General

For a starter model, the Roland BK-3 is an exceptionally complete backing keyboard. It was designed for amateur players and features no less than 850 sounds, 50 drum kits and various effects. Play solo, or choose one of the 250 backing rhythms to accompany you. Both the sounds and rhythms of the BK-3 come in various shapes and forms, which means the keyboard can be used for nearly any genre. The music is reproduced via two speakers, but you can also use a pair of headphones.

Be an Entire Band with the BK-3

The instruments and automatic backing styles of the Roland BK3 range from modern to classic and from East European via Latin American to Asian. It's possible to connect an optional USB stick, which you can fill with additional backing files (STL), or with SMF, MP3 or WAV files. You can adjust the tempo of the audio files and mute the lead vocals of a lot of songs by using the Center Cancel function.

Recording

Making recordings is a simple with the BK-3. Connect a USB stick and this arranger keyboard records your playing as a WAV file (CD quality). You can also easily transfer the notes you are playing to MIDI software on your own computer via the classic MIDI port or the USB B port. This Roland instrument is fitted with an input for a sustain pedal as well. All in all, this great beginner keyboard has too many features to mention!
