• 8 Song Styles
A Song Style is an 8-track Song created by recording a Style (Rom or
User) with the keyboard tracks (Upper 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 requirements. 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.
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 WK1 Oriental 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.
SONG STYLE PERFORMANCE
Each Song Style is associated to a single Song Style Performance
which contains all the parameters and settings for a Song Style. This
simplifies 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 Perfor-
mance beforehand.
A Song Style cannot be saved as a MIDI file, only as an “ALL” data
package.
Song Style selection
WK1 Or can store up to 7 Song Styles in the locations numbered from
104 to 110 in the USER section.
