Backing Keyboard BK-5
Rhythm
The following parameters are located on the display
page that can be selected using [MENU] button‰
“MIDI” ‰ “Edit System” ‰ “Rhythm”.
The Rhythm channel is used for receiving program
change and bank select messages that select rhythms
and volume messages that change the rhythm’s vol-
ume.
The MIDI address of a rhythm consists of three ele-
ments: a CC00 number, a CC32 number and a pro-
gram change number. The values assigned to CC00
and CC32 define the rhythm (see “Rhythm list” on
p. 117), whereas the program change number defines
the Division (Intro, Ending, etc.). See “Rhythm division
program change numbers” on p. 118.
Sending only a program change number selects
another Division of the currently active rhythm. Be
aware, however, that only sending CC00 and CC32
messages (without a program change) has no effect.
NOTE
When you select another rhythm on your BK-5, it transmits
a CC00-CC32-PC cluster on the Rhythm channel, which
you could record using an external sequencer.
Tx
Switches the transmission of MIDI messages on the
Rhythm channel on or off.

Rhythm Volume Rx
Allows you to enable or disable the reception of vol-
ume messages relating the rhythm.
Rhythm Pc Rx
This parameter allows you to enable or disable the
reception of program change and bank select mes-
sages for rhythm selection.
NTA
The following parameters are located on the display
page that can be selected using [MENU] button‰
“MIDI” ‰ “Edit System” ‰ “NTA”.
NTA notes are only received (from an external MIDI
instrument). What you play in the chord recognition
area of the keyboard to feed the Arranger is auto-
matically converted to the corresponding MIDI note
numbers, so that all rhythm parts transmit their
notes to external instruments. There is thus no need
to transmit the note messages of what you play in
the chord recognition area (NTA) separately.
These parameters allow you to specify on which MIDI
channels the BK-5 should receive chord information
used to change the rhythm’s key in real-time.
Channel
Allows you to select the MIDI channel on which the
BK-5 should receive NTA messages.
Rx
This parameter allows you to specify whether (“On”)
or not (“Off”) the selected MIDI channel should be
used to receive chord information.
