16 Owner’s Manual
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 configuration, the MIDI channel configuration, 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 vari-
ety of possibilities of setting the WK1 oriental 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.
Real Time Performance
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 Performance
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
Single Touch Play settings are additional Performances which are recalled by using the function
buttons 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 appropriate 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.
Song Performance
Every Song loaded or played from disk is associated to a specific Song Performance which is
automatically recalled by selecting the Song (111-117).
Can Performances be used via MIDI?
Every Song loaded or played from disk is associated to a specific Song Performance which is
automatically recalled by selecting the Song (111-117).
Performances are a source of 16 Sounds via MIDI, regardless of the status of the instrument.
It is possible to modify the 16 Performance tracks using the Page buttons to the left of the display, but
only when the arrowhead does not show the Perf function selected. If you are playing in real time or
with the Styles, the configuration of tracks 10-16 does not influence either playing mode (track 9 is
used by the Pads). On the other hand, if you are programming WK1oriental to use it as a multi-
timbral slave device, all 16 tracks are considered.
