The BK-7m is powered by a state-of-the-art Roland sound engine,
packed with over 1,000 great tones and dozens of drum and
percussion kits. The module is able to handle 128 voices
simultaneously, and is compatible with a variety of voicing
formats, including GM2, GS, and XG Lite. Feed the BK-7m a quality
Standard MIDI File, buckle up, and get ready for a great-sounding
band. You can also use it as a high-quality sound module for a
MIDI-compatible instrument such as a digital piano, V-Accordion,
organ or guitar.

Creative Control
In addition to playing MIDI Files with its internal sound
generator, the BK-7m can also play and manipulate audio files. Play
MP3 or WAV files via USB and use the on-board controls to change
key signature and tempo to best suit your vocal range or
performance style. You can also use the BK-7m's Centre Cancel
feature to minimise the vocals from pre-existing songs to create
instant karaoke-style sing-along tracks.
USB Compatibility
To expand the capabilities of the BK-7m, a USB port is provided
for connecting to industry-standard USB storage devices such as a
USB key or self-powered USB hard disk for playing and
modifying/saving files. You can also use the USB port to record
your performances as audio files (WAV, 44.1KHz/16-bit linear
format) on a USB storage device.
Video Compatibility
The BK-7m's composite video output can be connected to an
external monitor, which allows the audience or other musicians
onstage to follow the lyrics and chord symbols of the performed
song. Turn your show into a multimedia experience!
