Song Style Performance; Selecting A Song Style - GEM WK1 Owner's Manual

• 7 Song Styles
A Song Style is an 8-track Song created by recording a Style (Rom or User)
with the keyboard tracks (Upper 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 requirements. 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.
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 WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1 format only can be loaded to the RAM using the WK1
"Load All Disk".
Song Styles are similar to Songs in several of their aspects, except that
they do not contain a Lyrics track.

SONG STYLE PERFORMANCE

Each Song Style is associated to a single Song Style Performance which
contains all the parameters and settings for a Song Style. This simplifies
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 file, only as an "ALL" data package.
Song Style selection
WK1 can store up to 7 Song Styles in the locations numbered from 104 to WK1 WK1 WK1 WK1
110 in the USER section.
