MIDI parameters
This section discusses the BK-5’s MIDI parameters and
the associated memories called “MIDI Sets”.
■ What’s MIDI
“MIDI” stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Inter-
face.” It is a universal standard that allows perfor-
mance data to be exchanged among electronic musi-
cal instruments and computers. The BK-5 provides a
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT socket so that performance
data can be received from other MIDI instruments. It
is also equipped with a COMPUTER port (USB) that
can receive and transmit MIDI data from a computer.
The MIDI parameters can be selected using [MENU]
button ‰ “MIDI”.
The BK-5’s MIDI environment contains the following
options:
