owners manual
If your Song or MIDI File contain the Lyrics track (the text of the song), you can have them displayed both to on an
external monitor, and to WK2000 SE display. In this way you will be ready to sing in Karaoke style. If you wish to do
so on the display, proceed as follows
1 Select the MIDI fi le and press the START/STOP key to start the playback
2
Press the LYRICS key to enable Karaoke function (led ON)
The display will show the lyrics in the fi rst two rows. If you wish the Lyrics to be displayed by or an external monitor, or
by a domestic TV set, follow the instructions below very carefully:
Connect the RGB or S-VHS cable to the TV set or to the monitor. WK2000 SE is default set to
1
communicate with video devices which comply with the European PAL Standard. To communicate
with American NTSC standard, it is necessary to set the VIDEO SELECT MODE in the MIDI/GENERAL
mode to NTSC. If your TV-set features a S-VHS connection, it is best to use the S-VHS connector
provided with WK2000 SE. Refer to the MIDI/GENERAL chapter, or to the CONNECTIONS
Paragraph in Chapter 2 for more details.
Scroll to page 3 in the MIDI/GENERAL section and set the TEXT LYRICS function to ON by rotating
2
the DIAL.
Turn the TV to the AV channel. Refer to the instruction booklet of your TV set to select AV channel.

If you are using an external monitor, it should normally be set to AV channel.

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 WK2000 SE format only can be loaded to the RAM using the [Load All Disk]. Song Styles are
similar to Songs in several of their aspects, except that they do not contain a Lyrics track.
NOTE: it is not possible to save a SONG STYLE in MIDIFILE format.
Each Song Style is associated to a single Song Style Performance which contains all the parameters and settings for
a Song Style. This simplifi es 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 fi le, only as an [ALL] data package.
