RULES FOR MIDI CONNECTION
• In MIDI connections, the instruments that controls another is conventionally
defined as “master”, while the controlled instrument is defined “slave”.
• The MIDI OUT of the master instrument is connected to the MIDI IN of the slave
instrument.
• To programme Songs in an external sequencer, WK1 Or MIDI OUT is connected
to the MIDI IN of the sequencer; the MIDI OUT of the sequencer is connected to
the WK1Or MIDI IN.
• Do not connect the two MIDI ports of the same instrument. Do not connect the
same MIDI ports (both IN or both OUT) between two instruments.
• In the connections with external MIDI devices, the tracks of the external device
and WK1 Ormust be tuned to the same MIDI channels.
ASSIGNING MIDI CHANNELS
The MIDI channel setting of each Performance can be freely programmed and can
be stored with the STORE PERFORMANCE function.
The procedure to follow when assigning MIDI channels is explained in detail in the
“MIDI/GENERAL” chapter of the Owner’s Manual.
MIDI channels can be independently programmed for each track.
MIDI LOCK
If you enable the MIDI LOCK function setting it to ON (see “MIDI/GENERAL”) the
current setting of a Performance will be maintained for all other Performances. All
other settings assigned to the other Performances will be ignored.
To keep the last programmed setting stored to the instrument memory even when
WK1 Or is turned off, it is necessary to save the first Performance with the Store
Performance function. WK1 Orwill automatically set to that Performance this upon
powering up.
COMMON AND CHORD CHANNELS
The main uses of the Common and the Chord Channel are:
• simulating the entire WK1Or keyboard with a Master keyboard. The master
keyboard must transmit on the same channel as WK1 OrCommon or Chord
Channels.
• reserving a special track either in the sequencer or in another instrument for the
selection and control of Styles, Performances, Songs, panel functions etc. In the
external sequencer, a track is reserved for the control data transmitted on the
same MIDI channel assigned to WK1 Or common or chord channel.
To have access to COMMON and CHORD channels, refer to the “PRELIMINARY
OPERATIONS” chapter.
COMMON CHANNEL
Use this function to assign the MIDI channel to Common. The channel
assigned to Common is no longer available to receive notes from an external
device. Program and Control Change received on Common select Styles,
Songs, Song Styles, Effects and other functions described in the “Appendix” at
the end of the Owner’s Manual. The MIDI channel assigned to Common can
only receive data, as transmission on Common is disabled. Press and hold the
STORE PERFORMANCE key, then press ENTER to store the current MIDI
setting to the Performance.
