Product information

Product no: 9000-0004-9707

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!

Roland BK-3 Backing Keyboard (Black)

Leuk voor in huis, geluid is goed maar voor echte optredens niet geschikt. Bestaande files of songs wel of niet bewerkt gaat met regelmaat in de stress. Net als bij de cd speler van vroeger begint hij te stotteren. Dit is nu mijn tweede BK3 maar hetzelfde probleem. Niet geschikt om mee op te treden dus.

Roland BK-3 Backing Keyboard (Black)

Ik heb maar heel even en een paar stijlen bekeken van het keyboard maar de kwaliteit van de stijlen is ZEER goed voor de prijs. Ik wist niet wat te verwachten maar naar wat ik gehoord heb ben ik zeer tevreden ermee.
Dit keyboard zal in de toekomst zeker voor mijn website gebruikt worden.

Roland BK-3 Backing Keyboard (Black)

Heerlijk keyboard, mooi geluid. Heeft een fijne toetsaanslag. Ben beginner en kan er relatief snel mee uit de voeten. Grote hoeveelheid geluiden en ritmes zijn beschikbaar en eenvoudig te bedienen.

Roland BK-3 Backing Keyboard (Black)

Na rondkijken voor een een goede Keyboard en me goed laten informeren door de klantenservice van Bax, besloten deze in huis te halen.

Een perfecte keyboard met een perfecte geluid. Ideaal voor een beginner en binnenkort voor mijn dochter die op muziekles gaat.

Bediening is heel goed.
Niet echt zwaar
Helder geluid
En veel ander mogelijkheden die ik nog moet ontdekken.

Minpunten heb ik nog niet ontdekt
