rosetree Unregistered	I'm convinced the BK-9 can sound very good as th BK-7m already does in most sound categories. But I wonder why there is so much bashing in Youtube comments. Something is definitely wrong with many official/ dealer demos of the BK-9.

Donny I'm not sure what Multipads are, I've come to the BK9 from a G1000, but as you've read it can trigger audio loops from the upper keys. Not a feature I'll be using for some time. I'm more of a straight ahead player/singer. There's so much you do with this board to make it "yours" its scary. You can program as much or as little as you want and sound good. Just use the basses and drums and play over them (Mute track button knocks out all the other fluff in a style) with a piano sound and your there. Wait till Fran gets his and he'll be more adept at the heavy technical stuff LOL _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2450 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	Originally Posted By: DonM Unless they have changed since the BK7m, the Break/fill is just a total break, all silence, no fill. Yes it can be routed to a footswitch or programmable button. Maybe I don't understand but you can get a variety of fills by just hitting one of the Styles buttons 1-4. Lots of variety in Intros and Endings too using the same 4 buttons. I have a BK7M too and the only reason I don't prefer it is you really need an FC7 pedalboard to use it live. I guess thats good for guitar/accordian players but more than I want to deal with in a live situation.. _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2450 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	{ Well, I have a used BK-9 coming my way. Can't wait to hear it through my Yamaha DXR10 speakers. } Your gonna have a a great Christmas ! Please let us know how it sounds through the DXR10's. By that I mean I know they will sound great but can they really push it out to a medium/large crowd. Don has posted he likes the 12"s but I'd like to go a bit smaller/lighter if I can _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

But I wonder why there is so much bashing in Youtube comments. Something is definitely wrong with many official/ dealer demos of the BK-9. Some of the demos I've seen I think are quite good. I haven't read the bashing comments but I'm sure they're from people who've never played one. The only way to know is to play one for an extended time. The drums, basses and pianos and styles alone are worth it. Then theres a ton of other stuff to keep you busy for a long time. Its light yet feels nice and solid on the stand and I really can't imagine what is missing for a working pro. _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

ianmcnll Senior Member Registered: 07/27/05 Posts: 10606 Loc: Cape Breton Island, Canada	The dual LCD screens on the BK-9...I realize they aren't touch screens, but are they color screens? I couldn't find out for sure in the specs. Ian _________________________ Yamaha Tyros4, Yamaha MS-60S Powered Monitors(2), Yamaha CS-01, Yamaha TQ-5, Yamaha PSR-S775.

ianmcnll Senior Member Registered: 07/27/05 Posts: 10606 Loc: Cape Breton Island, Canada	Thanks Donny...they are a bit like the one on the PSR-S750 as far as I can tell by that picture. Not really color, but still pretty readable. Ian _________________________ Yamaha Tyros4, Yamaha MS-60S Powered Monitors(2), Yamaha CS-01, Yamaha TQ-5, Yamaha PSR-S775.
