MIDI
This section discusses the BK-3’s MIDI parameters.
MIDI Channels
MIDI can simultaneously transmit and receive messages on 16
channels, so that up to 16 instruments can be controlled.
NOTE
All BK-3 parts are set to receive MIDI messages. If they do not
seem to respond to the messages you send from the external
controller, you should check whether the external controller’s
MIDI OUT is connected to the MIDI IN of your BK-3.
The MIDI channels are xed and you cannot change them.

MIDI Parameters
The MIDI parameters can be selected using [MENU] button “MIDI”
The BK-3’s MIDI environment contains the following options:
Local
The Local parameter allows you to establish or remove the
connection between the BK-3’s keyboard and the internal tone
generator.
Parameter Setting
Local O, On
When set to “On” (default), the keyboard and internal sound
generator are connected.
If you select “O”, the keyboard and internal sound generator are
disconnected but the note are still transmitted to the MIDI OUT or
USB port and hence to external MIDI instruments.
.
Preventing Double Notes
when Working with a Sequencer (Local Control)
When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this parameter
to “OFF”.
Since most sequencers have their Thru function turned on,
notes you play on the keyboard may be sounded in duplicate,
or get dropped. To prevent this, select “OFF” so that the
keyboard and internal sound generator will be disconnected.
