Really, would you be running something like this from a controller that doesn't have a pitch bend control?



Well Nigel, I have considered using it with a Yamaha P-95, and would probably (I'm serious, now) recommend the BK-7m to any of my P-95/NP-30 clients wanting a very portable piano based arranger...the BK-7m has ON BASS (reads chord inversions) and some other pro features that aren't on Yamaha's piano based arrangers like the NPV80.

Certainly, a controller with the wheels would be better, but I'm just thinking of those who already have a lightweight digital piano that doesn't have pitch/mod wheels.

I still think the BK-7m is a great module, and maybe, just maybe, it might influence Yamaha and Korg to make one of their own.

PS...Yamaha's S-series and all Tyros have a pedal controlled pitch bend function (up or down...not both at the same time), and I've used it quite often, so that's why I think it would be a nice easy to implement feature on the BK-7m.
