Page1Introduction

INTRODUCTIONCongratulations, and thank you for purchasing wk1000 arranger keyboard. The instrument in your hand is the successful result of the combination of extraordinary sound quality, automatic accompani-ment and a surprisingly easy-to-operate user interface.

MULTIMEDIA FUNCTIONSwk1000 is an Arranger Keyboard with multimedia features that render making music real fun. With wk1000 you can sing following the lyrics both on the display and on a TV monitor (TV Karaoke).

THE OWNERS MANUALOur best advice: read the owners Manual carefully: it is the best way to learn how wk1000 operates. The Manual is divided into separate User Guides. An Appendix with tables and MIDI specifi cations is given at the end.

SPECIFICATIONS

wk1000 is 32-note polyphonic (maximum), 16-part multi-timbral in Song mode and 8-part multi-timbral in Style mode. Each part is assigned to a track. In Real Time mode, 3 tracks (maximum) are assigned to the keyboard.

wk1000 Sound Generation uses PCM e Wavetable technology. Sounds are based on processed sampled wave-forms. The keyboard’s 32 obscillators generate “single oscillator” (32-note maximum polyphony) and “dual oscillator” (16-note maximum polyphony) sounds.

wk1000 ROM memory (Read Only Memory) contains 471 Sounds including 20 Drumkits.

The back-up memory can hold Samples that can be loaded from Floppy Disk.

wk1000 features a double Digital Signal Processor that can be controlled in Real Time. Two different effects (1 Reverb and 1 Modulation/Delay) can be assigned and stored to each Performance

The on-board Sequencer allows you to record Song Styles (Real-Time recording method), to play Songs back and to play with Styles. Data saved in the sequencer is stored to the System-RAM (battery backed-up).

Playing Direct from Disk means playing a Song in WK, PK, or SMF format directly from the Floppy Disk without having to load all data to memory. This feature becomes useful when you wish to play a Song or a Midi File that exceeds the available Sequencer mermory

wk1000 features 96 ROM Styles that add automatic accompaniments to the 3 Real Time keyboard sections (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower). Each Style features 4 Variations that contain Basic, Intro, Ending and Fill patterns, totalling 40 different patterns. Up to 7 User Styles (Styles loaded from disk) can be stored to wk1000 memory.

The Disk Drive is a device used to transfer data from and to Floppy Disks. Floppy Disks can be stored to create an external library of Songs, Styles, Performances and Samples. A disk drive reads from and saves to 3,5” Floppy Disks that can respectively store up to 720 kb (2DD disks) and 1,44 Mb (2HD disks). (1,44 Mb) and (720 kb) are recognized formats to exchange Midi Files.

The lyrics of a song can be read on the wk1000 display (two lines, 24 characters each). Alternatively, the on-board video interface makes it possible to use wk1000 in Karoke mode with an external TV monitor. The interface can be adapted to the different video standards used in Europe or in the U.S. In order to read the lyrics, the “TV text” function in the MIDI/GENERAL page must be turned on, and the RGB/SCART cable supplied with the keyboard must be connected to the TV set.

The Operating System, that is, the software that controls wk1000, is stored in a Flash ROM. It can be updated by loading more powerful releases that offer more functions.

Thanks to its fully implemented MIDI features, wk1000 can become a master keyboard. Moreover wk1000 can be controlled by another master instrument and operate like a 16-part multi-timbral expander.

wk1000 can connect directly to a computer (Mac, PC o Atari) by a single serial cable. This kind of connection can be alternative to a normal MIDI connection and needs no optional MIDI interface for the computer. The speed of the information exchange can be adapted to the specifi c computer used. Serial cables can be purchased at any computer shop.

TEMPO LOCKIt is enabled by pressing and holding down the STYLE/TEMPO LOCK for a few seconds. The tempo area in the display will show the “LOC” message blinking. Now the style can be changed and the tempo will not be affected.

A Song is a multi-timbral 16-track performance, in which each track represents an instrument of the or-chestra or of the band. wk1000 can load and playback songs in the following formats: GMX, PK7, WK3 or MidiFile (Standard Midi File) created on external sequencers. Up to 7 Songs can be loaded to the memory, if the locations are available. wk1000 can be used as a MIDI 16-part sound generator.

SONG STYLE MODE

Song Styles are 8-track songs created by recording the 3 keyboard sections and the automatic accompani-ment of the Styles (5 tracks). The Style chords are recorded in the CHORD track. Song Styles are a quick method to create backing tracks for singers or solo instruments. Up to 7 Song Styles can be loaded to the wk1000 memory.

PERFORMANCES

A Performance is a combination of sounds and settings. Performances can store the current status of the panel buttons and information pertaining to the parts that make up a Performance to play in real time and with Styles. Performances memorise effect settings, the status of the controllers (pedals, Pitch/Modulation ball), the pads confi guration, the MIDI channel confi guration, the status of the tracks (On/Off), the Tempo setting and more. By selecting a Performance, all the settings memorised to the Performance are recalled in a single step. There are 63 programmable Performances available to choose from, giving you a variety of possibilities of setting the wk1000 to your liking with the least number of operations. In addition, in ROM (non-programmable) there are as many Style-Performances as there are ROM Styles, which you can recall at the touch of a button using the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY function.

Every Song loaded or played from disk is associated to a specifi c Song Performance which is automatically recalled by selecting the Song (111-117).

REALTIME PERFORMANCES

63 user-programmable Performances are arranged in 7 PERFORMANCE GROUPS. Performances recall combinations of the keyboard sounds, panel settings, Style, Variation and Tempo. Press the PERFORMANCE RECALL button to quickly access the Performances (select them with the F1/F9 buttons). Hold down the same button to activate the STORE PERFORMANCE command, which allows you to save the panel situation to the current Performance.

STYLE PERFORMANCES

96 default non-programmable Performances are associated to the ROM Styles which are permanently stored in the instrument’s Read Only Memory. The default Style Performances are recalled when Styles are selected with the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY function selected (display indicator on). Style Performances recall sounds for the accompaniments and keyboard sections.

SINGLE TOUCH PLAY SETTING

SINGLE TOUCH PLAY SETTINGS are additional Performances which are recalled by using the function but-tons F1/F9 when the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY function is active (display indicator selected). In this condition, as well as being able to select the ROM Styles using the Style / Song selection keypad, you can also recall up to 9 preset real time keyboard settings (combinations of the Upper 1, Upper 2 and Lower sounds) which depend on the current Style. The possibilities are, therefore, endless when you consider that there are 96 ROM Styles, each with 10* Single Touch Play settings (for a total of 960 preset settings!).

SONG STYLE PERFORMANCE

Song Style Performances (non-programmable) are associated to the Song Styles which are stored in ap-propriate memory locations as indicated in the Song/Style lists at the top of the instrument’s control panel. The Song Style Performances recall sounds associated to the accompaniment tracks and keyboard tracks used in the recording.

The Track is the smallest part of a Performance and each type of Performance contains a number of tracks that correspond to the playing mode to which the Performance is associated. A sound can be assigned to each track; the display always shows the sounds assigned to the realtime keyboard sections (Upper 1, Up-per 2, Lower).

TRACKS

wk1000 sounds can be: ROM sounds, Drum kit sounds, Samples.ROM Soundswk1000 contains 471 sample-based ROM Sounds (including 20 Drumkits). The Sample Ram allows you to load one or more samples in memory, to increase the sound potential of the instrument.DRUM KITSDrumkits assign a different percussive sound to each note of the keyboard. Banks 2 and 3 of the PERCUS-SIVE Sound Group contain 20 Drumkits. Bank 4 contains a special drumkit (location 112) confi gured with some extra special sounds (DrumSFX) to tickle your immagination.SAMPLESwk1000 can load samples in WK2, PK7, WK3 and CD formats. They can be loaded to the memory using the “ Load All Disk” function.

SOUNDS

It is also possible to see the sounds assigned to all the tracks of the current Performance. The Tracks are divided into two groups: 01-08 and 09-16. If the display arrowhead shows the Song function selected, the function button F9 allows you to switch from the track set 01-08 to 09-16. The Sounds assigned to the tracks are displayed as Program Change numbers. The bar graphs shown directly under the Program Change numbers represent the track Volume levels. The status (ON or OFF) of the Upper 1, Upper 2 and Lower tracks can be changed by intervening directly on the corresponding section activators (Upper 1, Up-per 2, Lower). The ON/OFF status of all the other tracks of the Performance (except the real time tracks) is changed by pressing the corresponding function buttons repeatedly (provided that the PERF function is not shown selected with the arrowhead). The ON/OFF status of the tracks is shown by the track name (e.g. ‘Drum’) which is displayed when ON or cancels when OFF.

STYLESThe wk1000 Styles automatically adds the accompaniment, as if you were playing with a band of musi-cians. The automatic arrangements are provided by the wk1000 Styles. This chapter describes the auto-matic arrangements of the Styles, how to slect them and how to store them to the Performances. The tracks contain several programmable parameters: sound, volume, pan, transpose, detune reverb, chorus, pitch bend, pedal volume and damper. The arrangement patterns cannot be changed in the ROM Styles; in the USER Style locations (96-103), it is possible to load disk-based Styles in the following formats: WK2, PK7, WK3 and CD. e at Style Start.

IMPORTANT: If the disk-based User Style contains less than 4 Variations (e.g. only 2), after loading the Styles, be sure that the Variation indicator in the display indicates either Variation 1 or 2. This is to prevent total silence.

Styles are a collection of musical patterns typical of various forms of making music, ranging from rock and pop to traditional and Latin music. Each wk1000 Style features 4 Variations, 4 Intros, 4 Fills and 4 End-ings.

wk1000 STYLES

The Styles provide automatic accompaniments that are based on the chord played on the keyboard: the accompaniment patterns change to suit the current chord. Each Style consists of 8 tracks: the fi rst 5 are engaged by the sequencer for the auto accompaniments, and the remaining 3 belong to the real time keyboard sections. The 5 accom-paniment tracks are divided as follows: track 1 Drums (drum sets), track 2 BASS, tracks 3, 4 and 5 correspond to ACC1, ACC2, ACC3 respectively (accompaniments 1, 2 and 3).

wk1000 contains 96 permanent ROM Styles in the machine memory and can store additional 8 USER Styles to load from disk in the RAM memory. The Styles are arranged in groups of 8, as shown in the Style table on the top of the instrument panel (STYLE/SONG).

SELECTING A STYLE

Enabling the S.T.PLAY function, the Style you select will always be recalled from ROM memory and any operation carried out on the panel will not be stored.

Press the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY button, the corresponding dis-play indicator turns on

The fl oppy disks provides you the possibility to create an extensive library of Sounds, Samples, Perform-ances, Styles, Songs e Song Styles, that can be loaded to wk1000 RAM at any time. This chapter is an introduction to the concepts of File, Floppy Disks and RAM memory. You will learn about the main access functions to a Disk and how to load and save Songs, Styles, Performances, Samples, MIDI Files and all the other formats that are compatible with wk1000.

DISK

wk1000 accepts 3,5” HD and DD fl oppy disks. These are the most commonly used types and can be pur-chased at any computer shops.

FLOPPY DISK RECOGNIZED FORMATS

wk1000 cannot read Songs, Styles and Samples in formats of non- Generalmusic instruments. The exclu-sive format of musical instruments adopted by a manufacturer is proprietary and not compatible with the format of instruments of other makes. To exchange Songs with other instruments it is necessary to save the Song as a MidiFile to a MS-DOS formatted disk.

wk1000 can read fi les in GMX, WK, PK, MIDI FILE, MS-DOS, Generalmusic CD series formats.

The Files Data are stored on disks in the form of fi les. Files identify Songs, Song Styles, Performances, Styles or Samples.

The types of fi le used when working with a disk are identifi ed by a name (which appears in the 8- digit dis-play area) and an extension (shown in the 3-digit display area) which specifi es the type of fi le. In fi le types that include SONGS in PK, WK, STYLES and ALL formats, the extension is not displayed. The extensions of all other recognized fi le types are listed in the paragraph explaining the LOAD functions.

FILE TYPES AND EXTENSIONS

1 LOAD Load data to RAM from a Floppy Disk

2 SAVE Saves RAM data to a Floppy Disk

3 DELETE Cancels single Files from a Floppy Disk

4 FORMAT Formatting procedure and cancellation of the contents of a Floppy Disk.

ACCESS TO DISKAny operation involving fi les can be effected using the functions given in the DISK mode pages, through the FLOPPY DISK function button.

The main functions are divided into 4 groups:

The display shows when Floppy Disk mode is active: if a Floppy Disk containing Midi-Files or Songs is inserted and the FLOPPY DISK key is pressed, DIRECT page e shown. Use the PAGE buttons, and the CURSOR to move around a page.

Press ESCAPE to exit DISK mode.

NOTE. Once the DISK has been pressed to execute a LOAD or SAVE command, as soon as the Disk Drive completes the operation the display is automatically restored to DIRECT mode, that is the fi rst page of the Disk page. Press ESCAPE to exit.

Page33the disk

MIDI means Musical Instruments Digital Interface. A Standard MIDI File (SMF) is a format created to main-tain data compatibility among different devices complying to the SMF format. This format allows Songs to be exchanged between different instruments and computers. If a Song is saved as a Midifi le on a MS-DOS disk, most computers or musical instruments will be able to load and read that Song. wk1000 reads format 0 e 1 MIDIFiles, and saves MIDI fi le in 0 format.

WHAT IS A MIDI FILE?

To further improve the compatibility between instruments of different makes, the MIDI fi le should conform to the General MIDI standard. The General MIDI standard establishes common standards for the sound listing, the Program Change numbers for sound selection, the confi guration in the Drumkits, the assign-ment of MIDI channel 10 to the drumkit track, a minimum polyphony (24) and a maximum number of tracks (16). In wk1000 the Sound Bank 1 and the Drumkit Bank 2, are fully compatible to the General MIDI standard. wk1000 recognizes a MIDI fi le in General MIDI standard by the messages it contains (General MIDI ON). In case this message is not detected, sounds different from Drumkit could be assigned to MIDI 10 channel. Per essere sicuri di caricare correttamente un MIDI fi le compatibile GM, che non contiene il “General MIDI ON”, impostare ad ON il parametro General MIDI contenuto in “Edit MIDI” . wk1000 salva MIDI fi le compatibili GM quando il parametro General MIDI è impostato ON.

GENERAL MIDI (GM)

GMX format is an extension of the General MIDI specifi cally by Generalmusic that makes the fi rst three sound banks of all WK instruments compatible with each other.

Up to 7 locations (111-117) are available in the RAM to load Songs and MidiFiles. To select a location, move the left cursor arrowhead to the SONG menu function and digit the corresponding number in the left numeric keypad.

Up to 8 locations (96-103) are available in the wk1000 RAM memory to load Styles. wk1000 can load Styles in the CD, WK3 e PK7 formats.

GMX FORMAT

LOADING SONGS AND MIDIFILES

NOTE: the Songs can also be selected by dialing the corresponding number (111-117) on the keypad, wk1000 can load songs in the CD, WK3 e PK7 formats.

LOADING STYLES

Up to 63 RAM locations are available to load Performances. The locations are divided in7 groups, each featuring 9 Performances. Use the PAGE or the + / – buttons in the numeric keypad and ensure that the arrowhead is pointing to the PERF menu function.

LOADING PERFORMANCES

The samples are loaded directly to the battery-backed Sample RAM, using the LOAD ALL Disk function. wk1000 can also load Samples from WK3 and PK7 series.

The wk1000 can also load Performances saved from the WK3 and the PK7.

LOADING SAMPLES

wk1000 Song Styles can only be loaded to the memory using the LOAD ALL Disk procedure, since this format contains fi les of different types; wk1000 only loads wk1000 Song Styles.

SAVE OPERATIONS

To save a fi le as a single element, you can either use the same name, or rename the fi le. No name is re-quested to save a Performance, a Style or an ALL format fi le.

Although the data are retained in the RAM memory even when the instrument is turned off, it is advisable to save a copy of your data to a Floppy Disk. RAM is best used as a dynamic work area and not as a data storage device.

1 As a single element (Song, Style, MidiFile)

2 As a set of fi les from a Group (AllStyles , Performances, SMP)

3 As an ALL operation, saving all the data kept in the RAM memory

wk1000 can save data in a Floppy Disk in the following ways:

SAVING MIDI FILES

If you wish that your Songs to be played by other instruments or by a computer, you have to save them as MIDI File to a MS-DOS (MidiFile format 0).

To save a General MIDI (GM) compatible MIDI File set the General MIDI parameter to ON (refer to the “MIDI/GENERAL” section of the Owners Manual). The Performance parameters in all tracsk will be convert-ed into the correspondent MIDI controls (Bank select MSB e LSB, Program Change, Volume, Pan, Control change 91 and 93 for the Effects).

All wk1000 Songs saved as a MidiFile are always compatible with the GMX format. Consequently they are compatible with all instruments of the WK series which feature a Disk Drive.

If the Song contains Lyrics, it will be converted into a Lyric format event and the generated fi le will be a MidiFile with text (Karaoke).

The SONG STYLES can be saved to a Floppy Disk using the “ Save All ” procedure. In fact this type of fi le involves different sections of the instrument.

SAVING SONG STYLES

SONG STYLES cannot be saved as a Midi File.

The selected fi le has been deleted and is no longer in the Floppy Disk.

DELETE FILE

The DELETE function is used to delete a fi le from the Floppy Disk.

Get a formatted disk and insert it in the drive. If the disk is write-protected, remove the protection.

Floppy disks feature a protection tab that safeguard valuable data and prevent accidental cancellation. To remove the protection and be able to write on the disk, slide the plastic tab upwards, closing the hole. To protect the Floppy Disk so that it is not possible to erase or overwrite the contents, slide the plastic tab downwards, opening the hole. You can use a pen or a pointed object to slide the tab.

GENERAL DISK-HANDLING TIPSIf this is the fi rst time you use a Floppy Disk and do not feel comfortable about handling such delicate mag-netic aids, read this section very carefully.

INSERTING A FLOPPY DISK INTO THE DRIVEFloppy Disks are inserted in the disk drive with the lablel side up, and the metallic shutter fi rst in. Push the disk smoothly and fi rmly until it clicks into place. Hold the disk straight and avoid forcing it in while inserting.

EJECTING A FLOPPY DISKBefore ejecting a Floppy Disk, make sure that the operation led in the drive is OFF, and that wk1000 display shows no disk operation being in progress. To extract the Disk, press the eject b button utton and remove the disk.

DISK PROTECTION

1 Never open the metal protection shutter or touch the soft surface of the Floppy Disk.2 Never leave a Floppy Disk inside wk1000 disk drive when you carry the keyboard around. Vibrations may

cause the drive head to scratch the disk and make it useless.3 Never place Floppy Disks in proximity of TV sets, computer monitors, amplifi er, loudspeakers, power

transformers or other device which is a potential source of magnetic fi eld. The disk contents could be seriously damaged or lost.

4 Never leave the disks in extremely warm or cold places. Do not expose them to direct sunlight. Protect them from dust or dirt.

5 Do not place objects on top of a Floppy Disk.6 Always return a Floppy Disk in a protective case after use.

HANDLING FLOPPY DISKSFloppy Disks should be handled with great care, to prevent damage or loss of data.

It is advisable to keep a back-up copy of the more valuable Floppy Disks. The back-up copies should be stored in safe places, as they are of extreme importance in case the data contained either in the instrument or in other Floppy Disks get lost or damaged. To transfer data from a Floppy Disk to another it is necessary to go through the instrument RAM memory. The contents of the source Floppy Disk (the one containing the data you want to back-up) should be fi rst loaded to wk1000 RAM memory, then saved to the destination Floppy Disk (the one you will keep as a back-up copy)

BACK-UP COPIES

After the instrument has been used for a long period of time, the disk drive head may become dirty, and cause frequent disk load and disk save errors. To proceed to head cleaning, make sure you will use a good-quality fl uidtype head cleaning kit for 3.5” double-sided disk drive. Do not use a cleaning kit intended for old single-sided disk drives.1. Moisten the cleaning disk with the fl uid product.2. Insert the cleaning disk into the drive.3. Execute a loading procedure. An error message will appear. It mustappear, as this is perfectly normal.4. After about 10 seconds, extract the disk.WARNING!: Wait at least 5 minutes before using the drive again.

CLEANING THE DISK DRIVE HEAD

1. Never change the fi le extension, since it identifi es the type of fi le and the relative structure.

2. Never use names longer than 8 characters. Furthermore, owing to some limitations of MS-DOS and Atari systems, it is extremely important to observe the following precautions:

1. Do not insert spaces within a fi le name (e.g.: “MY FILE”). MS-DOS does not recognize fi le names containing spaces. To keep a fi le name divided into two distincted parts, you can separate the two parts with an “under-score” symbol (e.g.: “MY_FILE”).

3. Do not assign the same name to two different fi les, even though one is written all in Capitals and the other with small letters (e.g. “MYFILE” and “myfi le”). MS-DOS and Atari do not distinguish between capital and small (or uppercase and lowercase) letters.

PRECAUTIONS TO OBSERVE WHEN USING wk1000 DISKS WITH A COMPUTER

As occurs with MS-DOS operating system, wk1000 uses up to 8-character fi lenames, and a 3-char-acter extension. Macintosh, OS/2 and Windows operating systems may use longer names. When a fi le is named, or renamed on these computers, the following rules should be followed:

THE SONGS

A Song is a multitrack recording of several instrumental parts, each of them corresponding to a track. Songs can be loaded from disk in the following formats:GMX, WK, PK, CD and Standard MIDI File (SMF 0 and 1). Tracks contain “MIDI events” that correspond to as many MIDI messages. The MIDI messages can be Note, Pitch Bend, Program Change messages, and a series of Control Change messages to control the change of Sound Bank for the Sounds, the Sustain or Volume pedals, the Pan and several other values. The MIDI events recorded in the tracks are not actual sounds, but messages exchanged with wk1000 internal sound generators or with and external expander that wk1000 con-trols. A song is a series of MIDI events distributed over each track.

WHAT IS A SONG?

Each wk1000 Song is associated to a single Song Performance. When a Song is loaded or saved in MIDI File format, all values that the Song Performance contains are converted, into the correspond-ing MIDI messages (Program Change, Pan, Volume, Effects) within each track.

THE SONG PERFORMANCE

Note:When a Song is loaded to the internal memory, it will engage a location.The next song loaded will occupy the subsequent location and so on, with a cyclic course. For example, in case location 111 is already engaged, the next song loaded will engage location 112 etc.

E.g.: to select the Song from location 111, Press the “ +100 ” button and then input 1 and 7

SELECTING A SONGwk1000 can save up to 7 Songs in the SONG group of the USER section (from 111 to 117, if the memory locations are not all in use).

HOW TO SELECT A SONG

Refer to the DISK chapter for songs loading instructions (Songs or MIDI Files).

Input with the keypad the number corresponding to the desired song (111-117)

A Song Style is an 8-track Song created by recording a Style (Rom or User) with the keyboard tracks (Up-per 1, Upper 2, Lower). Song Styles capture the chords that trigger the Style accompaniment patterns on a “Chords track” and you can choose to record one or more keyboard tracks according to your require-ments. During the recording, you can exploit the Intro, Fill and Ending patterns and change Style at will. In practice, what you normally do in real time with a Style is captured by the sequencer in Song Style Record mode to create a Song Style.

SONG STYLES

Up to 8 tracks are engaged by the Sequencer to record a Song Style: 5 associated to the accompaniment patterns (Drum, Bass, Acc3, Acc2, Acc1) and 3 to the keyboard tracks (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower). Only Song Styles in wk1000 format only can be loaded to the RAM using the “Load All Disk”. Song Styles are similar to Songs in several of their aspects, except that they do not contain a Lyrics track.

Each Song Style is associated to a single Song Style Performance which contains all the parameters and set-tings for a Song Style. This simplifi es Song Style recording, because all the information necessary to record and playback are housed in the Song Style Performance without having to set parameters while recording. When you record a Song Style, it is best to programme the associated Song Style Performance beforehand. A Song Style cannot be saved as a MIDI fi le, only as an ALL data package.

SONG STYLE PERFORMANCE

Refer to the DISK chapter for explanations regarding how to load Song Styles to wk1000 memory from disk, then proceed as follows:

SONG STYLE SELECTION

wk1000 can store up to 7 Song Styles in the locations numbered from 104 to 110 in the USER section.

SELECTING A SONG STYLE

N.B. Pressing the START/STOP button starts the last selected Style, while the PLAY/STOP button starts the last selected Song, or has no effect is the relative location is empty

Make sure that one or more Song Styles are loaded. Then digit the number corresponding to the desired Song Style on the left hand selection keypad

1

Use the PLAY/STOP key to start the SONG STYLE2

Press the STOP key to stop the SONG STYLE at any time3

The left display arrowhead moves automatically next to the SONG menu function.

In almost all cases, the Song Styles will have all tracks engaged by the sequencer. You can check this at a glance by looking at the status of the tracks in the display. If they are all on, this means that they are all used by the sequencer.

PLAY A SONG STYLE IN REAL TIME

If one or more tracks are OFF, this indicates that they are not engaged by the sequencer. If you want to play along with the Song Style during playback with one of the keyboard tracks, you can either:• A) deactivate one of the Real Time tracks used by the Sequencer.• B) engage one of the Real Time tracks not used by the Song Style.

N.B. The accompaniment tracks can only be disabled. Refer to the “SONG” chapter for the instructions referred to the above operations. When a Song Style is in Play mode, access is possible to UPPER1, UP-PER2 and LOWER sections with the relative keys and with the F7, F8, F9 function keys.

RECORDING A SONG STYLE

Styles offer an excellent means of preparing backings for a soloist. For example, you can record two key-board tracks (Upper 2 & Lower) with accompaniments, then use Upper 1 to play the melody in real time with the Song Style in playback Song Styles record all panel interventions made while recording: changes of Style, use of the Intro, Fills, Endings, Fade In/Out, activation/deactivation of the effects, Harmony On/Off and more. The events generated by the panel interventions are recorded in the COMMON track. COM-MON and CHORDS tracks activate automatically when you enter SONG STYLE RECORD mode. Before recording a Song Style, it is advisable to completely clear the sequencer memory in order to use the total RAM capacity and avoid undesired parts when saving a Song Style. In fact, the Song Style is saved as an ALL data set, therefore, whatever is contained in RAM will also form part of the Song Style.

To clear all data from the Sequencer, move with the CURSOR key to MIDI/GENERAL mode. Use the PAGE keys until the message “InitALL” appears in the display. You can now rotate the dial to choose whether to clear all the instrument (ALL), the Sequencer (SEQ), the Sample memory (SMP) or the Performances (PFM); select the “InitSEQ” option (if you select “InitALL” Performances and Samples will be erased), then press ENTER twice: wk1000 is now ready to record Song Styles.

While you play, wk1000 records the panel status and all the operations that you carry out. The CHORD track is automatically activated only if empty. The keyboard tracks are recorded only if their relative indica-tors are shown on in the display. You can decide whether to start with a free Intro, with no Style, or with an automatic accompaniment straightaway.

ENTER THE SONG STYLE RECORDING MODE

Press the RECORD button, the fi rst SONG STYLE free location is made available.

Press PLAY/STOP, to start the recording.

THE USER STYLESwk1000 sequencer memory can store up to 7 programmable User Styles (96/03) which can either be loaded from disk or programmed by the user. An extensive User Style library, available on Generalmusic Floppy Disks, offers a large selection of User Styles to choose from. Styles can be created according to two methods. The easier of the two consists in modifying existing Styles. The second method, which may be more complex but is sure more interesting, is programming Styles from scratch, creating every single part of the Style (Drums, Bass, Acc.1, Acc.2, Acc.3, Variation, Intro, Fill e Ending). Use the MODE, COPY, CLEAR, and QUANTIZE to program a Style (these keys are more frequently used in Style Playback mode, as Fills, Tap Tempo and Fade functions). Follow the steps below to program your own Style.

RECORDING A USER STYLE

A SETTING THE USER STYLE PARAMETERS

The available options to record a new Style are described in the following example.

SELECT AN EMPTY USER STYLE LOCATION

wk1000 sets to User Style recording mode. The Drums track (U01:DRM:Maj>) is ready to record the “Major” RIFF. The relative Program Change number in the Drums track starts blinking in the display. If you play on the connected keyboard, you will hear a drum sound with each note you play.

Press the STYLE button (the led in the numeric keypad lights up)1

Select any of the USER STYLE locations (96-103)2

Location 96 is selected in this example. The display will show the selected location number (“User01”). The number changes with each Style selected (01=96, 02=97, etc.).

Press and hold the RECORD button in the Sequencer section for at least 2 seconds to switch to Record mode

3

It is important to be familiar with the basic structure of a Style. A Styles provide automatic accompaniments based on the chords. Major, minor and 7th chords generate three very different types of accompaniment.Each accompaniment generated by Major, minor or 7th chords, is divided into four Variations. Each Varia-tion is divided into various parts: Basic, Intro, Fill, Ending, which compose the basic structure of each Style, in 40 short patterns, or the RIFF.

THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF A STYLE RIFF

A RIFF is a music pattern that plays cyclically. When you play with Styles you will hear brief patterns that repeat themselves. A “basic” RIFF is the main part of a Style, repeatedly played until it is stopped, or until it is interrupted by Fill, a Intro or an Ending. The length of a RIFF is variable between 1 measure (MIN) and 16 measures (MAX).

Beware: The notes played during the count in will be not recorded. The measure counter is active in the display and the events occurring are shown. “00” measure indicates the empty beat.

Once the end of the RIFF is reached, the recording starts again from the fi rst beat and all the notes already recorded are played back. This feature is particularly useful recording the Drums track, since it is possible to add a new instrument every time the loop restarts.

Remember: simple Variations lead to the best results. A simple Variation can be enhanced and enriched by adding new tracks. For example, you can record Major Variation 1 on three tracks only (Drums, Bass, Acc1) and with simple patterns. Record Variation 2 setting Major e Minor in the same tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc1), but adding small differences. Variation 4 can be recorded on 4 tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc1, Acc2) and further changes to its patterns. Variation 4 could feature Major, Minor and 7th chords on all of the fi ve tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc1, Acc2, Acc3) and more complex RIFFS.

NOTE: Each Variation may only contain a Fill pattern.

It is NOT possible to recall a Style User Performance with the PERFORMANCE RECALL button, as it happens with Performances in RealTime, Song/Style and Song modes. Each User Style is associated to a single User Style Performance which is stored in the current Style User location only and not in other locations.

HOW TO PROGRAM A USER STYLE PERFORMANCE

A User Style Performance can be programmed in Style User Record mode only. Follow the instructions given in the Performance chapter to modify the sounds and the values of the tracks. Make sure that the track name appears above the Program change number (press the corresponding Function key twice). Once you have programmed the User Style Performance, press and hold the PERF STORE key for one second. Press ENTER to confi rm. The modifi cations are directly stored in the User Style location. Follow the recording procedure as described.

TO ASSIGN A NAME TO A USER STYLEA proper name can be assigned to each USER style

IMPORTANT: enter the RECORD MODE to assign a name to the Style. Press the PAGE button to select the Performance Name page.

1 Select a USER STYLE and press the REC button to switch to RECORD MODE

4 Press and hold the PERF STORE button. Press ENTER to confi rm

The USER STYLE name is now saved.

You may decide to change a Sound during the recording. In that case the Sequencer will record the cor-responding Program Change number to the relative track. When playing the Style back , the track (or the tracks) containing the Sound that has been changed, will play the fi rst cycle of the Riff with the original Sound and will change to the second Sound exactly as recorded, that is, the second Sound will be included from the second cycle and all the subsequent ones. It will not be possible therefore to listen to the original sound, unless the Style is stopped and restarted. To avoid this condition, it is advisable to record a Program Change to the original Sound again, just before the end of the fi rst cycle of the Riff. In this way, all the suc-cessive cycles of the Riff will start with the fi rst Sound selected. The best results are obtained when modify-ing Riffs that are 4 bars long or more.

All controls generated by hardware devices (Pitch bend, Modulation), or by the optional pedals connected to wk1000 rear-panel sockets can be recorded to the relative track. To record Volume section messages, use the optional Volume Pedal, that can be programmed in the Volume section in the General Menu.

THE MIDI

The COMPUTER port acts as a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT port together for communication between wk1000 to a computer using a single serial cable. Using the computer port disables the MIDI ports. If your computer can direct MIDI data to the serial port (identifi ed as RS232 in IBM computers and compatibles, or as MODEM in Apple Macintosh computers), the two MIDI cables can be replaced by a single serial cable. Connecting wk1000 through its COMPUTER port enables control of the 16 MIDI channels (as occurs in a standard MIDI interface).

Using MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface it is possible to: • To use the wk1000 as a master keyboard to control another musical instrument • To connect the wk1000 to an external sequencer (computer) to programm Songs and Styles • To control the wk1000 as a slave instrument from a master keyboard, or from another control device (guitar controller, wind controller, drum pads, etc.).

The Computer Port

Tracks and MIDI channels The wk1000 always receives MIDI data on the 16 channels simultaneously. In transmission, wk1000 sends MIDI data on 16 channels only in Song mode. You can assign any MIDI channel (from 1 to 16) to each track. A track can also be excluded from MIDI, if you turn it to OFF.

• In MIDI connections, the instruments that controls another is conventionally defi ned as [MASTER], while the controlled instrument is defi ned [SLAVE].• The MIDI OUT of the master instrument is connected to the MIDI IN of the slave instrument.• To program Songs in an external sequencer, wk1000 MIDI OUT is connected to the MIDI IN of the sequencer, the sequencer MIDI OUT is connected to the wk1000 MIDI IN.• Do not connect the two MIDI ports of the same instrument. Do not connect the same MIDI ports (both IN or both OUT) between two instruments. • In the connections with external MIDI devices, the tracks of the external device and wk1000 must be tuned to the same MIDI channels.

Rules for MIDI connection

The main uses of the Common and the Chord Channel are: • To control the entire wk1000 keyboard with a Master keyboard. The master keyboard must transmit on the same channel as wk1000 Common or Chord Channels. • To reserve a special track either in a sequencer or in another MIDI instrument for the selection and control of Styles, Performances, Songs, panel functions etc. In the external sequencer, a track is reserved for the control data transmitted on the same MIDI channel assigned to wk1000 common or chord channel. To have access to COMMON and CHORD channels, refer to the [PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS] chapter.

Assign MIDI channels

The MIDI channel setting of each Performance can be fully programmed and can be stored with the STORE PERFORMANCE function. The procedure to follow when assigning MIDI channels is explained in detail in the “MIDI/GENERAL” chapter of the Owner’s Manual. MIDI channels can be independently programmed for each track.

MIDI Lock

If you enable the MIDI LOCK function setting it to ON (see .MIDI/GENERAL.) the current setting of a Performance will be maintained for all other Performances. All other settings assigned to the other Performances will be ignored. To keep the last programmed setting stored to the instrument memory even when wk1000 is turned off, it is necessary to save the fi rst Performance with the Store Performance function. wk1000 will automatically set to that Performance this upon powering up.

Common and Chord Channels

Use this function to assign the MIDI channel to Common. The channel assigned to Common is no longer available to receive notes from an external device. Program and Control Change received on Common select Styles, Songs, Song Styles, Effects and other functions described in the “Appendix” at the end of the Owner’s Manuals MIDI channel assigned to Common can only receive data, as transmission on Common is disabled. Press and hold the STORE PERFORMANCE key, then press ENTER to store the current MIDI setting to the Performance.

Set wk1000 to operate in Real Time mode and play at least three sounds at the same time (Upper 1, Upper 2 and Lower keyboard sections). In Song Mode only one track is made available for Real Time operation. In the Real Time mode setup, the MIDI messages generated by wk1000 keyboard, travel from wk1000 MIDI OUT port to the expander MIDI IN. If you have set both instruments to the same MIDI channels, when you play on wk1000 keyboard, you will hear the sound coming from both the keyboard and the expander. If you wish to exclude the sounds generated by wk1000 and only hear those coming from the expander, you can either set wk1000 track volume values to Zero, or set wk1000 tracks to [LOCAL OFF] (as explained in the MIDI/GENERAL Chapter ). If you save a Performance with zero volume on the tracks you can listen to the expander only. Using the [LOCAL ON/OFF] parameters and setting the tracks corresponding to the keyboard sections (F7/F9) to [OFF] , you can disconnect the keyboard from wk1000 internal sound generator. The data transmitted from the keyboard will only be sent to MIDI OUT, and you will only hear the expander sound.

If you prefer to use a computer software sequencer to record your Songs in order to exploit some of the advanced editing functions, proceed with the following general instructions. The idea is to use the wk1000 to generate the MIDI messages to send to the computer sequencer.

USING A COMPUTER (OR EXTERNAL SEQUENCER)

In this setup (Song mode) and with the correctly assigned MIDI channels, the MIDI messages generated by the wk1000 keyboard are sent from the wk1000 MIDI OUT, received by the MIDI IN of the computer MIDI interface and recorded by the sequencer. When you launch the Play command in the sequencer, the MIDI messages are sent via the computer’s MIDI OUT port and received at the wk1000 MIDI IN. Via MIDI, you can send messages from the computer and perform all the operations that you would normally carry out on the wk1000 control panel. You can change sounds, set volumes and pan levels, select and control the effects, etc. When you send messages to wk1000 to select Sounds, the Sound selection message must be received on the MIDI channel assigned to the track to which the Sound is assigned. wk1000. To select wk1000 Sounds, fi rst send a Control Change 00 message (Bank Select) followed by a Program Change (PC) message. The Sound table, with corresponding MIDI selection messages is listed in the Appendix. To use the described setting, it is advisable to set the track used to send data to the computer sequencer to [LOCAL OFF]. Set the computer sequencer to retransmit all the MIDI messages received to wk1000. Depending on the software used, this retransmitting function is identifi ed by different designations: ECHO, ECHO ON, ECHO BACK., PATCH THRU, SOFT THRU, MIDI THRU, etc. By setting the track used to send data to the computer sequencer to [LOCAL OFF] , playing on the keyboard will produce no sound. Nevertheless, data are transmitted to the sequencer via MIDI. The sequencer echoing function retransmit the same MIDI received data directly to wk1000 sound generator. Consequently, you can hear the sounds coming again from wk1000 keyboard. If you do not set the track to [LOCAL OFF], when the [ECHO] function is active on the computer, you will hear a double note sound with each note played: the fi rst note is generated by the internal (LOCAL) connection between the keyboard and the sound generator, the second is generated by the external MIDI connection from the keyboard to the sequencer, back to the sound generator.

•Connect the wk1000 MIDI OUT port to the sequencer’s MIDI IN port•Connect the Sequencer MIDI OUT port to the wk1000 MIDI IN port

The Computer Port is an alternative to the MIDI connections just described, you can use the COMPUTER port and a single serial cable. The COMPUTER port disables the MIDI port.

THE COMPUTER PORT

Macintosh (o compatibles) communicate at the speed of 1 MHz. Read the computer Software manual for reference.Use a standard serial cable of the DB8 type to connect wk1000 to the MacIntosh MODEM port. Set the COMPUTER parameters to MAC in [MIDI/GENERAL].

•Apple Macintosh

IBM PC (or compatibles) may communicate at the speed of 31250 baud (PC1) or 38400 baud (PC2). Use standard serial cables of the DB8-DB9, DB8-DB25 types connect wk1000 to the PC serial port. Set the COMPUTER parameters to PC1 or PC2 in MIDI/GENERAL.

The Master keyboards are usually mute instruments which do not feature a sound generator. They require an external sound source to produce sounds. wk1000 internal sound generator may operate as an external sound source (Slave). The Master keyboard must transmit on the MIDI channel that is assigned to Common in wk1000. All Bank Select (CC00) and Program Change (PC) messages which are normally used to select wk1000, if transmitted on the Common Channel are now interpreted as messages to exchange Performances, Styles, Song Styles or Songs.

CONTROLLING THE KEYBOARD WITH A MASTER KEYBOARD

To select a Style from a master keyboard or computer, you must send two Control Change messages relating to BankSelect (CC 0 - 32) and (CC 32 - 0) followed by a Program Change (PC), with the values shown in the following table.
