Connections

This section gives a brief explaination of the rear panel sockets and of the
the types of connection possible for your WK1

POWER

Connects WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 to a mains socket through the provided AC/DC power supply
adapter.
AUX/OUTPUTS
The rear-panel Stereo output jacks allows the WK1 to be connected to
an external amplification system (keyboard amplifier, domestic ste-
reo system, mixing console, etc.). The signal is processed by the
instrument's internal digital effects processor.
For stereo reproduction, connect two jack cables to the AUXOUT. To
exclude the instrument's internal amplification and use the audio
outputs only, insert a jack into the headphones socket. Connecting
the AUXOUTjacks to external amplification equipment does not
exclude the internal speakers.

MIDI

WK1 is fitted with a standard MIDI interface consisting of a MIDI IN
and a MIDI OUT port for MIDI connections. Detailed information
regarding MIDI applications are found in the dedicated chapter further
ahead.
Below follow brief instructions on the principal MIDI connections
possible.
• WK1 controlling another instrument.
Connect the WK1 MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of the other instrument.
• WK1 controlled by a master keyboard.
Connect the WK1 MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT of the master keyboard.
If you wish the master keyboard to simulate WK1 fully, set it to
transmit on the same channel as the WK1 Common Channel, setting
all other channels to off.
• Recording Songs on a computer or external sequencer.
Connect the WK1 MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT of the external device, the
WK1 MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of the external device. In MIDI/GENERAL
mode scroll with the PAGE keys to the page where LOCAL is shown.
Enable "Local OFF" function in the UPPER 1 keyboard section, but do
not disable the track. In this way the keyboard is separated from the
sound generation and WK1 sends keyboard data to its own internal
sound engine via the computer/sequencer.
