Muting tracks while recording others
After programming a few tracks, you may find that cer-
tain parts tend to confuse you. That is why the BK-5
allows you to mute tracks that you do not want to hear
during recording.

NOTE
Save your rhythm before trying it out with the Arranger.
If the rhythm stops unexpectedly during playback in
Arranger mode, try different chords. Chances are that
you only programmed the major pattern, so that the
Arranger selects an empty pattern when you play a
minor or seventh chord. Remember to set the Mode
parameter to “M=m=7” until you have come to grips
with the possibilities of the BK-5’s Arranger. That
way, those three patterns will sound alike, but at
least you are sure that the Arranger does not stop
when you play a minor or seventh chord.
