Extending the capabilities of the BK with
GERD
(A) Playing with Styles
If the BK is played with styles, 8 of the 16 internal parts of the BK are controlled by
the style (ADrums, ABass, ACC 1, ACC 2, ACC 3, ACC 4, ACC 5, ACC 6) and cannot
be controlled from the external world.
But the 8 remaining internal 'Song Parts' (parts 4, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16) and
the 4 'Tone Parts' (UP1, UP2, LWR, MBS) can be controlled via
GERD
.
With
GERD
the musician can now address, control, and play 8 + 4 = 12 parts of the
BK during a live session! This allows various splits and layer sounds and increases
the potential of the BK significantly.
Comment: As 16 MIDI channels are available, the unique assignment of channels to
parts is possible and no MIDI channel must be used for two parts simultaneously.
Further information for
experienced
BK, MIDI, and
GERD
users:
GERD
controls the parts of the BK either with MIDI Control Changes or with MIDI
Sys-Ex messages. It is recommended to use Sys-Ex messages to control two parts
sharing the same MIDI channel. With CC messages both parts using the same MIDI
channel will process the same messages while with Sys-Ex messages the two parts
can be controlled individually.
The 2 figures show how the control mode can be changed:
MIDI control of Part UP1:
SE = Sys-Ex
MIDI control of "Song Part 4':
CC = Control Changes
