SCALE CONVERSION
If you program a Style accompaniment based on
the Major scale, the WK4 arranger will automati-
cally convert a minor or 7th chord accordingly.
This allows you to limit your User Style recording
times by, for example, recording only the Major
riff of Variation 1, in order that when you play with
the recorded style, a minor or 7th chord will be
automatically adjusted for the change. However,
in harmonic terms, this type of 'over-simplifica-
tion' creates errors when using the more com-
plex chord structures. To overcome this prob-
lem, the WK4 Scale Converter provides a selec-
tion of chord inversion systems, based on algo-
rithms in order to render the conversion more
musical.
You can program the Major chord only and set
the scale converter for the other two chords (mi-
nor and/or 7th). If, on a future occasion, you wish
to program also the respective riffs, the relative
Scale Conversion will be ignored. The param-
eter consists of two variable parts, corresponding
to the two complementary chords with respect to
the one being recorded.
If the "Off" setting is selected, the arranger car-
ries out the simplified conversion referred to. The
tables at the end of this chapter show how the
scale converter operates, both in the off status,
as well as for the Minor and 7th chords. Several
different solutions for each chord are provided
for.
The tables refer to chord and bass patterns played
in the key of C and shows which notes are con-
verted. The changes are expressed in semitones,
therefore, if the note C shows a conversion of –
2, the note is converted 2 semitones down (Bb).
Notes not converted are shown blank.

phase. The selection values are normal, triplets
or swing.

FREE MEMORY (CANNOT BE MODIFIED)
The amount of memory remaining to record the
riff. Each riff can occupy up to 30.000 bytes (30
kilobytes).
If the RAM contains a large amount of data, a
dialog window may appear showing the message
«Memory full!» indicating that the recording can-
not proceed further. The recording is instantly in-
terrupted.
You can increase the amount of space in RAM
by deactivating the Undo function.
