Using MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface it is possible to:
•
To use the WK2000 SE as a master keyboard to control another musical instrument
•
To connect the WK2000 SE to an external sequencer (computer) to program Songs and Styles
•
To control the WK2000 SE as a slave instrument from a master keyboard, or from another control device
(guitar controller, wind controller, drum pads, etc.).
The Computer Port
The COMPUTER port acts as a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT port together for communication between WK2000 SE to a computer
using a single serial cable. Using the computer port disables the MIDI ports. If your computer can direct MIDI data to the
serial port (identifi ed as RS232 in IBM computers and compatibles, or as MODEM in Apple Macintosh computers), the two
MIDI cables can be replaced by a single serial cable. Connecting WK2000 SE through its COMPUTER port enables control
of the 16 MIDI channels (as occurs in a standard MIDI interface).
Tracks and MIDI channels
WK2000 SE always receives MIDI data on the 16 channels simultaneously. In transmission, WK2000 SE sends MIDI data
on 16 channels only in Song mode. You can assign any MIDI channel (from 1 to 16) to each track. A track can also be
excluded from MIDI, if you turn it to OFF.

Rules for MIDI connection
•
In MIDI connections, the instruments that controls another is conventionally defi ned as [MASTER], while the controlled
instrument is defi ned [SLAVE].
•
The MIDI OUT of the master instrument is connected to the MIDI IN of the slave instrument.
•
To program Songs in an external sequencer, WK2000 SE MIDI OUT is connected to the MIDI IN of the
sequencer, the sequencer MIDI OUT is connected to the WK2000 SE MIDI IN.
•
Do not connect the two MIDI ports of the same instrument. Do not connect the same MIDI ports (both IN or both
OUT) between two instruments.
•
In the connections with external MIDI devices, the tracks of the external device and WK2000 SE must be
tuned to the same MIDI channels.
Assign MIDI channels
The MIDI channel setting of each Performance can be fully programmed and can be stored with the STORE PERFOR-
MANCE function. The procedure to follow when assigning MIDI channels is explained in detail in the "MIDI/GENERAL"
chapter of the Owner's Manual. MIDI channels can be independently programmed for each track.
MIDI Lock
If you enable the MIDI LOCK function setting it to ON (see .MIDI/GENERAL.), the current setting of a Performance will be
maintained for all other Performances. All other settings assigned to the other Performances will be ignored. To keep the
last programmed setting stored to the instrument memory even when WK2000 SE is turned off, it is necessary to save the
fi rst Performance with the Store Performance function. WK2000 SE will automatically set to that Performance this upon
powering up.
Common and Chord Channels
The main uses of the Common and the Chord Channel are:
• To control the entire WK2000 SE keyboard with a Master keyboard. The master keyboard must transmit on the
same channel as WK2000 SE Common or Chord Channels.
• To reserve a special track either in a sequencer or in another MIDI instrument for the selection and control of
Styles, Performances, Songs, panel functions etc. In the external sequencer, a track is reserved for the control
data transmitted on the same MIDI channel assigned to WK2000 SE common or chord channel.
To have access to COMMON and CHORD channels, refer to the [PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS] chapter.
Common Channels
Use this function to assign the MIDI channel to Common. The channel assigned to Common is no longer available to
receive notes from an external device. Program and Control Change received on Common select Styles, Songs, Song
Styles, Effects and other functions described in the "Appendix" at the end of the Owner's Manuals MIDI channel as-
signed to Common can only receive data, as transmission on Common is disabled. Press and hold the STORE PERFOR-
MANCE key, then press ENTER to store the current MIDI setting to the Performance.
