WK2000 SE can store up to 7 Song Styles in the locations numbered from 104 to 110 in the USER section.

Refer to the DISK chapter for explanations regarding how to load Song Styles to WK2000 SE memory from disk,

then proceed as follows.

Load ﬁ rst in memory some Song Styles. Digit the number of the desired Song

Style on the left hand selection keypad The left display arrowhead moves

automatically next to the SONG menu function

Use the PLAY/STOP button to start the Song Style

Press the STOP button to stop the Song Style at any time

Note: 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

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.

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:

Disable one of the Real Time tracks used by the Sequencer

Enable one of the Real Time tracks not used by the Song Style

Note:

The accompaniment tracks can only be deactivated. 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, UPPER2 and LOWER sections with the relative keys and

with the F7, F8, F9 function keys.

Song Styles offer an excellent means of preparing backings for a soloist. For example, you can record two keyboard

tracks (Upper 2 & Lower) with accompaniments, then use Upper 1 to play the melody in real time with the Song Style in

playback. Song Styles record all panel interventions made during the recording: changes of Style, use of the Intro, Fills,

Endings, Fade In/Out, activation/deactivation of the effects, Harmony On/ Off and more. The events generated by the

panel interventions are recorded in the COMMON track. The COMMON and CHORDS tracks activate automatically

entering the Song Style Record mode. Before recording a Song Style, it is convenient to completely erase the sequencer

memory in order to exploit the total RAM capacity but more importantly, to be able to save the Song Style without

unwanted elements. As the Song Style is saved as an [ALL] data set, therefore, whatever is contained in RAM will also

form part of the Song Style; better, therefore, if the Song Style is recorded with a clean, empty RAM to start with. To

clear the RAM of all the contents, refer to the CLEAR function towards the end of this chapter. Use the Clear option

.InitSEQ. (This will retain all your Performances and Samples).

Entering the Song Style record mode

Press the RECORD button: the ﬁ rst free Song Style location is automatically

set up for the recording.

Pressing now PLAY/STOP the sequencer starts to record and allows you

to record the real time tracks without the accompaniment.

While you're playing the WK2000 SE records the panel situation and all the operations that you carry out. The

CHORD track is automatically activated only if empty. The keyboard tracks are recorded only if their relative

indicators are shown on in the display. You can decide to start without or with the auto accompaniment.

It is possible to assign a new name to your Song Style in RECORD mode.
