Product description The black BK-3 Backing Keyboard from Roland is a portable, self-contained keyboard with built-in sound system. It includes music genres from around the world, including Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. There are over 850 tones and 50 drum kits built in. The BK-3 is compatible with the GM2, GS, and XG Lite formats to ensure playback with Standard MIDI Files.
A dedicated front-panel button allows you to record audio directly to USB memory. Your recordings are saved as CD-quality WAV data, making it easy to transfer them to your computer for burning audio CDs. The BK-3 can play a variety of external backing formats from optional USB memory, including WAV and MP3 audio, SMF, and Roland rhythms (BK, E, G, and VA series). Playback tempo and song key can be adjusted to suit your vocal range or performing needs, even with audio files. In addition, a Center Cancel function reduces the volume of vocals in commercial WAV/MP3 songs, ideal for karaoke singing and minus-one playing.
