Advanced use of arranger....

Both you guys are really into the BK9 but neither of you have one ???? Interesting. Thinking of a future purchase ?

After my BK5 scenario..I honestly have thought about the BK9 ...but I need to play one and to see much more before I'm convinced it will work for my NEEDS .....waiting for Fran to get one so I could go have breakfast and try the BK9..but his not purchasing one makes me wonder also......
something just aint right or he'd have it by now.

I found that rather odd, too. Perhaps Fran is waiting to see if the BK-9 will be supported by future add-ons before he decides to get one.

I realize he is not extremely concerned about weight, and the G-70 does cover what he needs done, and perhaps the SuperNatural sounds on the BK-9 aren't what he would use enough to warrant a purchase.

I'll be interested to hear DonM's views on it, since he had a BK-7M and really liked it..

Maybe Fran's just not gigging enough to justify it. The G70 is still a great board if you don't mind moving it.

It is a shame that a guy who could get the most out of it doesn't have one---wink.

BTW you have an open invitation to come on down the PKWY to Exit 0 anytime and try mine. Bring Fran too, he knows his way around here. I can't imagine what it would't be able to do for your gigs.

..or...you can do this (VOICE DATA MANUAL):

If Strum Mode is turned on, strumming will
be produced when you play multiple keys
simultaneously. This also reproduces the
difference in time at which each string of a
guitar is sounded. The guitar’s up strokes and
down strokes will alternately be produced
when chords are played in succession.
It is effective to play while holding down the
Hold pedal.

I'm kinda interested in this board (and what others have not):

1. I think the Music Assistant feature is awesome (loved the VA)
2. Never used "makeup tools", so that's a plus
3. D-Beam is cool
4. The manual nicely lays out what you can do and starts out very interesting in addressing sounds.
5. I like the split screen (so much more info)

just a few for me

Sorry to hog the thread, but: how about arps and loops, etc recorded from the moXF - WOW

Talked with Fran just before,....he's just waiting to get his hands on one and try the BK9 somewhere before he buys one,...hopefully it wont be long to be continued....

Just remember... (I think even Donny is a bit confused about this), audio loops played on the BK-9 do NOT follow your chords. They WILL follow your tempo and key changes, though. So no, this is not a Ketron!

If you prepare up audio files for specific songs with specific changes on them, then you can follow THEM with your LH chord changes, but if you've got a loop playing a Gm7 riff, you're not going to be able to have it change to a Gmaj7 riff simply by playing that in the LH. You'll need to record ANOTHER audio loop with the Gmaj7 riff...

For more general use rather than specific songs, you are much better off using the audio keys to play percussion loops, breakbeats, drum grooves, stuff like that. And with SEVEN of them available per Performance, you can add considerable variety to your style.

But sky's the limit if you are preparing them up for just one song.

I wonder if anyone is selling or sharing audio loops that will work.

Incredible collection of just about anything you could possibly need from hardcore and dubstep to jazz and Latin.

Pricey, but it's one stop and done!

Mixcraft6 comes with a large library ....wave loops...You can save them thru Mixcraft6 to use in other programs....Makes Mixcraft6 another bonus value..
