STYLES
The wk1000 Styles automatically adds the accompaniment, as if you were playing with a band of musi-
cians. The automatic arrangements are provided by the wk1000 Styles. This chapter describes the auto-
matic 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. e at Style Start.
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.
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 wk1000 Style features 4 Variations, 4 Intros, 4 Fills and 4 End-
ings.
wk1000 STYLES
The 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 fi rst 5 are
engaged by the sequencer for the auto accompaniments, and the
remaining 3 belong to the real time keyboard sections. The 5 accom-
paniment 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).
wk1000 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).
