Style Lock and Single Touch Play
The sounds recalled by selecting Performance and Style are controlled by
the status of the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY and STYLE LOCK functions.
SINGLE TOUCH PLAY ON (SP appears above left in the display):
When a Style is selected on the left hand numeric
keypad, the following parameters are recalled: the
automatic accompaniment patterns, the more
appropriate keyboard sounds for the Style and for the
Keyboard and, if the Tempo Lock function is off, the
memorized Tempo.
SINGLE TOUCH PLAY OFF (no SP message is shown in the display):
Selecting a Style recalls the accompaniment patterns,
the Tempo and the Style sounds, while the keyboard
selection sounds remain unchanged.
STYLE LOCK ON (indicated in the display):
When a Performance is selected, the Style does not
change. Only the keyboard sounds are changed, while
the Style sounds remain unchanged.
STYLE LOCK OFF (indicated in the display):
When a Performance is selected, the Style, the
Variation, the Tempo and Effects memorized are
recalled. Moreover, the sounds both in the keyboard
section and in the accompaniment are changed.
TEMPO LOCK
It is enabled by pressing and holding down the STYLE/
TEMPO LOCK for a few seconds. The 3dgit tempo
display will show the LOC message blinking. Now the
style can be changed and the tempo will not be
affected..
To disable the function press and hold the STYLE/
TEMPO LOCK once again.
SONG STYLE MODE
Song Styles are 8-track songs created by recording the keyboard sounds
played on the 3 keyboard tracks with the automatic accompaniment 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 WK1 oriental memory.
SONG MODE
A Song is a multi-timbral 16-track performance, in which each track
represents an instrument of the orchestra or of the band. WK1 oriental
can load and playback songs in the following formats: GMX, PK7, WK3 or
MidiFile (Standard Midi File) created on other sequencers.
Up to 7 Songs can be loaded to the memory, if the locations are available.
WK1oriental can be used as a MIDI 16-part sound generator.
