SAVING MIDI FILES
If you wish that your Songs to be played by other instruments or by a computer, you have to save them as
MIDI File to a MS-DOS (MidiFile format 0).
To save a General MIDI (GM) compatible MIDI File set the General MIDI parameter to ON (refer to the
“MIDI/GENERAL” section of the Owners Manual). The Performance parameters in all tracsk will be convert-
ed into the correspondent MIDI controls (Bank select MSB e LSB, Program Change, Volume, Pan, Control
change 91 and 93 for the Effects).
All wk1000 Songs saved as a MidiFile are always compatible with the GMX format. Consequently they are
compatible with all instruments of the WK series which feature a Disk Drive.
If the Song contains Lyrics, it will be converted into a Lyric format event and the generated fi le will be a
MidiFile with text (Karaoke).
The SONG STYLES can be saved to a Floppy Disk using the “ Save All ” procedure. In fact this type of fi le
involves different sections of the instrument.

FORMATTING A FLOPPY DISK
wk1000 will not read data from a Floppy Disk which is not in a recognized format. Using a disk in a non-

new one. Two formatting procedures are possible.
FORMAT 720 KB
This procedure formats a 3.5” DD Floppy Disk in MS-DOS/Atari ST formats (capacity:720 kilobytes).
FORMAT 1,44 MB
This procedure formats a 3.5” HD Floppy Disk for wk1000 use with 1,44 MB capacity. Such format is fully
compatible with MS-DOS and allows the exchange of fi les between instruments of the WK and PK series and
