You can enjoy playing the keyboard sounds in real time while WK1 Or
automatically adds the accompaniment, as if you were playing with a band of
musicians. The automatic arrangements are provided by the WK1 Or Styles.
This chapter describes the automatic 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.
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
at Style Start.
WK1 Oriental Styles
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 WK1 Or Style features 4 Variations, 4 Intros, 2 Fills and 4 Endings.
A Style, therefore, provides a complete range of musical structures with
which you can play whatever type of music you prefer.
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 first 5 are engaged by the sequencer
for the auto accompaniments, and the remaining 3 belong to the real
time keyboard sections. The 5 accompaniment 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).
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
1. Press the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY button (the corresponding display
indicator turns on).
With the S.T.PLAY function on, the Style you select will always be
recalled from the machine ROM version (fixed) and any operation
carried out on the panel will not be stored.
The S.T.PLAY key also automatically activates the ARRANGE ON/
OFF and ARRANGE MEMORY functions (in the ARRANGER panel
section - the ARR. MEM display indicator also turns on).
2. Specify the number corresponding to the desired STYLE on the
left hand selection keypad.
WK1 Or sets automatically to Style mode.
