DESCRIPTION
INT. STYLES
The rhythm unit of the WS uses 5 groups of digitally
:
sampled sounds. 64 dynamic percussive instruments, are used to create
the 32 different INTERNAL STYLES. The INTERNAL STYLES occupy
a part of the internal memory from MIDI location 96 (Bossa) to MIDI
location 127 (Country), and are normally made up of 4 polyphonic
sections (A -B -C -D) + another free section (E) that can be used in 'Real
Time' when the arrangements are playing. The 5 sections are distributed

Each STYLE automatically sends 5 appropriate voices to the relative
sections (A, B, C, D, E), which can be substituted with any of the 128
voices available. A GLOBAL PRESET corresponds to each STYLE
which also recalls the voices for the sections left free, if the FULL
GLOBAL function is activated (see SEQ. CONTROLS). Each STYLE is
made up of 6 PATTERNS: INTRO - FILL - END - MAJOR - MINOR - 7th.
STYLES / SPLIT: The SPLIT point on the keyboard, when the INTER-
NAL STYLES are used, is positioned at B
changed to any other point on the keyboard as far as the STYLES are
concerned (this split is common for all 32 STYLES).
CHORD RECOGNITION:
automatic accompaniments based on the recognition of the chords
played. In effect, playing one note will produce a MAJOR chord. All the
other chords will be recognized by playing two or more notes. The
recognized chord will be used as a basis of a musical arrangement
suitable for the selected rhythm. The recognized chords are as follows:
MAJOR, MINOR, MAJOR 7th, MINOR 7th, 5th
7th FLAT 5th, FOURTH, SEVENTH (NINTH).
The Major chords are recognized by playing only one note. The minor
and sevenths are recognized when playing two or more notes. The other
chord recognition is achieved by playing three or four notes. The Major,
minor and seventh chords generate three completely different arrange-
ments, written to link with each other according to statistic musical and
harmonic rules. All the automatic arrangements of the WS also activate
the "MEMORY", enabling the memorization of the chord section of the
keyboard.
