WHAT IS A SONG?
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 WK1 Or internal sound generators or with
and external expander that WK1 Or , controls. A song is a series of MIDI
events distributed over each track.
THE SONG PERFORMANCE
Each WK1 Or 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 corresponding MIDI
messages (Program Change, Pan, Volume, Effects) within each track.
Selecting a Song
WK1 Or 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).

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. When the
7 locations available have all been engaged,
the cycle will start again and the next song
loaded will engage location 111, replacing the
