Performance - GEM WK2 Owner's Manual

Performance

A Performance is a combination of sounds and settings. Performances can store the cur-
rent status of the panel buttons and information pertaining to the parts that make up a
Performance to play in real time and with Styles. Performances memorise effect settings,
the status of the controllers (pedals, Pitch/Modulation ball), the pads configuration, the MIDI
channel configuration, the status of the tracks (On/Off), the Tempo setting and more. By
selecting a Performance, all the settings memorised to the Performance are recalled in a
single step.
There are 63 programmable Performances available to choose from, giving you a variety of
possibilities of setting the WK2 to your liking with the least number of operations. In addi-
tion, in ROM (non-programmable) there are as many Style-Performances as there are ROM
Styles, which you can recall at the touch of a button using the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY
function..
RealTime Performances
63 user-programmable Performances are arranged in 7 PERFORMANCE GROUPS. Per-
formances recall combinations of the keyboard sounds, panel settings, Style, Variation and
Tempo. Press the PERFORMANCE RECALL button to quickly access the Performances
(select them with the F1...F9 buttons). Hold down the same button to activate the STORE
PERFORMANCE command, which allows you to save the panel situation to the current
Performance.
Style Performance
96 default non-programmable Performances are associated to the ROM Styles which are
permanently stored in the instrument's Read Only Memory. The default Style Perform-
ances are recalled when Styles are selected with the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY function se-
lected (display indicator on). Style Performances recall sounds for the accompaniments
and keyboard sections.
Single Touch Play settings
Single Touch Play settings are additional "Performances" which are recalled by using the
function buttons F1...F9 when the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY function is active (display indica-
tor selected). In this condition, as well as being able to select the ROM Styles using the
Style / Song selection keypad, you can also recall up to 9 preset real time keyboard settings
(combinations of the Upper 1, Upper 2 and Lower sounds) which depend on the current
Style. The possibilities are, therefore, endless when you consider that there are 96 ROM
Styles, each with 10* Single Touch Play settings (960 preset settings!).
Song Style Performance
Song Style Performances (non-programmable) are associated to the Song Styles which
are stored in appropriate memory locations as indicated in the Song / Style lists at the top of
the instrument's control panel. The Song Style Performances recall sounds associated to
the accompaniment tracks and keyboard tracks used in the recording.
Song Performance
Every Song loaded or played from disk is associated to a specific Song Performance which
is automatically recalled by selecting the Song (111-117).
The Performances via MIDI?.........
Via MIDI, the Performances are a source of 16 Sounds, regardless of the status of the
instrument.
It is possible to modify the 16 Performance tracks using the Page buttons to the left of the
display, but only when the arrowhead does not show the Perf function selected. If you are
playing in real time or with the Styles, the configuration of tracks 10-16 does not influence
either playing mode (track 9 is used by the Pads), but if you are programming WK2 for use
as a multi-timbral slave device, all 16 tracks are taken into consideration.
Selecting Sounds and Performances via MIDI is discussed in a later chapter.
