Look what I found! Actually Don Patterson sent it to me.
http://donmasonmusic.com/Roland%20BK7m%20manual/
It's too big to attach here, so I put it on my website, because I can't find it on the web.

This sounds interesting...............?


"SUPER NATURAL SOUNDS"
"High-quality sounds
The best sounds generated by a top-level sound generator with 128-voice polyphony.
The BK-7m also contains two sounds that use
SuperNATURAL technology to realistically express the
sounds and simulate performance techniques of
these acoustic instruments.
Technology
SuperNATURAL is Roland’s proprietary sound-generation
technology that realistically reproduces the tonal changes
and performance techniques distinctive of an acoustic
instrument, allowing you to perform music that is natural
and richly expressive."

also..............

I loved these tools on my G70...


Cover function for Standard MIDI files and Music
Styles
Simply by selecting one of 30 presets, you can cause
a Viennese waltz to be played back by a heavy metal
band, etc. Even though the arrangement (rhythm,
riffs) does not change, the song’s character can be
changed beyond recognition.

Song and Style Makeup Tools for Standard MIDI
Files and Music Styles
These tools allow you to modify songs in no time
without knowing the MIDI commands normally used
to perform such changes.

One thing I dont like at first look is that there is no UP/Down transpose button.....its the same as the E60 where you need to use two or three steps to do it Arggggggg.... yamaha has it correct one step -/+ especially playing live.

That said.....this lil baby will be looked at seriously when released by me for sure...cant wait.

Hi Don,
thank you.
Really appreciated. Been looking forward to seeing if this little unit may suit my needs.

You've made my day.

The G70 has dedicated transpose buttons, unless you mean something else

Thats not what i mean......

with Yamaha you only havev to hit up or down key...

with Roland E60 you have to 1- push transpose button, 2- then go up or down -/+...thats 2 steps or morwe if needed....during a performance I need lighning button actions and this is unnessasry to use two or three moves & takes too long, definitly a bad design

G70 and E80 had it right and so does Ketron, but the transpose buttons on E50 and E60 and the module take two pushes.
HOWEVER, the UPG and Music Finder will store all settings, including transpose, no matter where the style or song is located,
unlike arrangers from a certain Japanese company.
I haven't looked but you could probably activate transpose with a midi command, since a controller will be necessary anyway.
