This function sustains the notes you play in the chord
recognition area (“Zone”). Select “Off” if you want the
accompaniment to stop as soon as the keys in that
zone are released. This parameter is switched “On” by
default.

Tempo
Each rhythm has a preset tempo that is recalled
when a rhythm is selected. This parameter allows you
to specify if and when the BK-5 should ignore the
preset tempo and go on using the tempo of the pre-
viously selected rhythm.

Fill In Half Bar
When this parameter is “On”, the length of the Fill-
Ins, which are played when the [AUTO FILL IN] button
lights, is halved.

Certain pop songs in 4/4 contain bars that only last
two beats. The usual place for such a bar is between
the first and the second verse. Another favorite posi-
tion for “halved” bars is at the end of a chorus or the
bridge. Your BK-5 allows you to faithfully reproduce
these “anomalies” using this function. This does not
change rhythm playback right away. Only when a fill-
in or another VARIATION pattern starts will the “Fill-
in Half Bar” function be activated and play half the
number of beats of the accompaniment pattern you
selected.

Fill Ritardando
The FILL RIT function is suitable for ballads. It causes
the next Fill-In to slow down (“ritardando”). See
“Tempo Change Fill Rit” below for how to set how
strongly the tempo should be decreased.
