A Set-it-and-go Backing Band in a Box!

Playing solo doesn't mean you can't have a complete rock-star experience - here's a perfect way to play with the sound of a full band and still take the stage alone. The Roland BK-7m packs the sound of a full backing band in a box the size of a book. Load up the BK-7m with audio backing tracks, or fire up your own SMF files and let the full-fledged sound module carry your tunes in all its orchestrated glory. What's really cool about the BK-7m is that you can mute parts of your SMFs as they play back and even plug in a MIDI keyboard and play right on top of the playback. Need lyrics to keep you on track? Video output lets the BK-7m project your lyrics on any standard TV. You can even record your entire performance in CD-quality stereo sound. Once you gig out with a Roland BK-7m, you'll wonder how you ever got by before! Roland BK-7m Synthesizer Module and Music Player Features at a Glance:
