‘Performance Edit’ parameters
45
Parameter Setting Explanation
Mid Q 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0
Use this parameter to specify the width
of the “Mid Frequency” band that you
want to boost or cut. Smaller values
mean that neighboring frequencies
above/below that value are also aected.
Low Freq
90 Hz, 150 Hz, 180
Hz, 300 Hz, 360 Hz,
600 Hz
Allows you to set the cuto frequency of
the low band (this is a shelving lter).
Low Gain –15~+15 dB
Use this parameter to set the level of the
selected “Low” frequency.
4. Press the [EXIT] button to leave the “Eq Part Edit page.
Mfx
The BK-3 contains one multi-eects processor (“Mfx”) that can be
used to process the desired keyboard part(s). Select “O for parts
that don’t need to be processed by this Mfx.
Parameter Setting
Mfx O, On
Hold Pedal
This parameter allows you to specify whether and how a hold
damper pedal you connect to the “PEDAL HOLD/SWITCH” socket
should respond to Hold messages (CC64).
Parameter Setting
Hold Pedal Auto, On, O
Auto means that the part in question only responds to Hold
messages if it is assigned to the right half (Split) or the entire
keyboard.
On means that the part in question always responds to Hold
messages, even if it is assigned to the left half of the keyboard.
O, nally, means that the part does not respond to Hold
messages.
Octave Shift
Allows you to transpose the selected keyboard part in octave steps
Parameter Setting
Octave Shift –4~0~+4
Coarse Tune
Changes the pitch of the selected keyboard part in semi-tone steps.
Parameter Setting
Coarse Tune –24~0~+24
Fine Tune
Changes the pitch of the selected part in steps of 1 cent (1/100
semi-tone).
Parameter Setting
Fine Tune –100~0~+100
Portamento Mode
You can set the selected part to mono(phonic) mode.
Parameter Setting
Portamento Mode Poly, Mono
“Poly”, on the other hand, means that you can play chords using
the selected part
“Mono means that you can only play one note at a time. You
could select this mode to play a trumpet or woodwind part in a
more natural way.
Portamento Time
“Portamento means that the pitch doesn’t change in clearly
dened steps: it produces glides from one note to the next. Use
the this parameter to specify the speed at which those glides are
carried out. The higher the value, the slower the transitions.
Parameter Setting
Portamento Time 0~127
Bender Assign
This parameter allows you to specify for each keyboard part how it
should respond to Pitch Bend messages.
Parameter Setting
Bender Assign Auto, On, O
Auto”: The keyboard part only responds to left/right
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever when no
split setting causes it to be to the left of other keyboard parts.
In other words: parts you can play with your left hand after
selecting a split no longer respond to pitch bend messages. But
they will while the keyboard is not split.
On”: The keyboard part always responds to left/right
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever.
O”: The part in question does not respond to left/ right
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever.
Bender Range
This parameter sets the pitch interval, i.e. the value that will be used
when the BENDER/MODULATION lever is pushed all the way to the
left or right.
Parameter Setting
Bender Range 0~+24
Modulation Assign
This parameter allows you to specify for each keyboard part how it
should respond to Modulation messages (CC01).
Parameter Setting
Modulation Assign Auto, On, O
Auto”: The keyboard part only responds to backward
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever when no
split setting causes it to be to the left of other keyboard parts.
In other words: parts you can play with your left hand after
selecting a split no longer respond to modulation messages. But
they will while the keyboard is not split.
On”: The keyboard part always responds to backward
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever.
O”: The part in question does not respond to backward
movements of the BENDER/MODULATION lever.
Cut O
This lter parameter allows you to make the selected sound darker
or brighter. Positive settings mean that more overtones will be
allowed to pass, so that the sound becomes brighter. The further
this value is set in the negative direction, the fewer overtones will
be allowed to pass and the sound will become softer (darker).
