A Song Style is an 8-track Song created by recording a Style (Rom or User) with the keyboard tracks (Up-
per 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 require-
ments. 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.

SONG STYLES

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 wk1000 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.

Each Song Style is associated to a single Song Style Performance which contains all the parameters and set-
tings for a Song Style. This simplifi es 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 Performance beforehand.
A Song Style cannot be saved as a MIDI fi le, only as an ALL data package.

SONG STYLE PERFORMANCE

Refer to the DISK chapter for explanations regarding how to load Song Styles to wk1000 memory from disk,
then proceed as follows:

SONG STYLE SELECTION

wk1000 can store up to 7 Song Styles in the locations numbered from 104 to 110 in the USER section.

SELECTING A SONG STYLE

N.B. Pressing the START/STOP button starts the last selected Style, while
the PLAY/STOP button starts the last selected Song, or has no effect is the
relative location is empty

Make sure that one or more Song Styles are loaded. Then digit the number
corresponding to the desired Song Style on the left hand selection keypad

1

Use the PLAY/STOP key to start the SONG STYLE

2

Press the STOP key to stop the SONG STYLE at any time

3

The left display arrowhead moves automatically next to the SONG menu
function.

In almost all cases, the Song Styles will have all tracks engaged by the sequencer. You can check this at a
glance by looking at the status of the tracks in the display. If they are all on, this means that they are all
used by the sequencer.

PLAY A SONG STYLE IN REAL TIME

If one or more tracks are OFF, this indicates that they are not engaged by the sequencer. If you want to play
along with the Song Style during playback with one of the keyboard tracks, you can either:
• A) deactivate one of the Real Time tracks used by the Sequencer.
• B) engage one of the Real Time tracks not used by the Song Style.

N.B. The accompaniment tracks can only be disabled. Refer to the “SONG” chapter for the instructions
referred to the above operations. When a Song Style is in Play mode, access is possible to UPPER1, UP-
PER2 and LOWER sections with the relative keys and with the F7, F8, F9 function keys.
