THE SONGS
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 wk1000 internal sound generators or with and external expander that wk1000 con-
trols. A song is a series of MIDI events distributed over each track.
WHAT IS A SONG?
Each wk1000 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 correspond-
ing MIDI messages (Program Change, Pan, Volume, Effects) within each track.
THE SONG PERFORMANCE
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.
E.g.: to select the Song from location 111, Press the “ +100 ” button and then input
1 and 7
