Parts', some MIDI channels
might now be used twice: first for a "Tone Part" (UP1, UP2, LWR, MBS) and second
for a "Song Part", e.g. you may assign MIDI Channel 4 to UP1 and to 'Song Part' 4.
This will lead to problems as external MIDI messages received on MIDI Channel 4
will always be processed by both parts (UP1 and 'Song Part 4').
To avoid this please disable the MIDI Rx for the 'Song Parts' with a MIDI Channel
also used by the 'Tone Parts'.
Style Parts:
Unfortunately the style parts cannot be fully controlled with an external controller.
According to the MIDI Implementation of the BK series, the style parts can only be
switched on or off with NRPN MIDI messages. But any further changes of any
parameter of these parts (e.g. sounds, volume) are disabled by Roland.
